Good summary of points. Now let the President’s people make that case in the next 3 days.

So you’re saying what many other credible persons are saying that Hassad did NOT use Sarin gas but that it doesn’t matter. What matters is the world better pay attention.

I’d like to see that same tack used in and around Wash DC as well.

I thought the intelligence was a lot stronger on this board.

The board was bled white getting Trump elected.

I am highly disappointed in President Trump following the same meddlesome policies as the Obama/Bush/Clinton regime. Assad is not a good guy, but he is not a supporter of Islamic terrorism. Under his rule, Christians are not persecuted. His opponents support terrorism and murder Christians.

In the same way that Sadaam Hussein, as bad as he was, was not as bad as what we left in his place.

Let's be honest - those people need a strongman as leader.

Their religious fanaticism is not compatible with a free and democratic society and political system.

In Iraq, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden etc. we can plainly see how irresponsible, uncivil and vicious they are when they do not have strong leadership to define and enforce behavioral boundaries.

Now, if any of our intelligence analysts misled Trump with false or faulty intel on the gas attack and Trump gets to fire the lot of them, then that completes the hat trick for the total win

I don't weep for the muslims in the middle east living under harsh dictatorships, theirs is a people that seem to crave as much. Religious leaders are oppressive, secular leaders are oppressibe, there are no "good" leaders amongst middle easter muslim peoples.

But gassing civilians is a bridge too far for me. I think Trump threaded the needle well here, frankly. People here are acting like Trump invaded or something and the seas are going to run red with American blood. He sent no troops, no promises of extra presence, none of that. He responded swiftly and harshly and now it's over. Issue is past now and Assad will likely not be doing this again. Back to the way it was before Assad tickled the tiger.

More pieces start to fall in line. Just seen on Twitter from Bibi: “Israel hopes this resolve in face of the Assad regime’s horrific actions resonates not only in Damascus but in Tehran, Pyongyang & elsewhere”.

You have to wonder if Trump had conversations with Israel about what was going to happen. Adds strength to the ME in that you can count on USA and President Trump.

What a day - from Senate confirmation, healthcare talks, meeting with President of China and now this. WOW. Wonder what tomorrow brings. MAGA

Are you certain you know who is responsible for the gassing episode?

I support President Trump 100 percent. He did what needed to be done, as well as sending a message to many bad actors out there. But then again I am sure as hell not a Ron or Rand Paul supporter or a millennial, so that may have something to do with it. All of this doom and gloom talk about Trump I have witnessed here, there and everywhere all over the mainstream media for nearly 2 years now. It never works. The Donald always comes out on top.

Suicide By Trump

This seems to have been written before the attacks but other than an apparently wrong guess about what Trump would do, I think the reasoning is better than that of anyone else out there, excepting maybe Trump. Trump knows.

Trump has some Guts!
America will now be respected for its red lines again ! Gone are the empty words if Obama.

Many here think Assad is a good guy because he fights Sunnie Isis...
However why are few complaining here that Assad is allied to the Shia Islamic Republic if Iran and their Hesbollah forces !

Assad is just a smokescreen covering up for the Iranian Islamists.
Iran will soon have the atomic bomb. On the other hand Isis have no atomic weapons at all... so... who is more dangerous Isis? or the Islamic Republic if Iran? Because of the atomic bomb, Iran is the most dangerous Islamic institution on earth. The second most dangerous Islamic group is Isis, because they have no atomic weapons program.

But we must fight ALL Islamists, i don’t care if they have atomic weapons or not!

So have we become the air wing for Isis and al queda now?

if Assad did use chemical weapons, and that's a big IF, how is that somehow worse than conventional weapons or Isis beheading and crucifying Christians, burning people alive, drowning them? Not understanding this at all.

Now they're parroting soetoro's line about regime change.

No one to step in there but Isis or Turkey.

Are we ready to go to war with Russia and Iran?

It’s British expression. It’s when a soccer player scores a goal for the other team.

The attack was measured, proportional, and demonstrates that additional action can be taken to stop the use of chemical weapons by Assad in Syria. And by attacking the air base where the crimes were perpetrated Trump shows his rhetoric will be matched by calibrated action. I know this upsets many on this site, but the alternative was to act like Obama.
