@DavidMDrucker says Obama didn't enforce red line on Syria. It was threat of US mil force that caused Assad to give up CW ...

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.
-
Well. short of outright killing Assad, there wasn't Much Obama could have done to stop ~this~ attack from happening. That's MY point.
-
That might be case. I'll entertain that. My argument was specific to the red line, which we're twitter argued to death but just to be clear
