The UN is the best we got....
The US as far as a I know hasn't called for any investigation on the chemical weapons. I wonder why?
Sorry, but the UN did call for an investigation, and they completed
it. Their verdict was Syria used chemical weapons on its own people.
Here is the UN report, and following the U.S Sanctions on Syria.
This just happened a few months ago, coincidentally right
before Trump took office, under the Obama Administration.
So, cant blame Trump!
LOOK at the date!!!

Score another win for the Lamestream Media, flip the pancake
and look, Putin's angelic face smiles on the other side.
Insanity.
So, for the Times to compile a summary of alleged Assad atrocities, which included a separate section on “chemical attacks,” and to leave out the August 2013 case suggests that even The New York Times cannot sustain one of the most beloved myths of the Syrian war, that Assad was at fault for the sarin attack.
In this particular instance, we have the facts.
Last night, the UN commission looking into allegations of war crimes in Syria tried to row back on the comments by its human rights investigator, pointing out that conclusive evidence had not been discovered.
A senior United Nations official has claimed that Syrian rebels may have used chemical weapons against government forces.
Carla Del Ponte said evidence from casualties and medical staff indicated that rebel forces in the civil war had used the deadly nerve agent sarin.
Several speakers said that the Syrian Government bore primary responsibility for the attack, with France’s representative saying there was significant evidence that the event had not resulted from an air strike....
The United Kingdom’s representative said the Assad regime continued to humiliate the Russian Federation by demonstrating just how empty Syria’s promises to remove its chemical weapons had been. If Moscow hoped to regain its credibility, it must join the Council in helping efforts to ensure accountability, rather than hindering them.
Others took a more cautious view, with Bolivia’s representative warning against using the Council as a “pawn on the chessboard of warlords”, and cautioning against anticipating the investigation’s outcome until it was concluded.
Egypt’s representative, meanwhile, emphasized the need to bring the 4 April perpetrators to justice. “We cannot understand how such crimes can go unnoticed without accountability,” he said, pledging that his country would support any Council action to hold those responsible to account and urging a focus on the production, possession and use of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors.
Also speaking today were representatives of China, Japan, Italy, Uruguay, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Ethiopia, Ukraine and Senegal.
He said that his delegation objected to the draft’s reliance on falsified reports and to the hasty preparation of the text. The draft should condemn the use of chemical weapons by any party, and urge the fact-finding mission to write up thorough reports, he said, stressing that its current efforts could not be called impartial.

Sorry burntheships, but are you seriously getting your "facts" from the UN? It was NATO Special Forces that trained al-Nusra how to "handle" chemical weapons in the first place. They stuck around after the first attack in order to oversee any future staged attacks.

I do not disagree with you, and think it is always
necessary to examine everything.
In this particular instance, we have the facts.
1. All of the prior attacks in Syria ( and there were many )
a list of which are here in the UN report www.un.org...
all happened under OBAMA.
2. Obama declared Syria used chemical weapons on its own people.
3. The United Nations faults SYRIA for using chemical weapons on its
own people, as evidenced by the report above.
4. The media did not disagree with OBAMA and The United Nations.
5. John Kerry did not disagree with Obama and The United Nations.
6: Susan Rice did not disagree with Obama and The United Nations.
7. Did anyone disagree with Obama and The United Nations?
8. Did Russia call the prior attacks false flags?
Obviously, you can see where I am going with this?
What makes this particular "chemical weapons" attack
different, what makes this one a false flag?
I am really honestly asking for a logical answer....
And, for the Record I have never been Pro Russia either.
