Now Trump is colluding with Britain and France! Oh the humanity.
Terrible. Bombing Damascus right now. Innocent Syrian civilians will perish. Imagine what will happen should a bird get shot down! Not impossible and would lead to a serious conflict.
Innocent Syrians already have—scores of them.
This is a multinational response to the Syrian government gassing to death innocent Syrian civilians. Unlike the Syrian government’s apparently deliberate targeting of civilians, the US and our allies are doing all they can to avoid civilian deaths - as we always do.
Will punishing Assad lead to a decrease in violence, death, and destruction? Logic suggests it will have the opposite effect. This will not help the Syrian people.
It might prevent Assad from killing more of his country’s people with chemical weapons.
Well, it will be more helpful than being on his team...you know, helping gas and bomb his own people like the Iranians are doing.
40 allegedly died in that incident. How many hundreds of thousands of civilians died over the course of the Syrian conflict? Continuation of the conflict is not in anyone's interest.
No issue? Where is the UN authorization? Where is the proof of who committed this atrocity? Why do we strike today when the independent experts are arriving on scene tomorrow. That's absolutely despicable. It's a replica of Iraq.
Even if Assad committed these atrocities, the sad reality is that doing nothing was probably the best course of action. So we punish Assad tonight, but how many needless deaths will result from allowing this conflict to fester? The rebels and their families fled Douma on buses, and Assad was finishing his mop up. And now, what happens?
UN authorization? Are you serious? How in the world would that ever happen given that Assad is so far up Putin’s butt he can smell the Volga?

Did not Russia veto a U.N. investigation? You had mentioned the Brits backing off, they must have changed their mind?
Anyway, Cohen news put on the shelf.
Mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished.
We voted against 2 UN resolutions as well. Why could we not wait to allow the independent experts investigate TOMORROW??
We have France and Britain on board. Germans, Dutch, others, said way too fast. Not enough evidence. Just as in Iraq, experts about to investigate and we act without conclusive evidence.
Allegedly 40 lives lost in that attack. 300-400THOUSAND civilians dead over the course of the Syrian conflict. Yup, let's extend this ad infinitum.
Uh oh...Hoosier_Hack is going to have to change his avatar of giving the Eiffel Tower the finger. Guess France is right with us on this.
I bet he doesnt even realised it was French.
Vegas baybee!
I do not know what intel we have, you may be correct. But this last attack is hardly the first chemical attack in Syria. I guess the rebels could have gassed themselves dozens of times?
He is a strong, tough guy -- viagra hard or that's celluloid image he likes to portray.
James Mattis opposed tonight's actions according to BBC North America. Overuled by Trump and Bolton. Non-military demanding military options that military is opposed to is a recipe for disaster.
You have just forgotten what competent folks are like after 15months of crapola.
True but the decisions are reasonable. Tax reform, deregulation, NAFTA, TPP NATO, Russian sanctions and a willingness to meet with North Korea. This is a very different Presidency than we have ever seem. I think collusion is in the rearview mirror.
What you think of the President has nothing to do with our military Officers Corps.
Boots on the ground now?
Again, you’ve lost your mind Toast.
You want a war stopped without anybody using military force or impacting civilians.
Mind.
Lost.
“Sprinkle victory dust and dance the happy dance!”
Guess a tweeting twit should be believed over what the SecDef is saying at this moment and over what the actual strike appears to be. Thanks fir relaying the twit’s tweet.
Hahaha! I think you're right! He can go to Paris, Egypt, Venice, and Rome all in one day! It's exactly the same, but better because it's 'Murican.
I think Trump is a despicable human, but I can’t disagree with everything he’s done or agree with everything. Some I’m good with, some I’m not.
So Bolton has more pull than Mattis on military decisions. That is absolutely frightening.
