"Tell me you don't see the problem."

It's as plain as the nose on your face. The problem is you are willing to give an indicted war criminal  the benefit of the doubt vis-a-vis the responsibility for babies gassed to death and then strongly imply that the U.S. government knows Assad was not responsible but bombed the air field anyway so as to boost Trump's popularity. 
So far no one in the U.S. government has 'spilled the beans' and Assad should sue for slander.
