    Susan Rice on Syrian Chemical Weapons this January...

    Interviewer: Obama articulated this red line that Syrian President Bashar Assad could not cross, and then he used chemical weapons and the U.S. did not respond.

    Susan Rice: We were able to find a solution that didn't necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished. Our aim in contemplating the use of force following the use of chemical weapons in August of 2013 was not to intervene in the civil war, not to become involved in the combat between Assad and the opposition, but to deal with the threat of chemical weapons by virtue of the diplomacy that we did with Russia and with the Security Council. We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.

    Will you at least entertain the thought that the attack maybe didn't come from the gov't.

    Would not be the first time or the last the us has gone to war under false pretenses

    We know that Saddam has WMD.
    Did it come from the government, most likely yes. But what is the uupside to assad using chemical weapons at this point in a war he is clearly winning and doesn't needs to use them.

    If there is concrete evidence that it was assad and he has a well thought out plan for long term peace. Bring it to congress and debate it

    Who cares if it did or didn't We took out an airfield that was being used to bomb civilians.

    Where's the downside?
