Do you actually believe that Assad used chemical weapon on his people, knowing​ the bad press and the threats that would follow? That's kind of stupid

Just five days before the attack, US secretary of state Rex Tillerson said, “The longer-term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people,” implying a definite shift in US foreign policy.
Why would Assad put such assurances in jeopardy by launching a horrific chemical attack, allowing establishment news outlets like CNN to once again use children as props to push for yet another massive war in the Middle East?

@HijabbaDabbaDoo: As far as I can tell, every foreign policy pronouncement this year emanating from the Presidency and the State Department, has been generated by a random-word selector, and contains absolutely zero information or significance, or predictability of future actions.
