Not true BB...remember a guy named Saddam Husein? Used Chemical weapons against the Iranians on the field of battle..and later against his Kurdish population.
Yes, but don't forget about napalm in Vietnam. I'll never forget this photo of a little girl running naked from her home after her clothing was burned and her skin was melting off her bones.
You beat me to it while I was looking for sources to reference. Yeah, this isnt the first time since WW1.
It is also fairly irrelevant that the 6 million Jews werent technically enemy combatants when gassed to death. Spicer was trying to link using chemical weapons to some sort of "nobody else has done something like this" position. But killing however many millions Jews died as a result of being gassed is still an unforgivable use of a chemical weapon.
But I think Assad should be dealt with by our SEAL teams.
That was not a Military action, against a foreign adversary. That was a False Flag, to drag the USA to regime change Iraq. Kuwait was a primer.
I can't believe the lunatics on are trying to defend this garbage. Utterly mind bending how they try to warp and re-write history to fit their political spectrum.
Yes, they use Alternative Facts. Who knows what conspiracy theory they are on concerning Democrats this week? It's proven that Fox watchers would be better off not watching news than watching their news.
It's a shame that the president uses their reports as fact. What has this country come to? He is so completely in the dark it's ridiculous. Wonder how much the Maro Lago trips are going to cost the taxpayers by the time his term is up? Not to mention the security in New York, Washington and coverage of his mailorder bride and Ivanka and her husband? Trump has made this presidency a family affair.
Here's what Dan Rather had to say about Spicer's little speech, perfectly stated.
"It is with sadness that I do not know where to begin. Today in a briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued a statement that is so far beyond the pale, so tone deaf and blind to history and our precarious moment in world affairs, that it is with only a heavy heart that I even bring attention to it. There can be no joy in such incompetence.
In trying to make the case for the Administration's policy in Syria and vis a vis Russia which is confused to be generous, and wildly chaotic to be more precise, Mr. Spicer said, “We didn’t use chemical weapons in World War II. You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” He continued, “So you have to, if you are Russia, ask yourself: Is this a country and a regime that you want to align yourself with?” When asked to clarify, Mr. Spicer said, "“I think when you come to sarin gas, he (Hitler) was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing.” Mr. Spicer went on to mention "Holocaust centers," in an apparent reference to the Nazi concentration camps. This line of rhetoric is so unhinged, so amateurish, so lacking in the context and perspective necessary for statesmanship and diplomacy that I do not see how Mr. Spicer can be allowed to continue in his current position. But in the end, this is less about him and more about an Administration that is inserting itself in a civil war and now is plunging into a drastic reformulation of American foreign policy without any clear sense that they have a plan. When you try to explain such a situation, it is understandable that your words don't make sense.
A bar, already set low, continues to drop."
