I’m beginning to think all this official moralizing exposes a strategic weakness by the US.
Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hezbollah and Iran now know what they need to do to effect regime change and chaos wherever they like.
I’m betting the cartels south of the border also noticed.
Chlorine gas and helicopters are not that hard to come by,.
Just ask a certain weird cult in Filthydelphia.
You make an interesting point, probably more profound than anything the decision makers considered. Taking it a few steps further....What if whites deviously in South Africa unleashed some chlorine and blamed the gov? Would we go in and do the regime change dance there? What if someone pulls that stunt in Venezuela, El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, or Bangladesh? What if there’s “proof of a suspected attack” in the West Bank, done by Israel? It could be like The Mouse That Roared on steroids!
