Trump just promised that Syria will pay a price for their actions.

I guess you missed it, but again, there is no ban on chemical weapons. There are signatories on two conventions, that is all. The US has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons, and has an official policy of reserving is right to use them.

We should invade Syria and if Russia doesn't like it we should bomb them. It Trump doesn't do it it's because he colluded.

But incinerating women and children with bombs is okay? What an odd set of values.
And again the US uses tear gas on its own citizens.

I am tired of moral equivalency on these issues. There are people for whom nothing the U.S., Israel or other civilized Western nations is good.

Again the verbal attacks on anything the U.S. does to maintain order are incessant.

Not compared to the outrage over the defense of Israel's border with Gaza. See In Gaza, Israel Aims To Massacre Hope where I'm getting ready to say my piece.

Probably more, actually.

It seems the Syrians were emboldened by Trump' pull out announcement, but he is desperately trying to blame Obama for it
