Tillerson's comment last week that essentially gave Assad a green light. That is suspicious.

Looking at the timeline. It stinks.

Tillerson: Hands off Syria

Assad: Chemical weapons, possibly with help of Russia

Tillerson and Trump: Poor suffering babies. Regime change

Trump: Bombs

Journalists: Russia, Syria, Iran warned.
