Obama's red line is a permanent as a line in the sand with the hot desert wind blowing.

It was never proved that it was the Syrian g0vt that used chemical weapons the first time.

And if they did, as horrible as it is, what do we do? Support ISIS in the takeover of Assad?
Some horrifying things happen that little can be done about.
Or we would need 2 million troops spread across many African countries.
Plus I thought Russia made that deal and Syria got rid of ail its chems s/

The last time anyone said chem weapons were used, it was the “rebels” using them.
And it was chlorine if memory serves.

Giving the west more excuse to intrude, overthrow Assad, and put IS in place.
Assad is flawed. His enemies are demonic.

I see where this is going.
Obama wants to send us a couple of million muzzie refuges.

“Plus I thought Russia made that deal and Syria got rid of ail its chems”
Whether that’s meant to be satirical or not....apparently (and I am just reiterating the reports) the Syrians are using chlorine, an ordinary and ubiquitous (though fearsomely deadly and instantly debilitating) industrial chemical used in dozens of applications and easy to manufacture. Probably, it is technically not considered a WMD but is unquestionably usable for same, as it was in WW1.
To: Attention Surplus Disorder
I wasn’t sure if it was sarcasms or not myself, to tell the truth. So, I other words, there is a cheap, easy to make chemical weapon out there that isn’t so easy to just dismantle?

Well, we’re using pot, meth, speed, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, oxy, etc. against our own citizens ....
War on drugs or war with drugs?

“So it falls under a kind of loophole. With many civilian uses, like purifying water or disinfecting hospitals, it is not banned under international law and thus was not on the list of chemicals that Mr. Assad promised to destroy though using chlorine as a weapon is forbidden.”

great.
I hate to say it (not really) but how about putting all the effort into defending the southern border, the power grids, nuclear reactors, severely restricting immigration from Muslim countries (to maybe zero) etc.

Seems like 60 Minutes did a report a few weeks ago on this subject, had horrific video too— children and adults struggling to breathe, writing on the floor, and many dead bodies.
Whoever is doing the killing needs to be stopped. Reminds me of Hitler. Watch the video if you can deal with graphic; it’s probably on CBS website or youtube by now.
