In September 2013, the Obama administration congratulated itself on an agreement, brokered by Russia, that supposedly ended the use of chemical weapons (CW) in Syria. For the killings by using sarin gas, Syria’s president Assad was not punished in any way, but he was supposedly going to turn over all his CW and the possibility of a recurrence was thus ended.
President Obama said this:
"I welcome the progress made between the United States and Russia through our talks in Geneva, which represents an important, concrete step toward the goal of moving Syria’s chemical weapons under international control so that they may ultimately be destroyed. This framework provides the opportunity for the elimination of Syrian chemical weapons in a transparent, expeditious, and verifiable manner, which could end the threat these weapons pose not only to the Syrian people but to the region and the world. The international community expects the Assad regime to live up to its public commitments. . ."

What’s new? AFP is FUBAR under POSOTUS.
So, If used on ISIS, applause are in order. Every single horror man is capable of creating should be used to exterminate every last one of those roaches.
The yellow line down 0bama’s back has precedent
over all of his red lines.
Exactly.
Whenever anyone condemns us for going into Iraq because there were “no weapons of mass destruction”....just point to Syria and you will know where they were shipping them as we invaded....
The right question to ask about Iraq is should Bush have invaded earlier instead of giving Saddam time to get rid of the evidence?
