It isn’t set yet.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Wednesday that the U.S. and key allies are still working on options to respond to Syria’s suspected chemical attacks, and have not concluded who was behind the attacks.

“We are still assessing the intelligence, ourselves and our allies, we’re still working on this,” Mattis said when asked whether the government of Syrian president Bashar Assad was responsible.

I want to thank you so much for that post. “We are still assessing the intelligence, ourselves and our allies, we’re still working on this,” Mattis said when asked whether the government of Syrian president Bashar Assad was responsible.”

The statement of General Mattis is such welcome news that I almost was tearing up. I want to believe so bad that Trump has demanded the proof and this indicates that he has.If the proof is there then so be it!! Then this needs to go to Congress and a vote taken on going to war with Russia, Iran, and Syria over what happened. I would vote ‘NO!!” but we have representative government and if the Congress, duly assembled, vote to attack a sovereign nation over the use of Chlorine then I will SHUT UP. Otherwise I will not!
