Will be interesting to see how Trump handles this. One thing i find odd is russia says an airstrike hit a plant and people were transporting stuff from IRAQ. I thought iraq duct have / make chemical weapons

This is pretty much a no win for Trump. If he uses military action people will blast him for what he said during the campaign. If he does nothing he will be blasted by humanitarians and other countries.
Remember Obama "negotiated" with Russia in 2013 to remove all chemical weapons from Syria. That was supposedly one of his "wins"....
And yet liberals are telling me I'm supposed to trust Russia and Iran to keep with the Iranian Nuclear deal.... yeah, right.

Yes I remember that.
I also remember reading an article right beforehand the first incident that said the rebellion would be crushed by Assad by Christmas of that year because of the Syrian Air Force turning the tide and allowing the governments troops to constantly advance and destroy the rebel forces. But the rebels used chemical weapons on an area that the government controlled. That gave the Obama regime the impetus to destroy the Syrian Air Force and arm the "moderate Muslim rebels" that spawned ISIS.
This time just like last time the Syrian government had no reason to use chemical weapons and did not, but our government looks for an excuse to continue perpetual war.
Building an international coalition, condemning Assad, and forcing him to step aside is the optimal solution.
No it isn't.
Assad continuing in power and keeping the the country on an even keel after it has been stabilized is. Arabs are an incredibly tribal culture and these tribes war and feud all the time. Arab countries need a strongman/king/dictator to keep that in check.Otherwise the countries fall into chaos and internecine war.
Hard to help countries socially stuck in the 7th century. I thank my lucky stars I was never born into one of them.
Bush? to late
True. Libya and Iraq didn't work out so well after we took out Khaddafi and (the other) Hussein.
50 Tomahawks. Took out an airbase it seems. Time to sit back and watch ... let Assad think on it for awhile.
