France has proof Syrian government conducted chemical weapons attack: Macron
John Irish, Sophie Louet

PARIS (Reuters) - France has proof the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack last week and will decide whether to strike back when all the necessary information has been gathered, President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday.

France is expected to join the United States and Britain in carrying out air strikes or some other form of attack in response to the use of the weapons but it remains unclear when that might happen or even if it definitely will.

Frankly, "retaliation" for the chemical attacks will accomplish next-to-nothing.

If we want to "accomplish" something, we need to cut the head of the snake off.

That means getting rid of the person who probably made the decision -- Assad.

Are we willing -- or capable -- of doing that?

Addendum:
If -we- can't do it, there's an outfit that can.
Time to call in some chits and have "the boss" of that outfit turn his guys loose!

Additionally, Mike Myers worked with French intel services to come up with this revelation about Assad...

I sure hope we won't do that without a plan ant the will to take on the aftermath.
