I don’t believe Mike Pompeo! He will say and do anything to keep the US engaged in the Middle East. We do more damage there than every other nation combined!

Where do you think they got those chemical weapons from, Iraq and Hussein.. They smuggled this crap out before the invasion of Baghdad..Iraq had weapons of mass destruction just like Bush said, just saying..kidkohls72

Let's see who provided him with the chemical gases.

If only when he had suffered the consequences of crossing that red line the first time.

It took one hour to say Iran attack S.A vs almost four months for this one

CNN told me they lie, so I don’t believe them...

And what are we gonna do about it? Call Putin?

In response to the confirmed claim of chemical weapons attack in Syria, Barrack Obama said he was seriously thinking about enforcing the red line he drew in the sand if Assad gas his own people again.

Assad is protected by Putin and Trump!

cnn see a trend here? Get me on your network a Syrian American Citizen with direct ties still in Syria. Lets go, I dare you.

US motions on Assad regime. In case you wonder Assad is the pinky dress.

Assad is an animal if he steps his foot out of Syria he'd be arrested and tried for warcrimes.

Why did this take so long? If you asked some survivors I'll bet they would have been able to tell you that. Just saying.

And trump finds them really fine people I sure

again

I heard he used poisonous chemicals... So is chlorine that poisonous Or just clearing out the atmospheric pollution, maybe! LOL.. Sorry, this distraction is so funny!

Bring it to congress. Let’s see their progressive response should be.

Horric if true. How's the impeachment coming along?

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

The words 'NO SH*T' come to mind 🙄

That’s convenient given that they need a HUGE distraction right now
