Half expected him to come out and attack Nunes after he said the State department was his next target.

"Last week, the Trump administration accused Syrian President Bashar Assad's government of producing and using "new kinds of weapons" to deliver deadly chemicals despite committing to abolish its program in 2013. Administration officials say that the U.S. is seeking a new way to hold chemical-weapons-users accountable and wanted cooperation from Russia, Assad's patron, in pressuring him to end the attacks.

Tillerson said that the U.S. is concerned "with reports of weaponizing chlorine in particular," and other potential uses of chemical weapons on civilians, including children.

"We're examining the situation carefully," he said.

"We also have called upon Russia to fulfill its role as the guarantor of eliminating chemical weapons from the Syrian regime" and said the U.S. has called on Russia to stop vetoing U.N. resolutions needed for international investigation of such cases."

hoping to divide and rule over Venezuela. He should look at how Venezuela helped us out with all for all these years.

At University of Texas, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calls for modernizing NAFTA
FEB 1st.
While visiting his alma mater on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the North American Free Trade Agreement is due for an update.

Snip
The former ExxonMobil CEO visited his alma mater on the cusp of a weeklong swing through Latin America.
He heads Thursday evening to Mexico, and then on to Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Jamaica.

The State Department has said the trip is centered on the “crisis in Venezuela,” where the United States has imposed financial sanctions in an attempt to spur democratic change.
But many are more focused on Tillerson's visit to Mexico and its potential impact on ongoing debate over NAFTA.

What a noble, democratic thing to do!

And after the warning, said, "Where's the money for the wall?"
