Independent investigation into Syrian chemical attack supported by US

I have been watching the Press Conference between Lavrov and Tillerson and have heard from Lavrov that there is a willingness on the part of the American government to pursue an independent investigation headed by the UN into the chemical attack in Syria.

The likely benefits and results of such an investigation are likely to be staggering. Should it prove conclusive that the rebels left chemical weapons there, it would force the western world to support Assad against the Syrian rebels.

If this has been Trump's intention all along, it couldn't be more genius: first, it proves that Trump is not a subservient to Russia. Second, it temporarily gives into the neocon outrage of Assad. Third, it will likely prove Assad's innocence, forcing Trump to apologize, and forcing the western world to support Assad against the rebels.

Has this been all staged by America and Russia to get the critics off their backs? Quite possibly. Time will tell, but I am very optimistic.
