Much attention was paid to #Trump’s desire to withdraw troops from #Syria, but tonight’s CW attack in #Douma relates to an *entirely* different area of U.S. policy.
There is *agreement* in the White House than a “mass casualty chemical attack” *would* be grounds for action.pic.twitter.com/XlC7YQuTak

Notorious
#Assad regime supporter Hossein Mortada, hours before tonight’s#Douma CW attack, said bombing of the area was only an “appetizer” for what was soon to come - the real surprise would reveal itself later in the day… (Via@Qattouby)https://twitter.com/HoseinMortada/status/982582933973282817 …

#Syria sources increasingly judging tonight’s CW attack in#Douma to have involved Sarin - possibly combined with chlorine. Death toll now 55+ (some reports say 180), with 1,000+ others needing treatment. In total numbers affected, already worse than Khan Sheikhoun April ’17.pic.twitter.com/IS7ouU5BhC

More & more bodies being discovered in
#Douma - expect death toll to rise further. New footage is also emerging showing fatalities occurred not just underground, but above ground - suggesting potent chlorine (which sinks) is now a less likely culprit. Key 24hrs ahead.pic.twitter.com/nHljJrldef

I’m told the White House is close to a decision on whether to hit
#Syria after last night’s#Douma CW attack. Principals meeting (incl.#Bolton) tonight will be presented w. an expansive list of potential targets; mostly military, intel & suspected munitions & CW infrastructure.pic.twitter.com/1weN7gTbS8

#Israel launched a series of airstrikes on#Syria’s strategic T4/Tiyas airbase in#Homs overnight, using jets that flew over southern#Lebanon - targets hit were both Syrian & Iranian. IAF hit last T4 in Feb, after F-16 downing. 12 fatalities reported.#Russia forces unscathed.pic.twitter.com/27sSkvFHLg

Interesting point -
#Trump’s cruise missile strike on Shayrat AB in April 2017 almost totally stopped CW attacks in#Syria for 6 months. *Very* small number of non-fatal attacks reported in the 1/2 year that followed - CW attacks resumed in-full in Jan 2018. (Image via@hrw)pic.twitter.com/CaAxGhkxjp
