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."""

That was 2013, not 2015.
And yes there are disputes as to who used Sarin.
And I am aware of the Muslim propensity to kill their own to paint themselves as victims.
However, the large majority attribute the use of chemical weapons to the government forces.
The wiki I linked to earlier actually has some good info on this event.

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

Seems like the French may have helped the rebels against England back a few years ago...

You're correct, 2013, not 2015.

Did the French bomb America? Or did they give logistical support to British rebels fighting for secession of their colonies from the UK?

Bombing a foreign country without a declaration of war from Congress, and not being an immediate response to an attack on America or Americans, is illegal under our supposed law.

Plus, bombing a country's military that is waging an internal war against terrorists (designated as such by our own govt) who are open and declared enemies of the US is nothing short of treason (aiding our enemies).

But nobody cares about the rule of law anymore. Haven't since the 1930s at least.

Furthermore, the French gave us primarily naval support. Secondly, the Colonial soldiers were just that,SOLDIERS of a professional army of a nation-state strictly observing the rules of warfare. They were not a bunch of nomadic psychos going around burning people alive or slitting throats. Poster Houston owes an apology to their memory.
