WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said a suspected chemical attack by the Assad regime was “a terrible affront to humanity” that changed his mind about the Syrian strongman, signaling a more aggressive U.S. policy toward Syria.

Mr. Trump didn’t elaborate on how his administration would respond to the latest attack, which killed at least 85 people, but said it made him re-evaluate his approach to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

An NPR report on the story stated that according to the autopsies conducted, it was determined that Assad was responsible.

WTF??????????????????

Good point, thank you. This is the policy that was source of"Hillary will cause WWIII" wasn't it? Will that same accusation now be leveled at Trump?

Unfortunately, that hasn't happened since WWII.

Trump is a non-interventionist /sarc lmao. To quote my favorite senator... "The more things change, the more things stay the same."

Trump got castrated by the MIC and the NEOCONS are running the show.... as always. If Trump is on board with attacking Syria absent constitutional authority or congressional authorization, then everyone on these forums who swore up and down about Trump's dovish bona fides needs to go play in traffic.

This is a massive coordinated effort by the MIC/NEOCONS for regime change.... every network, all day. No one is even asking the question about if it WAS Assad that used chemical attack. They are just running with it. Ron Paul is right on this is a false flag and Trump bought it hook line and sinker. Russia will not stand for ousting Assad.

If this ramps up, I hope your nuclear fallout shelters are well provisioned, folks.

You are way too generous to Trump. I think there has been more evidence that he was a warmonger than a non interventionist. The MIC did not castrate Trump, he was already castrated and subservient to the MIC before they came to him. Remember, that he supported the war in Iraq in the late 1990s before the world trade center was attacked. The media and some useful idiots helped create this image of his being anti war and moderate on Russia and that is it just a false image.

He is the same man that supported all the wars in the middle east before he started running for president(after Obama got elected), this is the same man that was best buddies with Bush and the Clintons. He is the man that wanted to execute Snowden because he revealed US spying on its citizens and now he wants to bitch and whine that Obama is spying him.

I disagree with marcorubio about the need for US involvement in regime change.

Jordan flies F-16s already . . . it is being called a "pivot"
so it does seem Congress will be needed especially on what the pivot is exactly going to.

I listened to what Trump said, I didn't hear a pivot, but I do see fake news discussing a manufactured pivot.

This is probably fake news, because Tex Drillerson answers to the POTUS, who posted this in 2013:

[silverhandorder]

I don't discount troops. I would be very surprised if we are in the shooting war with Syria + Russia.

I can see US support to Kurds vs rebels or ISIS.

playing more games over gas attacks may be something you enjoy, but frankly, i don't give a $#@! who is doing this crap, it has to stop. Gas attacks are hideous, and a MESSAGE has to be sent now.

"pivot" might imply a 180 degree change . . . I admit I never heard that from either of them,
except maybe (?) King of Jordan slipping in something about US doing alot more or the "most" - I dunno.

YEAH! WE HAVE TO SEND A MESSAGE!!! $#@! CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS, THE WAR POWERS ACT, AND CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION.... $#@! PROOF THAT ASSAD DID IT!!! WE JUST NEED TO BOMB SOMEONE AND SEND A MESSAGE THAT THIS STUFF WONT BE TOLERATED!!!!

I assume you were pounding the table for Obama to attack Syria as well in 2013.

What Trump is doing here is making it clear he is against such atrocities.

I think what we will see is that over time it will become more clear that Assad was not responsible, I don't think we will see Trump go for regime change.
