Sarin gas is considered a Weapon of Mass Destruction. It's colorless and odourless and is extremely lethal even at very low concentrations. It kills you in less than 1 minute. If you inhale it, you suffocate because it causes muscle paralysis in your lungs. The attack in Syria was intentional and killed over 1000 people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin
President Clinton did not order an "all-out military assault". The 51 day standoff ended when the FBI used tear gas to get the Davidians's out. A FIRE killed 76 or so people, not the gas. The intention was to end the standoff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege
Comparing that actions of Clinton during Waco to Assad (or whoever is responsible for the gas attacks) in Syria way off base.
Instead of trying to blame Clinton for anything close to what is going on now, consider Ronald Reagan. He & Rumsfeld sold Chemical weapons to Iraq during the Iran - Iraq war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...211;Ira q_war

You need to read the whole thread
Congress came to the conclusion that using CS gas in a confined area when children were present was well, FUCKED UP.
I never compared Sarin gas to CS gas, what I did say is using CS gas in a confined area with children involved is not something our country should ever do and I stand by that.
The conclusion of the Cato institute and the conclusion of congress was that the tactics that the ATF and FBI are largely responsible for the deaths of many of the Branch Davidians. By breaking down walls and blocking escape of many of the Davidians and disorientating them with CS gas lead to there deaths
It's pretty simple to me because of my training on a Submarine. If you are in a closed area, even the use of a sponge is not permitted because they give off fumes and what ever is in a closed space in the air is what you breathe. So using mass amounts of CS gas, more than any other conflict in US history on US citizens is the work of idiots that didn't care about human life!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
