That's a really good argument , because the children that died there were in much more pain and are much more dead than the rotten foreign terrorists that were afforded Geneva Conventions protection here:

The Media and Mueller are obsessed with trivial issues such as did Michael Cohen use a home equity loan to give Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about a possible one night stand 12 years ago with Donald Trump, and whether this is an unlawful campaign contribution by Cohen. It is not a campaign contribution, but the facts do not matter to the Media/Mueller. Moreover, what does this have to with “Russian collusion” to affect the 2016 election?
In the real world, President Trump has to decide whether to bomb Syria to punish it because Assad used chemical weapons to kill Syrians. As we all know this is a complicated civil war in Syria with Assad, aided by Iran and Russia, fighting the rebels.
For the sake of argument, let us assume that Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons to kill. Why should we then bomb Syria?
The arguments to bomb Syria is that the United States as the leader of the free world cannot allow Assad to use chemical weapons. This is essentially a moral argument, especially today, the day of Holocaust remembrance. Hitler used chemical and other weapons to kill six million Jews, millions of Gypsies, homosexuals, Catholic and Protestant clergy, and others in the concentration camps.
If we were not at war with Nazi Germany while this was happening, we should have, according to the moral argument, bombed Germany to stop the killings. It should not matter that Hitler killed millions but Assad killed far less.
The argument against bombing Syria is a practical one. The bombing will not kill Assad or his generals but will kill Syrians unlucky to be at the military sites we bomb.

For the record....
In your exuberance you listed several friends and allies as enemies.
Who made the Chlorine gas? SAA, al Qods, AQ, or some guy with a chemistry set? As a kid in the 50s making Chlorine gas was fun ... if I could do it 65 years ago why not someone else, anyone else?
The rationale for the U.S. to get involved in the Syrian conflict over “chemical weapon attacks” is much less credible than the rationale for every U.S. city with a Planned Parenthood clinic to be bombed to a pile of radioactive rubble.
Why not just round up all the Syrian refugees in Europe and ship them back instead?
Frankly I’m sick and tired of hearing about that shithole country and could care less. It means nothing to me, nothing.
Saudi Arabia has never been our friend, they financed 9/11.
Afghanistan and Iran are not our allies.

Are you going to post proof that Assad is a war criminal?
The only way I would be for an attack on Syria is if the Intelligence was 100 percent true.
Right now I have heard conflicting reports that one of the Anti-Assad forces launched the gas attack which is plauseable.
I trust nothing coming out of that area..They will kill innocents at the drop of a dime.As long as they get the result they want.

Absolutely NO
Explain to me what has changed?
Yumpin Yemminey, I meant Yemen instead of Jordan.
I stand by all the rest.
I think obozo and the hilterbeast made the gas. bomb them both.

The Trump tweets you posted made sense. They cautioned against reckless behavior. But now Trump is now president. And every president hears this siren song: “To be a great president, you must be a war president.”
If Trump wants to be a “War President”, he can start by invading Mexico and cleaning up that shithole.
Tell me with a straight face that Barry Soetoro is not pulling anti American strings, world wide, right now!
