In fact, international investigators concluded last year that the Syrian government had gamed the system.


So, last year the world knew that Assad still had chem weapons, and no one did anything about it. We knew that Russia failed to keep up their end of the agreement last year, and did nothing. We knew that Assad would likely use those weapons because he's used them before, and we did nothing about it. Obama told Assad and Russia in 2014 that we'd keep the use of force as an option if Assad didn't get rid of those weapons, but we did nothing.

Obama and Kerry look like fools, and IMHO they have blood on their hands.

...
Blaming Obama for Putin and Assad concealing some of their weapons? Had Obama launched 59 missiles 4 years ago, it's highly doubtful he would have destroyed as much poison gas as was removed under the agreement. Put blame where it belongs, Whell.
