The end of Kerry’s statement on Chemical Weapons in Syria:

"President Obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people," Kerry said. "Nothing today is more serious, and nothing is receiving more serious scrutiny."

Well, what about the US forces use of CWs in Fallujah, Iraq?

WARNING
The video contains images that depict the reality and horror of war. It should only be viewed by a mature audience.

So, shouldn't there be accountability for the US? How long do we want to accept this double standard?
The US military used CWs - proven! - and no one is to be blamed.
But Syrian citizans are to be punished for the use of CWs - totally unproven to be used by their military but way more likely used by the terrorizing aggressors?
