  1. The sites hit are a no-brainer, Assad is known to have a CW program and its reasonable to assume the targets were authentic. The issue is not the targets, but whether or not there were a CW attack and who is the responsible party. I have no doubts that the targets hit, were legitimate military targets; my only question is did Assad actually order a CW attack?

  2. Typical Vox warmongering - WTF do you want him to do, nuke Assad???

  3. Youre right, but Devil's advocate and all, perhaps Assad was trying to take out a HVT?

  4. Oh, right - 'cancer medicine'. And now, America has stopped the benevolent Assad regime from getting cancer medicine to Syrian babies 😞 They didnt say it was a production facility, they specifically differentiated between the R&D facilities, the production facilities and the storage facilities, as like, kinda their point, in attacking three separate targets. This is what happens when you mingle military facilities with 'civilian' interests, as is common practice in military dictatorships... go figure.

  5. Snipers are at a stalemate in Syria and theyre dropping artillery shells from helicopters, I dont think 'smart bombs' are a viable option. If used properly(which it almost never is) gas could be a very effective weapon for hitting a HVT when you cant be sure of a precise location, or have direct access to a location. How would you use a sniper or precision bomb, if you only know your target is in a neighborhood and will no doubt be bunkered and not exposing itself? You have two options - level the entire area and bounce the rubble a few times, or use something like gas. Im not saying its right, just that it is a viable explanation for why he would use gas. Perhaps it wasnt even sanctioned and a field command made a unilateral decision? Undoubtedly, IF it were the regime that did it, they assumed they wouldnt get caught, which would be why such a small scale attack was made. The proper way to use gas, is to saturate the area, for an extended period, not simply drop a gas shell and expect it to work - you have to 'fumigate' the target... but that doesnt go unnoticed.
