FReepers think before you open your fly-trap.
Trump is on our side, and he didn't break any promises with that strike.

Exactly, Those Tomahawks are bringing Russia and China to the table to talk and design a way to end this mess.

I read he had it checked through Israeli intelligence.

Sorry, no source. Read it in an article here.

Betrayed? Heck no! I’m pigging out on Freedom Fries, and playing Lee Greenwood on repeat! If you are against neocon foreign policy, you are a Never-Trumper.

Many are not feeling betrayed by the President, rather they may be feeling there are others trying to blind the President and steer him toward their agenda because there are still Obama holdovers and who knows what trouble these embeds can make.

As for me, I am only concerned that the intelligence presented to the President is solid, that there are no spins on it, no omissions of fact. I am only concerned that he is getting complete coverage of information or that it is readily available on demand.

If the chemical attack was staged and caused by ISIS rebels, I don’t care if the President busted up and wrecked a bunch of Syrian jets. What matters is he received the very best, the most complete, accurate, raw intelligence without compromise.

The President is allowed to bluff and trick in war. In war, he is not required to be transparent or even truthful. As long as the intelligence he receives is solid, he is free to make confusion and chaos as he sees fit to protect Americans. If the intelligence is faulty, the President can be made a fool; this is what I fear.

What happened in Syria is so clear that even if the intelligence community tried to fool him, they couldn’t do it. I think your fear is unfounded.

President Trump also has the duty to obey the Constitution.

That would include enforcing treaties we sign onto.

I listened to a bit of Savage yesterday. He was unhinged and needed to self medicate.

Now it is time to invite Assad to leave.


If you want to create another haven for terrorists, yes.

You are exactly right the neocon NeverTrumper used the Russia thing to prevent Trump from doing what he said he would do with Russia in the Middle East. I hate NeverTrump neocons with a passion.

Well what's done is done. My question is what happens the next time there is a chemical weapon attack? I have little doubt there will be a next time.

Don’t they want a pipeline there for Saudi oil?

If we follow Haley down the path of regime change, I’ll feel “betrayed.” Bloodying Assad’s nose and nothing more is fine.

Lots of president have taken military action without Congress authorizing it. I do not think that is unconstitutional, Thomas Jefferson did it with Barbary Pirates.

“In the war, she continued, there are no “good guys,” and so Trump is making a mistake by choosing sides. “This [Syria] is a tribal society, there are savages on both sides, we’re not exactly on the side of the angels here — we’re helping ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria,” she explained, highlighting a point that Trump trumpeted repeatedly as he accused Obama and Hillary of helping to create ISIS. “Nobody is good over there, but at least Assad is secular and he protects the Christians — nobody’s checked with the Christians on the ground in Syria, they’re terrified that they’re just going to be wiped out if Assad is gone.” Indeed, if Assad falls, it is very likely that what remains of Syria’s ancient Christian community would be exterminated, as occurred in Iraq after the U.S. invasion toppled Saddam Hussein.”

I agree entirely with those statements. I hope any further bombings we may conduct in Syria are limited to ISIS, al-Queda, and sundry other islamo-maniacs.

Many of President Donald Trump's staunchest supporters — the very people who put him in the White House — expressed feelings of anger and betrayal following the administration's illegal military attack on Syria.

Not me! In fact, I'm looking forward to the long deserved action on NK.............

Russia will want to have the biggest say in who replaces Assad. They’re not likely to support someone who is not willing to help them kill terrorists.

Add Laura Ingraham to that list too, she also was a strong supporter of Trump and she too is very upset over Syria.
