At least 100 dead in suspected chemical attack in Syria

It's really sick when bombs are dropped on a hospital!
Are they trying to strike at those hiding among the innocent, or are they just trying to get the U.S. more deeply involved?

ISIS is trying to get the US more deeply involved. It's easier for them to kill us on the ground there than it is for them to have to travel here to do it. They've said that all along, that they want us to invade them on their own turf, and use their "prophecies" to predict a defeat for "the Crusaders", of which the US seems to be the chief in their minds, after that invasion. That's what the Dabiq prophecy is all about. The Russians are also classified as "Crusaders" to them, and ISIS hasn't been having all that much success against them. Assad is NOT a "Crusader" to them, he is instead a "Murtadd", in league with the Crusaders, because he opposes their alleged Caliphate in favor of keeping Syria Syrian, and he passed a slew of laws aimed at protecting religious minorities against the Sunni majority. One of those laws outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria because of it's intolerance for any religion that is not fundamentalist Sunni, and it's political ambitions to wrest Syria from Assad and instead rule it with an ISIS style iron fist as a stepping stone to recreation of a caliphate. ISIS is at odds with the Muslim Brotherhood and most of the Syrian opposition on political grounds... it's basically a fight among them for who is going to rule the Caliphate roost - the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, AQ, or a variety of other wannabes.

Assad outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood is what started the Syrian civil war, not any alleged "human rights abuses" that we hear the US, the UN, and all things Left harping on about.

If the hospital was bombed by either Syria or Russia, which is altogether plausible, they were bug bombing to get rid of the roach infestation there. Some times, the good bugs get iced right along with the bad, when the bad ones are intermixed with the good ones. Collateral damage, the cost of doing business with cowards who hide among women and children. Going in house-to-house would be no less destructive on the bystanders, but a lot more destructive on the attacking forces. You win wars by killing as many of the opposition as efficiently as you can while preserving as many of your own as you can.

If the "innocents" don't like that, they can always fight ISIS from the inside. We can air drop them munitions to get the job done. All they gotta do is ask. If they ain't asking for the means to defend themselves, they got no business bitching when they get caught in the crunch with their buddies.

I guess I'm in a bit of a mood today. It's one of those days when telling me the dog ate yer homework ain't gonna get a free pass from me.
