What would you do in Syria

And repeating that "We have troops on the ground" speaks not all to the question of whether those troops might now be in more danger, after a weak attack.

2) Your claim that "wind" is a factor is also a non-factor. Sarin degrades and dissapates quickly. That is why doctors and paramedics can rush into affected areas and rescue people.  US troops are hundreds of miles away from the attack site in North East Syria.

3) And in your dialogue with Oncemore, you introduced an entirely different rationale for the attack on emotional/humanitarian grounds of the sort that Trump has heretofore sneered at. "I can look Syrian children in the face and tell them NO, you can't come here."

4) And you continue to fall back on the "consensus" line, now narrowed to the "western world," which means nothing coming from someone who has heretofore ignored international criticism of Trump.

 

I numbered each and was ready to respond to each individually, then I decided enough is enough.

Bottom line is you condemn the move and I support it. I going to go outside and talk to the wall now.
