When Saddam gassed the Kurds at Halabja during the Iran-Iraq War, we didn’t lift a finger in retaliation, much less form a coalition of all the familiar good guys. This was because Saddam worked with us and we wanted Iran humbled.
How about ISIS, who was helped out by Turkey, a NATO ally (and probably us in some way) among other militia groups who did the same? They used chemical weapons many times against civilians, much more that that for which the UN is taking Assad to account. Are we to place major sanctions on Turkey and take out all NATO weapons in retaliation? Why hasn’t that happened? Why haven’t we strung up the parts of the deep state and McCain acolytes who quite obviously supported the aforementioned groups?
The hypocrisy is overwhelming. I do not support this action, and I think it is wrong.
I agree on attacking Syria. Just none of our business.
