#1 Valerie drew the line there...

As he said, it would only change his thinking. Line will be redrawn. A few times, maybe more.

#2 Enormous consequences? Not nearly as big as for the people on the ground in Syria who get exposed to mustard gas or nerve agents. How exactly do they plan to clean up that cr**?? That scenario gives whole new meaning to the word MESS in the Middle East.

By the time US forces show up - chem agents would have been released. What exactly are our guys supposed to do? Why should we even risk exposing anyone?? It hardly seems to be worth the risks to our own troops.
