“Trump Blames Syrian Attack on Obama for Not Sticking to his ‘Red Line’”
Obama drew a red line with Syria in 2012 but did nothing substantial after chemical attacks occurred.
On Tuesday, almost 60 people died in Syria after warplanes dropped bombs filled with chemicals. The number includes women and children. Many suspect President Bashar al-Assad’s regime for the attack.
President Donald Trump condemned the attack, but also ripped into former President Barack Obama for not sticking to his “red line” on Syria”

Obama’s failure to follow through on his threat is dramatic evidence of what happens when a U.S. president puts his enormous power and prestige on the line in threatening military action if a red line is crossed. Assad crossed that line in 2012, and he got away scot-free. As a consequence of Obama’s failure, Assad continued to use chemical weapons against rebel-sympathizing civilians.
No better illustration of what happens when a president loses credibility can be found in recent history.
The left can wail and howl all they want. Trump is absolutely, 100% correct. The chemical attack this week is a direct result of President Obama’s appalling weakness in the face of clear and unmistakable violations of international law and common decency. Every one of those casualties in Idib province owes his suffering to the former American president.
And Trump was right to call him out for it.”
