"The United States has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children," according to a White House statement released Monday night.
"The activities are similar to preparations the regime made before its April 4, 2017 chemical weapons attack," the statement added. "As we have previously stated, the United States is in Syria to eliminate the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. If, however, Mr. Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price."

Ah, but that hardly matters. You see, bombing folks got him such good ratings last time. Brian Williams even confessed to feeling a tingle up his leg.

To be fair, he has a LONG way to go to begin to touch Obama and Bush regarding bombing folks. Heck, Obama dropped over 26,000 bombs in 2016 alone.

NOT supporting Trump here, just saying getting all riled up about it now seems a bit odd when Obama bombed the crap out of people daily, making friends like crazy...

Maybe, just maybe if everyone dropped the team mentality in politics and demanded that our government stop constant war we could accomplish something.

what bothers me more than anything is that based on centcom's statement, the white house and the military do not seem to be on the same page.

I still contend that Bashar Assad is not the problem. His brother, Maher, who runs the Republican Guard, is bat scat crazy on the other hand.

Oh, I don't disagree, and I wasn't trying to compare Trump to any previous president. Although, since you bring it up, the dramatic increase in civilian deaths under his watch is definitely a concerning trend. But with Centcom and the Pentagon voicing their confusion at this proclamation, it seems like the White House is putting this out there just for the optics.

A distraction from the health care bill, perhaps?

his whole m.o. is to fill the space with distractions like an octopus squirting ink.

No doubt. The twittersphere has also been abuzz that some pretty heavy news is about to drop. We'll see.

Trump lies so much even without any provocation, how do we really know what is going on.
