    As usual, Obama pretends the US is the world police but it is no more than a thug cop.

    - Why does the use of chemical weapons cross a line but US saw no moral obligation to intervene for two years while 100,000 Syrians were slaughtered?
    - How come Saddam was not punished but helped when he used chemical weapons against Iranians in the 1980s?

    - Was it not the US that bombed Iraqis with depleted uranium in 2004? (Iraqis noted a 38-fold increase in Leukemia between 2005-9 as compared to 17-fold increase among the survivors of Hiroshima. Some researchers assert that children born to male veterans of the Gulf War were twice as likely to have a birth defect as compared to non-deployed veterans.)
    - Was it not the US that sprayed nearly 20 million gallons of Agent Orange as a part of chemical warfare over Vietnam from 1961-72?
    - Was it not the US that used white phosphorous in Afghanistan as recently as 2009?

    And dare we say Hiroshima and how many Americans still defend that atrocity?
