1) What do tyrants gain from using chemical weapons? They do do it. Saddam did and Assad has too. Perhaps they're trying to terrorize the civilian elements their domestic enemies are drawn from pushing them out of the country. Sunnis in Syria, Kurds and Shiite Arabs in Iraq.

2) What Democrats would be drawing him into Syria .... those he's appointed? At any rate, the President is in charge of his administration. His party, which supported him in the election, control both Houses of Congress. The President is responsible for his decisions what they are. See #3 coming up.

3) Trump considering military action in Syria John Minchillo / AP When President Trump was asked yesterday if he'd change his Syria policy after a chemical attack by Bashar al-Assad on Syrian civilians, his response was cryptic: "you'll see." Now, Trump has told some senior members of Congress that he's considering military action in Syria as retaliation for the attack, per CNN. Nothing is set in stone and no decisions have been made, but Trump is reportedly leaning on Defense Secretary James Mattis regarding any potential action. On Wednesday, Trump said his attitude toward Assad had changed, adding that the attack, which killed at least 70 civilians, "crossed a lot of lines for me. When you kill innocent children... that crosses many, many lines beyond a red line." FEATUREDThe Syria strike plan that Mattis will present to Trump Joel Auerbach / AP Defense Secretary James Mattis will present President Trump with plans prepared by U.S. Central Command for a "saturation strike" on Syrian military targets tonight at Mar-a-Lago, per The Intercept. What that means: The U.S. would launch dozens of Tomahawk missiles at Syrian military targets to overwhelm their Russian-bolstered defense systems and cripple Syrian air capability against rebel forces, military sources told the Intercept.The big risk: The saturation strike would almost certainly result in Russian deaths, which is the "sticking point" for Mattis. The risk of Russian casualties — plus the location of Syrian air defenses in densely populated areas — were big reasons why the Obama administration never went forward with such a plan. axios.com
