It is very hard to stop Assad from doing as he wishes. Obama at least got him to remove his mustard, Sarin and VX.

It was essentially the UN and Obama telling Assad that Chemical weapons were a no no in 2013. It was the UN who set the terms of enforcement in case of non-compliance. Why could the US not follow UN Security Council Resolution 2118 and go to the UN for international support/sanction for military action against Syria?

Why diverge from the response set by past agreement and diplomacy?
