U.S. Brings A "Staggering Loss of Civilian Life" To Syria

By Liberty Report Staff

Ok, so Trump didn't drain the swamp .... That was a stretch from the beginning.

Trump's not getting rid of Obamacare, or NAFTA, or NATO .... That's definitely disappointing.

Trump's not shrinking the size or scope of government intrusion into our lives ... That's a pity.

But what the Trump Administration is doing overseas is unconscionable. That's the one area where many American voters thought they'd get something different than Hillary and the establishment. Unfortunately, they thought wrong.

​Let's look at the catastrophe that the U.S. is heaping onto Syria.

​James Bovard points out in USA Today:

Four years ago, Trump warned in a tweet: "If the US attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be worldwide hell to pay."

But the Trump administration has sharply increased US bombing while curtailing restrictions that sought to protect innocents. A British-based human rights monitoring group estimated Friday that US-led coalition strikes had killed almost 500 civilians in the past month — more than any month since US bombing began. A United Nations commission of inquiry concluded that coalition airstrikes have caused a "staggering loss of civilian life."

What have Syrian civilians done to deserve this?

Neither Syrian civilians, nor the Syrian government, pose any threat to the United States of America.

Trump boasted continuously that he was against Bush's carnage in Iraq.

Does Trump not care about his own legacy?

So many innocents are dead and gone...and we're only 6 months in.
