And again, the important point made here today was the message that despots can not use chemical weapons without repercussions. Are you really that obtuse that you cannot understand that? We don't do Obama speeches anymore, we actually punish out-of-control leaders now.
“ROFLMAO, you think a nation like Syria has extra lying around”
Russia does, I believe they are in the area.
“today was the message that despots can not use chemical weapons without repercussions.”
So no way ISIS staged this?
Don’t laugh, the Russian’s can replace all of that rather quickly, Assad
doesn’t need his own stash.

That was an important part of the message.
The larger message was that enemies of the U.S. really shouldn't violate international norms, or threaten American interests. If they do, bad things may happen to them.
Hopefully dictators around the world will change their behavior so that their interactions with the U.S. will be free of difficulty.
