Sen. Lindsey Graham: U.S. airstrikes on Syria show ‘there’s a new sheriff in town’
The Washington Times ^ | April 9, 2017 | Valerie Richardson

Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that the U.S. airstrikes on Syria demonstrate that, after eight years of President Barack Obama, “there’s a new sheriff in town.”

The South Carolina Republican applauded President Trump’s decision to send Tomahawk cruise missiles last week to bomb the Shayrat Airfield in Syria, which launched chemical attacks April 4 that left as many as 80 civilians dead.

“I’m glad Trump did this,” Mr. Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “He is no longer Obama in the eyes of our enemies, but he needs to do more to close the deal. There’s a new sheriff in town

Trump wanted to people he could trust in these positions.

Ivanka and Jared are fine by me. We won’t agree on some things, but then they’re not the president.

Kirshner and Ivanka are to top notch people.

Do we trust Trump or not? I do or I wouldn’t have voted for him.

Agreed. We aren’t in John Wayne or Gary Cooper territory.

I agree about trusted people. But Ivanka as a foreign policy advisor, or coming in on who we bomb is retarded. Might as well ask any 35 year old woman in retail and real estate.

If you were armed in an isolated area and a woman was being assaulted, would you step in even though there was no threat to you?

That’s essentially what Trump did. I’m fine with it.

Do we care about our fellow man or not?

What kind of people are we if we have a means to stop the use of banned chemical weapons, and don’t?

Me too. I fear that Trump may have triggered World War 3 by taking sides against the Russians in an all-around bad guys conflict. And yes, I have lived there. May God help us!

I don’t think he’s planning a full invasion of Syria.

Ivanka was a top executive at his company. He trusts her judgment.

Any 35 year old woman in retail or real estate? Trump’s organization was a top end enterprise. His kids were executives there. Yes, they were brought in because of who ‘the boss’ was, but they had to perform and did.

Over and over and over and over and over again, I read folks stating how terrible Ivanka and Jared are.

I trust Trump. He trusts them.

Please tell me three things each have done that came into being and is terrible related to our government.

Can you make a list of the things that Jared has accomplished? I’ve asked for this in another thread, and the Kushner PR squad just wants me to shut up. Jared went to Harvard despite a mediocre academic record, but his convict daddy made a big donation. He does big business with Soros. His wife hangs with Cecile Richards. Can you tell me something good about Jared?

“I think gas attack and Pres Trump credibility as a leader was at stake.”

Exactly. It was a measured response, but forceful. No American lives were put at risk in the standoff attack w cruise missiles.

It sent a message to Syria, Russia and China, as it happened while Xi was at the White House. A nice little payback for the Chinese stranding Obozo on his AF 1 in China.

This has been played perfectly by Trump....on all accounts. It show limp wristed Obama is gone and America is back.

You notice how everyone’s tone started to change after Trump showed the wiretapping evidence to the Congressional Delegation? I think Trump has a lot of Leverage now.

You have craftily told me of his associations without telling me one single thing he has done wrong.

Nice work.

This morning I made one comment about it related to the...

...religion cult of peace pieces.

What is there to say? It's more of the same thing. We all detest it.
