video of Amir Tsarfati saying Israeli intelligence is positive it was Assad behind attacks.
Any intelligent ISIS propagandist would have had poison gas on hand at likely target locations. When Assad bombed, they would gas some children whose parents were insufficiently sympathetic and film the results, just after a real Syrian attack on terrorists and rebels. Or Assad might have done it himself. I find it hard to believe either Russian or Israeli conclusions on what happened.
Perhaps this was worth it, although I do not want the bigger mess we will face if Assad is removed from power. Perhaps we’ll get some value from this operational test of TLAM against Russian air defenses. Perhaps we’ll get something of domestic or foreign political value. Perhaps this will help “legitimize” President Trump in the eyes of the Ctrl-Left and the RINOs. Perhaps not.
