Dang!

The optometrist is smarter than the ex KGB leader

Being able to hide/use chemical weapons does not make him smarter. Using them makes him more stupid.

Sure, he was able to kill some rebels, but he went from a somewhat neutral U.S. to a somewhat hostile U.S.

That is *not* smart.

He would have been much better off not to have tested President Trump.

We have the radar tracks of aircraft. They could have dropped anything from watermelons to chemical weapons. So far, everyone who swears they dropped chemical weapons is either an Al Qaeda combatant or Al Qaeda support personnel, all in a city that has been an Al Qaeda stronghold for years.

I may have done the same thing as Trump after a while, but I'd have damn sure waited for more proof that those aircraft actually dropped chemical weapons rather than taking Al Qaeda's word for it or at the very least, I'd have hit that Al Qaeda stronghold just as hard saying we couldn't be sure whether it was their weapons hit by an airstrike that caused the deaths or weapons dropped by the Syrians that caused the deaths.

Messaging by hurting the people fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda isn't smart no matter who the message was intended for.
