White House Releases Gas Video To Drum Up War Support
Wave the bloody shirt
WASHINGTON — CNN aired graphic videos of victims Saturday that it said were shown to select US lawmakers as part of a push to shore up support for a strike on Syria.
The broadcaster said the 13 videos were shown Thursday to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee who were told they depict victims of an August 21 chemical weapons attack in the war-torn country.
Excerpts depict convulsing children and men sprawled on the floor apparently vomiting and foaming at the mouth.

How about you release the video where someone explains how this is our business?

Until this issue is settled, all else is commentary.
Where is the video?
Did they have any pictures of how people look after a US bombing raid?
Just open a can of cat food.
Pretty much how they look.

They should release the video of all the drone attacks we've done since Obama took office.
Yeah, yeah, but when we murder children it's for a good reason, and with nice clean hellfire missiles.
Smart move. Nothing gets liberals harder than dead children.
Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned necrophilia with hot chicks?!
