You should suggest Obama did nothing after Assad used CW. That's simply not true
-
I never said he did nothing. I said he didn't enforce his red line.

Fact: After Assad gave up his chem weapons, such incidents were very limited. 5 days after Tillerson gave Assad a free pass, mass death.
-
When it comes to WMD, "limited" isn't limited. Btw I'm not letting this admin off hook - far from it.
-
So what was the policy response that would have ensured Assad never again used CW?
-
Military force, most likely. But my argument isn't that Obama didn't use it, it's that he said he would & didn't.
-
Getting rid of most all of that WMD without further destabilizing the region by using military farce against Assad was a darn good deal.
-
That's a different argument. You might be right but that wasn't the point of debate.
-
The point of the debate appears to be helping Trump blame Obama for what Trump's administration green-lighted.
-
That certainly wasn't my point. My analysis has been very critical of the Trump admin on that front.

The media's rank incapability of using basic logic, or to understand cause and effect, is astonishing.

This is twitter cute. Fact: Assad stopped CW use after red line was called out, restarted when new admin indicated don't care. You guess?

Whatever Obama's policies were toward Assad, and they were not friendly, they are no longer operative.

And, more importantly, even if Obama had bombed Assad, he's no longer in office. Trump admin gave Assad the green light. It's Trump's fault
