Good job, Mr. President!

I wonder if NOW people are going to wake up? Or is the fluoride too efficient?

I don't agree with his decision.

Bad move. Where is the proof it was the government and not the rebels that used the gas? Perhaps the government bombing hit the rebel gas stash.

Allegedly intel has it. Not only was the attack launched from the base we attacked, but in our attack we took special care not to hit the storage facilities housing the chemical weapons (nerve agents) that were used. This was to minimize civilian death in the local civilian population.

In 2013 the government forces used Sarin against the rebels.

The rebels have no capability to make these weapons.

In 2015, reports found that the rebels used Sarin gas. They do have the capability, per the reports.

What rebels? Oh yeah, the ones we support. McCain was just over there, wasn't he?

Doesn't matter, Trumps support here is vaporizing. Meanwhile the jihadis are praising him for helping clear the way for renewed ISIS attacks.

Got to get that Qatari pipeline through!

The rebels, remember? McCain posed for a picture with a group of them. At least one in the group was a known terrorist. Haha

There was a discussion on here after it happened.

The links below are to previous posts I made which include links to news articles and videos, including one which shows a rebel stating they have chemical weapons.

"""A video has emerged of an opposition rebel militant in Syria apparently confessing to using chemical weapons in order to follow Osama Bin Laden’s mantra of killing women and children.

The individual in the clip, Nadeem Baloosh, is a member of an insurgent group called Riyadh Al Abdeen, which is active in the Latakia area of Syria.

Baloosh speaks of “chemicals which produce lethal and deadly gases that I possess,” before going on to state, “We decided to harm them through their women and kids.”

Baloosh ponders if it is acceptable to harm women and children before quoting the Koran, “Fight them as they fight you. ” He goes on to quote Osama Bin Laden (whom other rebel groups have openly praised).

“We’ll kill their women and children like Sheikh Osama Bin Laden said – “until they cease killing our women and kids,” he states.

Baloosh goes on to talk about the Syrian Army approaching the area where his rebel group was located, before stating, “So we had the idea that this weapon was very powerful and effective to repel them, we announced if they approached one meter, everything is permitted.”

“We will strike them in their homes, we will turn their day into night and their night into day,” adds Baloosh."""

Suppose US government forces used prohibited chem weapons on our own people and killed some 80 odd of them in, say, a church in, oh I dunno, central Texas?

Would Russia or China be justified in bombing an American base on US soil in "response"? For the chilrenz, of course.
