On August 21, 2013, as many as 1,400
Syrians died after the use of chemical weapons in the rebel-held Damascus
suburb of Eastern Ghouta. The perpetrator of this crime against humanity,
according to the Obama Administration, was none other than the Syrian government.
The Assad regime had crossed Obama’s “red line” by using sarin gas to eradicate

United States Armed Forces for a massive knockout blow that would have deprived
Assad of virtually all his military assets. The Syrian rebels were already at

morning, September 2, 2013, would guarantee them victory.
