I do, Obama tried to get International back up, he asked us but there just was not enough appetite at the time and our parliament voted military action down, remember Daves response, 'I get that and the government will act accordingly.'
It was at a time when people were still reeling about the illegal Iraq war. I don't think Obama wanted to be seen to go to war with Assad and or provoke the Russians alone. In all honesty I just don't think he had the balls because you can't draw a line and then not act when it is crossed and I really don't think he did not act because he was more concerned with what billionaire citizen Trump was saying on Twitter at the time.
