Ok, Assad is gassing his own people. This is the second time since Trump has been in office and the second time the US has taken part in bombing key areas. Apparently (and I’m not saying you) when Obama drew his fake red line people were cheering that something was finally going to be done about Syria’s human rights atrocities. It happened again and obama did nothing. Tell me how it’s wrong to go in knowing full well this is still happening? Is it to blame Trump just because it’s Trump? But this even goes beyond Syria. Why is Russia coming to their defense? They’re the ones that assured us that there would be no chemical weapons. Is also not in our best interest?
Fake news. He did not gas his own people.

This assertion flies in the face of the White House (NSC) Memorandum which was rapidly produced and declassified to justify an American Tomahawk missile strike against the Shayrat airbase in Syria.
Mattis offered no temporal qualifications, which means that both the 2017 event in Khan Sheikhoun and the 2013 tragedy in Ghouta are unsolved cases in the eyes of the Defense Department and Defense Intelligence Agency.
Mattis went on to acknowledge that “aid groups and others” had provided evidence and reports but stopped short of naming President Assad as the culprit.
Coachie, wake the fuck up!
