    Al Nusra front, main anti-Assad force in Syria, main beneficiary of US attacks on Assad, is indeed an Al Qaeda affiliate. It *is* bizarre.https://twitter.com/VickyNewham/status/850963832390512640 …

        That's why the attack was more symbolic than destructive. Message delivered around the world, with no debasement of Syrian forces.

        Sarin or no sarin, US needed to show to all that the game has changed. That threat allows diplomacy more breathing room.

        No-one in the media seems to mention what kind of country Syria will be if Assad falls. Al Nusra have been killing christians, Kurds, etc.

        If anyone thinks Al Nusra front running Syria will be in anyway better than Assad, then they will be in for a shock. It will be much worse.

        you make a good argument saying it was not in assad best interest to gas anyone. but there is another player that benefits - Iran.

        How does Iran benefit? Assad is a regional ally, when he falls they'll all turn on Iran next.
