Haley: Chemical attack could happen in US 'if we're not smart'

Source: The Hill



BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 04/15/18 09:36 AM EDT

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley defended U.S. strikes on Syria in the wake of the country's chemical weapon attack, saying on Sunday a similar chemical attack could happen in the U.S. if precautions are not taken.

“This very easily could happen in the United States if we're not smart, and if we're not conscious of what's happening," Haley told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

“We have to be very conscious of the fact that we cannot allow even the smallest use of chemical weapons. That's why you saw the president strike this past weekend, that's why you saw him expel sixty Russian spies after the attack in Salisbury," she said.

Haley's comments come days after the U.S., in partnership with France and the U.K., launched over 100 missiles at three targets in Syria, aimed at taking out the country's chemical weapons facilities.

I thought pouring bleach in the ammonia mop water would sterilize the floors of the restaurant I was mopping.

It did clean out the restaurant---everyone was evacuated. Until it was safe.

The truth of the matter is that the ridiculous anti-regulation campaign Spanky’s EPA is on will probably turn out to be the source of our own chemical attack with ignorance and greed being the likely culprit.

your a fucking idiot, ever hear of fucking MONSANTO, or DUPONT, they gas us every fucking day when they spray the crop fields, or how about the fracking companies and all that shit going into the ground water, or the oil pipelines contaminating the waterways and still not cleaning up there shit................after all there chemicals cause nerve damage and other items to the skin, brain, liver, lungs....... .


Your fucking sexual predator, if he had any balls-------------would 1. tell Russia / Iran to go fuck themselves, and then tell them that this Assad asshole has exactly 48 hours to get the fuck out of country or we are going to kill him-------------sounds pretty radical, but you know what I am really tired having dictators or wanna be dictators, killing people just because they are narcissistic megalomaniac psychopathic ego driven assholes that think they can just about get away with any and everything just so that they can be saying to themselves everyday I must have fucking power or They are a nobody, they are a nobody ...........sound familiar ..........HALEY-----------------he goes and plays fucking golf every weekend running around with his "locked and Loaded" bull shit, so that he can divert his criminal enterprise of being a fucking traitor and mafia boss...................

"If *we're* not smart"?

I am somewhat aware, but Trump is the dumbest person ever to be POTUS. By her logic, an attack is inevitable.

I hear there's a smart guy in the WH. lol Who's investigating the possibility? The FBI? The CIA? Thank goodness some of them are still doing their jobs after what you people have been trying to do to those organizations.

Tim McVeigh loaded vast quantities of solid chemicals in a Ryder rental truck and blew up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. One hundred-sixty eight people including 19 young children were murdered.

So, maybe they should be following white supremacists so that they don't blow up federal buildings, mosques, churches etc.

Just my two cents.

However, does she mean foreign to domestic power using chemical weapons against the US?

Because Syria's attack was allegedly from the head of state of Syria. Is she warning that we must be very aware of the administration or they could easily start attacking our population? Is impeachment a proper precaution? I think this is the parallel analogy.

Am I reassured other world powers can strike us if our population wad chemical weapons used against us?

What are they spraying to disperse liberal protesters?

Maybe Haley should STFU

But on further reflection I decided that she is just an idiot who is unable to construct coherent sentences.
