Comment: Use of any such weapon - biological or chemical - is abhorrent.

The UN Security Council could have been engaged. Diplomatic maneuvering of the Russians into a corner for their failure to enforce a treaty with Syria to ban such weapons would have embarrassed Putin, if that moron actually has any conscience. 

But I certainly hope that Trump did not do this to reverse his domestic flops and to boost his popularity.  To attempt to profit from this situation, in whichever manner this situation is spun by his sycophants, is equally abhorrent.
