ZERO HEDGE — Less than three months after the US launched 49 cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase in early April, allegedly in retaliation for a chemical attack conducted by Assad forces, in an ominous statement issued with no supporting evidence or further explanation, on Monday night the White House warned that the U.S. has “identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime” in Syria and warned that Assad would “pay a heavy price” if one took place.
Such an attack “would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children,” White House (outgoing) spokesman Sean Spicer added, noting the activity is “similar to preparations the regime made before its April 4, 2017, chemical weapons attack.”

Cartoon headline I swear. On the radio stations yesterday morning the drones were reading from a script and said, “Assad is planning on attacking innocent women and children with chemical attacks….” What a joke. No mention of the number of children the US has killed.
And you gotta love the Cheney-esque part about “a non-governmental source with close ties to the White House said the administration had received intelligence that the Syrians were mixing precursor chemicals.”
does it start with M?
