On Wednesday, Defense Secretary James Mattis confirmed to reporters that the United States and its allies are “still assessing the intelligence” about the alleged chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians this weekend.
In response to a question about whether U.S. military forces are “ready right now to conduct a retaliatory strike if ordered,” Mattis added: "We stand ready to provide military options if they are appropriate as the President determines.”
Mattis’s comments followed President Trump’s tweet this morning promising that missiles “will be coming” to Syria soon:
In spite of Trump’s above certainty about Assad’s culpability in the chemical attack, on Monday, the president said that American intelligence had not been able to confirm who had carried out the attack. He also expressed frustration that the area was not immediately made open to international investigators [emphasis mine]:

I think the terrorists either staged the whole thing (hoax) or else the terrorists bombed their own people.
And I think Trump knows that or at least suspects that. There was no reason for Assad to carry out this operation.
Agree 100%
The why the Sam Hill are we pi$$ing away million dollar missiles?

Words of wisdom from Mattis....we don’t know.
Meanwhile, the globalists go:
Well, to paraphrase the line from that iconic scene in “Treasure of the Sierra Madre”:
“Proof? We ain’t got no proof! We don’t need no proof! I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ proof!”
Lap Dog may countermand Trump’s order like he did on cross dressers.
Hmmmm.
This can’t be, I was told by Beagle8u that they knew exactly when, how and by who the chemical weapons were used.
Who benefits? The deep state, the left... so on...
I appreciate Mattis’ plainspoken honesty. He knows a lot of people in both parties want a new war and they want it now!
More likely, some would be delighted to see Trump caught up in such a conflict with no clear way out.
Bingo!
That’s it!

Iran would be happy to drag us into their quagmire with another chemical attack.
Yet we had DDOZENS of vocal advocates for WAR right here on FR.
The poor, misguided dummies.
I agree.It smells pretty bad.
Oh yeah without a doubt!
