I claimed at the time the first chemical attack, it done by the rebels we're backing to get us more involved.
This attack as soon as we started talking about pulling out just reinforces that claim.

Given Putin is resurrecting the cold war and Romney was right, it is a dangerous game to play allowing the Russians and Iran free reign in that region. Lets not forget it was inaction by Obama that unleashed the refugee invasion of Europe and Jordan. Jordan is a stable nation with reasonable leaders, for now. They are being inundated with Syrian refugees on top of the Palestinians, Iraqis and others that are in camps there. Already nearly a million which we pay millions of $s to maintain.
I don't buy into the conspiracy theories about rebels gassing their own. We know exactly where and when every plane that flies in the region as we maintain 24hr AWACS coverage. As anyone who was on the ground there knows Saddam did have WMDs and used them. It is also clear that they were sent to Syria before the Bush II invasion.
Having fought this same extended war starting 26 years ago, I like the way Trump has dealt with ISIS, the Russians in Syria and Iran. Small but effective numbers on the ground, airpower and sea launched missiles rather than bases and nation building. The point is to defeat the enemy and let others know we are serious. This is exactly why NK has backed down to extent they have. Iran can not be given any signals that would encourage them to continue with their regional domination agenda.
It is FAR better to fight a smart, effective war in the desert than anyplace in the west. Hiding our heads in the sand will only end in an Islamic world that our grand kids will have to deal with. Never forget that Putin, the Iran, NK, Hezbollah, Pakistan and the Yemenis are all in cahoots in an unholy coalition that if left unchecked will become very dangerous to us economically, through terrorists and with military capabilities.

I'm tryinmg to follow your logic. Russia and Iran want the area, so instead of letting us leave, they gas people to keep us there?

And the media is coloring Russia as the boogie man again.
Pretty quick to point the finger again when it makes no sense for them to have done it, but does make sense for the ones we're backing? Us intelligence and the Trump administration pointed that finger. You just have a hunch
