Mattis: 'No doubt' Assad used chemical weapons against civilians

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/11/mattis-no-doubt-assad-used-chemical-weapons-against-civilians.html

Defense Secretary James Mattis said Tuesday “there is no doubt” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime is “responsible” for gassing its own people and warned that the U.S. would respond again if Assad were to launch another chemical strike.

I was searching for an appropriate response. That'll do for now.

But smearing one of the finest men it's been my honor to work with just cause you don't like his boss - thats just no.

Knowing that General Mattis is on post gives this Marine Dad confidence that when he's told it's go time, there is a very high likelihood that the mission is legit, vital and in the nation's interest.

Still waiting for the 'thermal bomb traces' or something.  While it *may* be true Assad did this, gives Putin too much leeway to claim 'False Flag'

WH officials also counted 200 alleged CW attacks since 2013 and asses many to be credible. @sams_usa counted at least 161 in a 2016 report.

If it is causing refugees to flee, many do consider it a bigger problem than Syria.

That's been the MO lately, if one works even with Trump; to many, not all, that's reason enough to put them down in my opinion at least.

We know ISIS is using the chem weapons, especially in Mosul. 

Would be great to collect evidence of Gas in Assad's possession .  But there is not supposed to be ANY gas in Syria at all-  According to Rice, Obama and Putin .  Per the @don-o doctrine .
