"The attack came 5 days after Trump signaled that the Syrian dictator would not be held accountable"

Scott Pelley, CBS Evening News: “The attack came 5 days after the Trump administration signaled that the Syrian dictator would not be held accountable...”




FURTHERMORE, Obama - following the US Constitution (unlike TRUMP), asked Congress to approve airstrikes on Syria back in 2013. CONGRESS REFUSED to even vote on it. Who dominates Congress? REPUBLICANS.

This has NOTHING to do with Obama and EVERYTHING to do with TRUMP and the REPUBLICANS.

...."Trump didn't just praise Hussein for keeping terrorists at bay, but seemed to tacitly accept the dictator's use of chemical weapons. During a December rally in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Trump took a cavalier attitude toward Iraq's use of chemical weapons under Saddam.

"Saddam Hussein throws a little gas, everyone goes crazy, 'oh he's using gas!'" Trump said. Describing the way stability was maintained in the region during that time, Trump said "they go back, forth, it's the same. And they were stabilized.".... (more)
