Rumors heard that Sen. Graham was rushed to the hospital early this morning after the bombing due to an erection lasting more than four hours.
Right as usual Diogenesis. I HATE this creature who supposedly represents me in SC? I think not.
“But I fear that when the dust settles this strike will be seen as a weak military response and Assad will have paid a small price for using chemical weapons yet again.”
Shut up Linda.
Little Lindsay is still beating the war drums. I guess he wants to keep that Saudi and Chamber of Commerce open-borders money flowing to him.
McCain prefers war.
Absolutely no one cares what Linda has to say about anything.
Graham takes it too far. Yes, I think we should whack Assad for using chem weapons, and, yes I think we should support the Kurds, as after all they’ve sacrificed the most to (mostly) defang ISIS, and we will need them to keep ISIS that way.
However, we do not need to confront Russia directly. Let Syria become another Afghanistan for them. The Saudis will help keep Assad busy, and the Israelis have a role too.
“President Trump deserves credit for working with our allies and ordering this strike against Assad. He is a ruthless butcher who has murdered hundreds of thousands of Syrians and should be considered a war criminal.”
CNN:
Lindsay Graham calls President Trump “a ruthless butcher” and “war criminal”!
(umm... needless to say, /s).
Good, now give us Trump’s judges and ALL will be forgiven, at least by me.
Guess Linda is looking for a massive nuclear response and the end of the world as we know it.
Very, very macho for our twinkling little drama queen.
Sit down and have a cold lemonade, Lindsay.
So tell us all Linda what you thought when Illary and Barry killed off Kaddafi and then used the CIA to smuggle the weapons out of Libya into Syria that helped create this mess?
Lol!
One of the “ secret” chemical weapons facilities bombed last night
Visited twice by OPCW
https://www.opcw.org/fileadmin/OPCW/Fact_Finding_Mission/s-1445-2016_e_.pdf
If we suspect secret CW facilities we have the right ( obligation) to demand OPCW inspection, and Syria has an obligation to comply - or then face sanctions
When was this ever done?

The U.S. Naval Institute article titled “Senators Quiz Military Leaders on U.S. Forces in Syria after ISIS” is interesting, because of the map presenting areas controlled by various armed factions. This colorful crazy quilt identifies Syrian Kurds and Aligned Forces, Syrian Government Forces, Islamic State Forces, Syrian Opposition Forces, Turkish Military Backed Forces, and some white areas for which evidently no one can hazard a guess. Remote from each other are two tiny circles labeled U.S./Coalition Military. The map does not account for Israeli airstrikes. What an endless array of possible permutations for factions to fight each other.
Clearly Assad should not introduce chemical weapons, banned by international law, into this melee. The second strike comes after Putin received ample warning he was allowing actions Stalin, Khrushchev, or Brezhnev of the old Soviet Union would never have approved. Those leaders authorized allies to use armed force only to the extent they were well within the options the Soviet Union could manage politically.
Concurrently, I wonder how one could divine any meaningful level of involvement in the face of such turmoil? A comprehensive ceasefire seems remote. Even if achieved, then where do you find the diplomatic skills needed to sort out the combatants into peaceful agrarian villages like you see on Star Trek?
However, the alternative should be a Russian/Iranian dominated Syria under Assad, and that could be unpleasant.

I hate to say it, but I agree with his assessment. And so do the Jews living in Israel. Amir Tsarfati gave an update on the situation today and he is saying the same thing. The USA didnt do anything but bomb a few empty buildings and Assad still has his chemical weapons. They gave the Russians a heads up as to where and when we would bomb and they told the Iraninans and the Syrians. Everything was evacuated before the bombs hit. Once our Troops leave, they will attack Israel and like the bible says no one will be there to help them. Ezekiel 38 war.
I like to call miss lindsey a pillow biting chickenhawk.
Oh, and this happened just 4 hours ago
Behold Israel

Possible Israeli air strike on Iranian weapon manufacturing facility - Large explosion inside an Iranian base in Jabel Azan near Aleppo Syria! Reports on Iranian casualties.
Get outta here, if that isn’t enough, someone else can take care of it.
No the job of the US.
