Statement from leaders of all G7 countries except Japan, via White House --
... strongly condemn the Syrian regime's attacks that have devastated civilians and medical facilities and use of barrel bombs and chemical weapons.
From President Obama's speech in Tampa yesterday defending his counterterrorism policies --
We’ve eliminated Syria’s declared chemical weapons program.
The truth of that sentence hinges on the word "declared" and its substance is undermined by the accurate description of the situation in today's "G6" statement.
Incidentally, this Reuters story explains how the Iraqi government assault on Mosul was reworked on Iranian advice to use the same tactics as Aleppo, i.e, a complete cutoff of all escape routes from the city. The US government is supporting the Mosul assault.
