1. Syria's Assad picked the wrong time to launch a chemical attack on civilians 

From USA TODAY: As the U.S. debated Syria pullout, the sensible action for Assad would have to been to lay low. He didn't and now the next move is up to Donald Trump.

2. The US has nothing left to gain in Syria - but much to lose 

From The Hill: "If you didn't know any better, you might have thought that President Donald Trump's strong desire to pull the roughly 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria was the beginning of a full-scale regional Armageddon of unprecedented proportions."

3. Trump needs to be more Trumpian in Syria

From The New York Times: "The right strategy could reduce those numbers further while gaining even more of that precious commodity over Iran and Russia: leverage."
