You still think Assad used chemical weapons on his own people? hmm
cui bono?
The idea of working with the Russians to pressure Assad had been discussed informally in the White House earlier, and had even come up in a conversation between Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It's fairly sad that Trump has fallen for this extremely obvious deception. Unless this is an intentional move by him to placate the warmongers while planning to do nothing.
“Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria.”

I think assad is a rational player. Chemical attacks benefit him in no way.
Remember that ceaserfire 8 months backs with us, russia, syria being brokered. Then Obummber dropped a BIG bomb on Syrian Troops and said ooppssie. working together to fight ISIS ruined.
Were close to working together. cue chemical attack.

He gains to things rebels fear him. But more important he gets the rebels to leave areas troops have to fight house ro house casualties are high. With his army if they take major losses they will flee.

Surprised at Trump I admit. I thought he knew better. Assad doing such a low value--militarily speaking that is--attack doesn't compute. Guess our economy would collapse without that pipeline through Syria.
