Perhaps I should back up.
Are you in agreement with the official narrative?

Who is to say what anyone else would have done?
Who is to say that this alone sits in Assads lap?
Who is to say!!!
Damn man, wake the f*** up!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO OR WHAT!
It only matters that there shall be no allowance of the use of chemical weapons and this shall be clear! Do you not understand that?
Oh but it does matter. Who did it and who investigates and who tries and who convicts and who decides and deals the sentence. Or do we stop all that because of propaganda and feels?
ETA: You wake the #)(*$ up. You're being manipulated.
Almost everyone believes Assad could not be responsible. However, knowing that there is a chance that Assad is actually responsible, I am able to deduce that there is also the possibility, nay, nearly the fact, that Assad is responsible.
You make the rest of us sick. And there are a lot of people who feel sick right now.

Fair enough. I am not seeing that however. I am seeing the consensus believe that Assad is responsible. That is my perception and like yours, it is fallible.
Seems like a big gamble for little reward but that also seems to be an increasingly effective strategy.
I'll hold out for some more facts but until then, following the money would point back at Russia.
As an aside, I wonder if Putin thinks selling out Syria may perhaps net him more favor and favorable economic advantages.

Good. I hope *your a veritable soggy mess and not making decisions that effect anyone **else life.
While *your seeking justice and vengeance, some folks prefer evidence.
P.S. Don't forget to pay your taxes.

63 hours. That is the time between the news of the chemical attack in Syria and the response from President Trump that launched 59 Tomahawk missiles into a Syrian airbase.
The 63 hour timeline.
No investigation.
No word of public support.
Essentially a knee jerk reaction.
Or was it?
John McCain:
McCain, the chairman of the influential Senate Armed Services Committee, applauded Trump and the military for sending "an important message the United States will no longer stand idly by as Assad, aided and abetted by (Vladimir) Putin’s Russia, slaughters innocent Syrians with chemical weapons and barrel bombs."

The previous Tuesday, April 4.
"I'm sure they are encouraged to know the United States is withdrawing and seeking a new arrangement with the Russians," he added. "It is another disgraceful chapter in American history and it was predictable."

Obviously not to happy with the initial administrations stance but excited over the eventual and expedient outcome.
Tillerson's stance has been fairly solid.
“There is no doubt in our minds that Syria and the regime under Bashar Assad were responsible for this attack,” Tillerson said Thursday. “It’s a serious matter; it requires a serious response,” he added when asked if military retaliation was being planned.

So where is this evidence. Will it make it to the people?
This whole thing stinks at every turn!!
Also, just for reference, if you would care to see how long it takes to make decisions based upon war crime allegations, have a peek.

People have actually being dying in Syria for quite a while now. Including babies.
People actually died in Syria. The U.S.A. responded supposedly because of the attack, from whomever, that killed those people.

The 'heads up' was for Russian troops in those bases. IF Russians had been killed, we'd be seeing a whole different scenario than we are now.
Here' a random conjecture. What if Putin is GLAD Trump reined in Assad which left his 'arrangements' with Syria totally untarnished? Trump plays the bad guy and Putin avoids the embarrassing rhetoric
Russia received from the U.S. Ambassador's speech at the Security Council.
