Weve seen more video today from the gas attack in syria, its miserable viewing. Rescue workers hosing down the lifeless bodies of children trying to wash away the chemicals. Trump said he is the Basher Al Assad has changed. He said the attacks gcioss has changed. He said the attacks across a lot of lines but he didnt say what he was going to do about it and he didnt condemn russia. We will show you what doctors say is evidence that sarin gas was used. His patients have those pupils which do not react to the flashlight and that would be a common symptom of a sarin gas attack. Syria admits attacking a rabble target in the town of khan sheikhoun, but they say the bomb hit a rabble Factory Manufacturing gas. Western sources said that is not likely.
