    Looks fishy.

    Trump Admin OK's Assad then a few days later they use chemical weapons? Like really?


    Saw pictures of them cleaning kids from chemical weapons without chem gear.

    Yes but there is no good solution. Obama wasted his opportunity years ago and ceded Putin the advantage. Trump taking action against Syria and Assad will only make things worse and commit our forces to another useless bloodletting. This is no different than Iraq 2, Libya, Yemen, Sudan etc etc.
    I think the best of the bad options is to create and enforce safe area in Syria away from the fighting for refugees. Get other Arab states to pay for in and perhaps NATO, ASEAN and other international agencies to manage it. We would have to enforce the area and do our best to prevent Assad, Iranian allied or ISIS from establishing a presence.
    I don't hold much hope that it will be anything but a quagmire but it seems to me it is the least caustic for our position. Done halfway well it would solve the refugee problem and possibly provide a better life for those involved.

    Isis wants war. We should not entertain them.
