Secretary Mattis: U.S. Government Not Sure Who Carried Out Chemical Attack in Syria

On Wednesday, Defense Secretary James Mattis confirmed to reporters that the United States and its allies are “still assessing the intelligence” about the alleged chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians this weekend.

In response to a question about whether U.S. military forces are “ready right now to conduct a retaliatory strike if ordered,” Mattis added: "We stand ready to provide military options if they are appropriate as the President determines.”

Mattis’s comments followed President Trump’s tweet this morning promising that missiles “will be coming” to Syria soon:

Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia,  because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

Is this the reason why the bombs haven't dropped yet.

I'm glad to have someone in the White House who isn't dropping bombs and then telling us about it after the fact......for a change.

We have no business in Syria and everything the govt' tries to spin about Assad ends up being a fabricated lie.

So nice to have someone in the White House who fires off TWEETS before FACTS.

Disinformation to entice Syria and Russia to drop their guard before firing missiles?

I did not suggest TWEETS before bombs.  I said TWEETS before FACTS.  Idle threats become nothing more than background noise.   These are serious critical issues, not only for the poor victims of these horrific attacks but for those who may feel compelled to respond in a meaningful way.
At one time the rest of the world looked to the US for leadership.
