Wait a minute - the French president Macron has proof of the chemical attack. Of course, he doesn't give the source of this new information. Last year Macron criticised Obama for not following through on the "red line". Macron has been looking to project an image of strength - and probably display their latest arms. The French president is credited in France as being the only world leader who can handle Trump. "He knows we have planes in the Middle east ready to strike". Macron, himself, is facing general unrest at home and really needs a distraction but is super wary of it being the new Libya. Although Macron is looking to be the US main ally there is still considerable pressure within the country for a diplomatic solution.
