Only 10 months later the intel community says, well sorry we couldnt prove assad did it.
But now trust us again, we cant offer proof, but this time we are super sure assad gassed his people.
And away we go again.
Wanting solid evidnece before dropping bombs does not make a person a pacifists; it makes them rational.

What's annoying about this incident (and maybe previous ones too, but I don't remember the details of them) is that there is an international team of inspectors at the site right now attempting to determine if chemical weapons were used. It wouldn't answer who used them, only if they were used.
Given the way Mattis has argued here, and the limited US response, I suspect it's going to be inclusive or even a negative that they were used, and the US will just say that what's done is done rather than having waited the additional couple days to get conclusive evidence. And all of that assumes we're even in the right to attack a nation for using chemical weapons.

Which they are. If you're not for it, you're against it, there is no middle ground right now. If you do not support the President, even in tough times, then you may as well vote for the Democrats and we've already seen the corruption they caused.

If you can only see 2 options the lack of foresight is on you and you alone.
Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”
Until there is election reform, term limits, and zero private dollars injected into elections, it will remain 2, and only 2, options. I wasted a vote once on an Independent...never again until those changes are implemented.
