merican airstrikes against ISIS targets are under way in Syria, according to a Pentagon official.

"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said.

"Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."

Illegal.

Congress did not ever authorize any President to attack Syria.

Why are Freepers cheering this!?!?!?

Congessdouche Peter King has become a goose-stepping Democrat (as if he wasn’t) now he says NOBODY should question the commander in chief at this time.

Can't blow the whole wad at once. Have to wait till closer to Nov 4 to get the additional details.

All this does is further radicalize other elements. That’s all intervention in the Mideast ever does.

"I don’t like the WH but ISIS is the devil incarnate, nastiest thing to come along in a long while."

How is that justification for attacking Syria (obviously I know the terrorists live there)...is there some vital US interest at stake?
