8. Great...so ISIS can seize them if we "take out" Assad? Do people think beyond their own noses?

I have zero confidence in the claim that Assad did this (yes he is capable of it but the timing is insanely suspicious right as Tillerson goes to Russia and Trump was plummeting b/c of the Russia investigations) -- we are certainly capable of claiming a false flag attack AND/OR it is possible Russia was involved. Also, don't forget that Syria is dealing with a brutal civil war with the likes of ISIS. How stable and reliable do think the intelligence is when this event supposedly happened like two days ago?! And Trump just started caring about "beautiful babies" from Syria? This is ridiculous. Sorry.
