The chemical attack happened just days after Haley and Tillerson changed US policy and said that they had no interest in toppling Assad. It therefore makes as much sense, or more sense, that rebels needed to create an incident to draw the US back in.
“You pick and choose your battles, ...and when we’re looking at this, it’s about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out." - Nikki Haley, March 30 2017
"I think... the longer-term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people." - Tillerson, March 30 2017
I'm still skeptical that Syria dropped chemical bombs.
This is a rebel held town, the rebels are known to make and use chlorine bombs.
Survivors describe the the odor and colored smoke from the "sarin" bombs. Sarin is colorless and odorless.
All video has come from the White Helmets. The White Helmets are known to stage and fake dead children videos.
This time Ivanka fell for it so we have to go to war.
The Idlib rebels have stored and transported sarin gas cylinders in the past. Turkish security have found them in the possession of Jaysh al-Islam. Dr. Shajul Islam's twitter account also has almost daily videos of purported sarin gas exposures to civilians. Either the claims of exposure are untrue, or they're intentionally subjecting people to toxic chemicals in hopes of getting US air support. The presence of only one or two individuals indicates that they weren't the result of an aistrike.
So Donny lobs some missiles from an aircraft carrier with no threat of return fire because he was moved by a chemical attack on Syrian children. However the very next day, the Syrian Air Force takes off from the same airstrip that was bombed by said missiles, and rains down terror and death (non chemical) to the same town but different children and civilians and nothing happens.
To me it suggests that the missiles were nothing but a political and impulsive move because it is doubtful Donny has a comprehensive plan to topple and remove Assad from power. So that being the case why do it, and just so you know I have no interest in sending our troops to Syria, just like BO and the Congress in 2013.
So per usual, a typical Donny move which is a lot of sound and fury, but signifying nothing.
Am I wrong Trumpies or are you ready to invade another Middle Eastern Country?
You're wrong. Political strength moves are done in Election years. Personally, I think it is why the Republicans are farting around on tax reform. They rather do it next year.
Don't tell me about Obama's Porkapalooza shovel ready bs in 2009. That was just to pork up the place.

They could have been killed by an intentional or unintentional clorine bomb or leak. The doctor's videos don't rule out chlorine. The White Helmets are known to stage and rescue dead bodies from rubble.
LOL! The constitution was blown up years ago. Remember the "living, breathing document" crap?
OK, I challenge you, where was the declaration of war in the Barbary Coast imbroglio, the one that gave rise to "from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli"?
