So what was accomplished other than angering a not insignificant portion of DJTs base?

It more than paid for itself in the message sent to Iran, Russia and the region. The United States can act with impunity and Russia can’t save you.

Near as I can tell, nothing.

Though I would like to hear a plausible story of some benefit to the US.

I am part of the base and can’t imagine ever voting for anyone in the “Republican” party against Trump. Ever.

And I am not angered by this stupidity, just saddened. Deeply saddened.

It’s clear to me that despite Trump’s many great qualities, he has allowed himself to be distracted by this horrendously irrelevant BULLSHIT. Meanwhile, all over the United States, the Democratic Party of Hate America and Destroy the Constitution is actively gearing up to openly allow illegals to vote in every district they control.

I don’t really give a flying f* about any of the American-haters in Syria.

The chemical weapons and the facilities to produce and store them are gone. Neither side in this conflict in Syria can use them. Mission Accomplished.

See post 40.

That part of Trump’s base ought to be ashamed of themselves.

A temporary hiatus in chemical weapon production until the facilities are rebuilt underground.
