Also, please report back when you have proof that Assad commited the chemical attack. We still don't have evidence that he did it from the last time we bombed him.

French analysts examined photos taken in two locations that depicted the following symptoms consistent with a chemical attack
Suffocation or breathing difficulties,
Mentions of a strong chlorine odor and presence of green smoke in the areas affected,
Extreme salivation and secretions from the mouth and nose
Cyanosis, or blue coloration of the skin due to poor oxygen flow.
Burns to the skin and cornea.
"No deaths from mechanical injuries were visible," the report said. "All of these symptoms are characteristic of a chemical weapons attack, particularly choking agents and organophosphorus agents or hydrocyanic acid."
France's conclusions were supported by Trump administration officials Saturday afternoon who determined that both chlorine and sarin, a highly toxic nerve agent, were used on the civilians by the forces under Assad in the April 7 attack.
Their findings were based on first-hand accounts of military helicopters releasing barrel bombs, evidence of features and markings of the bombs consistent with those Syrian forces used in previous attacks, and photos and videos of victims exhibiting the effects of chemical exposure such as foaming at the mouth, said the officials who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
