never said that..just dont believe it was syria
The only other Nation that has fixed wing aircraft that could fly from that airbase is Russia so if you don't believe it was Assad your only other choice is to believe Russia did it.
Sorry if i sound like a smartass but who said that only russians can pilot russian aircrafts. It's possible that a syrian pilot used a russian aircraft for the attack.

And who controls the airbase, who mixed the agents for delivery pre flight? Are you going with the lone pilot theory? If so there are too many grassy knolls for it to work.

Well, I guess at least it was legal that we probably bombed the right enemy's airbase even if it won't actually accomplish anything positive as a result.

When you have proof, please share!
Way more questions than answers at this point unfortunately.

Russia Today says that Syria's State News claims no personnel were lost in the attack.
I hope that's true, but at a time like this I wouldn't consider Syrian State News to be particularly reliable.

You think Assad will use chemical weapons again after this? Seems like a positive result to me.

Ah, thanks. Sorry I missed it the first time you posted it. The thread is moving too quick.

You'll get proof at the same time I will.
I just think we should make sure we are attacking the correct people before we launch a whole bunch of missiles at them.
But I'm old fashioned like that....

How do Russia, Iran and China stand to gain from this?
Russia makes billions personally enriching Putin from arms sales, but they get to keep their naval base.
Saudi Arabia is waging a proxy war against Iran. Both want piplines. Iran/Russia besties.
China. Anyone thats ever read the Art of War. To win a battle one doesn't need to engaged directly.
Get two sides to kill each other.
And China needs oil/natural gas more so than anyone. OVer 1 billion people to feed and cloth.

Well he didn't before.
I guess he sure as hell won't now.
Although the rebels will probably do another one and blame it on him again now they know how easy he is to fool.
