I think the author of the article, Kathy Gilisnan, ought to go to Syria herself if she is so worried. We have no shortage of people like Kathy who contribute hot air and no action to the cause.

“We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out,” declared then-Secretary of State John Kerry.

Despite its generally far leftist stance, the Atlantic does publish some useful articles from time to time ( under editors Falliows and now Goldberg). It’s one of the few leftie pubs I still thumb through occasionally. Usually pretty well written/ edited too

It will now be on “Lyndon B. Trump” if he chooses to use force in Syria on the basis of jihadist propaganda about chemical weapons attacks.

The purpose of fighting this war for Saudi Arabia and its jihadists opposing Assad in Syria is about Saudi money, power and influence over Western nations.

But the consequences of such a war I see as the derailing of Trump’s presidency and it’s purposes like securing our southern border and the derailing of Brexit in the UK as well.

The really amazing part is J Effen Kerry accomplished this feat during his Christmas vacation in Cambodia!

President Trump, please declassify and release all verifiable evidence that indicates Assad is using chemical weapons in Syria.

I want to read it and make up my own mind.

I have completely lost confidence in the truthfulness and the motives of your Administration on this issue.

It’s an illustration of Lincoln’s quote about fooling the people. More people are getting wise to the lies, but sadly there are still some of the people who will be fooled all the time.

It's like looking for clean sheet in a wad of used toilet paper.

I guess I miss something.

If Assad uses Daisy Cutters to kill 50 kids in Syria, it’s ok, I guess. If he uses Chlorine to kill those 50 kids, it’s now worth exchanging cities with Putin, I guess?

Someone, other than the Neocons here, please explain this.

Pure propaganda....the notion that Assad could remove chemical weapons from areas not under his control is absurd.

The United States occupied Iraq for a decade and didn't remove all the chemical weapons.

Can’t explain it.

We aren’t responsible for what happens in every s-hole country around the world.

I sometimes wonder why the jihadis never try to take out the devils who are actually behind these evil campaigns which slaughter so many women and children? I mean, are there no Libyans left who realize what Hillary dead-soul Clinton did to Libya? Are Muslims unable to see the evil against innocent Muslims which Obama and his hench-ghouls perpetrated? Are Muslims unable to follow the Brennan drone strikes which slaughtered hundreds aiming to kill one suspected terrorist?
