Reported elsewhere, eg http://komnews.org/all-groups-in-syria-with-chemical-weapons-should-be-targeted-pyd-co-leader/, http://waarmedia.com/english/salih-muslim-groups-syria-chemical-weapons-targeted/
I think he is just trying to be consistent. As the main beneficiary, and active ally, of 2.5 years of 8000 US air strikes in Syria against ISIS, a mere mouse compared to the Assad hyena, and Nusra, a mere flea, resulting in over a thousand civilian deaths, Salih Muslim's PYD would sure look funny only complaining when the US finally made a strike against an Assad air base, killing no civilians. Clearly he doesn't want to look as silly as so many western leftists and "anti"-war folk, who apparently think US bombing of Syria began a few days ago.
But adding that the US should bomb the rebels too (as if the US hasn't already bombed plenty of rebels plenty of times long before the one strike on Assad) really is a new low for this guy. Probably better for SA to just say in this case you disagree with him (gulp!), much as you like his movement overall. Try it. You'll find it not as hard as you expect.

I looked at the Voice of America website to try to find the interview from which extracts are quoted in this article. However I was unable to find the interview.
Rudaw has a history of misrepresenting the views of Salih Muslim. For example, see the comments following this article: links.org.au/node/4679
