Apologies for bringing up the Stria issue but its getting to the point of outrage. A recent statement by John Kerry:
"All of us agree, not one dissenter, that Assad's deplorable use of chemical weapons, which we know killed hundreds of innocent people, including at least 426 children on this occasion, this one occasion, this crosses an international, global, red line. We agree that the regime's blatant disreguard to the institutional norms that the global commmunity has abided by for nearly a century, it is critical that those be upheld."
"All of us agree, not one dissenter, that Assad's deplorable use of chemical weapons..."
This is being presented continually as fact despite constant failure to present any evidence to support it.
"...which we know killed hundreds of innocent people, including at least 426 children on this occasion..."
Again, presented as fact despite no evidence presented to support the figure and it conflicts with figures from independent health agencies working in Syria.
"...We agree that the regime's blatant disreguard to the institutional norms..."
Who agrees? The world is waiting for evidence before jumping to conclusions.
"...that the global commmunity has abided by for nearly a century, it is critical that those be upheld."
The greatest piece of hypocrisy so far considering events like agent orange in Vietnam and so far only one county in the world has used nuclear weapons.
This bullshit is getting way out of hand, the lies keep getting obscured by further layers of lies until they get accepted as truths. This madness must be stopped, the crazed bloodlust of an out of control superpower cannot be allowed to be in contempt of international law and evidence must be presented.

Assuming evidence is existing, a punitive military strike is justified, IF and ONLY IF, real proof exists, that links the Assad regime to the chemical weapons attack in Syria. On a side note, you spelled Syria Stria, in your opening line.
