AFP: Pentagon 'ready' to provide military options for Syria: Mattis
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Wednesday the Pentagon is ready to provide options for a Syria strike in response to a suspected chemical attack, but noted the US and its allies are still gathering information.
"We are still assessing the intelligence, ourselves and our allies, we are still working on this," Mattis told reporters when asked if he had seen enough evidence to blame President Bashar al-Assad's regime for the alleged chemical attack in Douma.
"We stand ready to provide military options, if they're appropriate, as the president determined."
President Donald Trump vowed on Twitter that missiles would be launched at Syria following Saturday's alleged chemical attack, all but guaranteeing a military strike against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Yes, it was fake, like in 2013, 2017 ... and all months from 2012 to 2018 when clorine was used.
Pravda version 2.0
It doesn't matter what Mattis or anyone else says or thinks.
All that matters is what FOX & FRIENDS says tomorrow morning. MAGA! SAD!
They await info on whether sarin or something else
