US Threatens to Take Action if UN Doesn’t Properly Respond to Syrian Chemical Attacks

The United States may be in the midst of a political upheaval, but the story in Syria has remained the same for several years. Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is still gassing his own people and watching as they die in the streets.
