Trumps recent strike on Syria seems to have surprised many of us. Which of the following is your position?
A. President Trump was right to attack Syria for the gas attacks. B. I wish Trump did not attack Syria.
I don’t know, but here’s Mark Levin:
“I want to say this to the president of the United States, I want to thank you. I, and I think we are very proud of you. The rest of the world now knows that we have a real commander in chief. Our allies are thrilled, our enemies are nervous. That’s exactly the way it’s supposed to be.”
A
I don’t have access to the information he did.
He’s not alone in thinking Assad did it.
I give him an A.
We can try to figure things out all we want, but sometimes, “It just doesn’t make sense!”, is a very weak excuse for a belief.
Trump said Assad has been using gas for months now.
I don’t think he would lie to us just to justify his actions.
A
C - Undecided
Insufficient data
A
In fact, I think we should seize territory there for a base since we always have to go back there anyway.
Should be oil territory so we can fund it with production operations.
If the base draws attacks, great! Self identifying targets. Flushes the bugs out of the woodwork.
A
All things in good time, if necessary.
Assad is a secular Muslim dictator. The people wanting to overthrow him are Islamists that hate Christians. As bad as Saddam was, Iraq had a large population of Christians that lived safely there until we got rid of him and gave them democracy, which in that part of the world means Islamists who, while fighting and killing each other’s factions, together hate and kill Christians.
B
Trump proved himself now to be no different from Obama and perhaps more dangerous.
He is on my permanent shitlist now.
He campaigned he was going to be President of the USA, not Mr. Police Commissioner of the world.
and this
Bombs...dropping sounds too much like Bill Clinton and Obama.
Therefore B.
There’s nothing to fear.

A; AA; AAA; AAAA; AAAAA
GO. PRESIDENT TRUMP GO. !!!
This isn’t about overthrowing him. The administration has said it does not want him out now. It would like to see him leave later, voluntarily, after the Syria is not an active war zone.
I think things will be more clear in the near future. Trump is not interested in continuing military operations in Syria. He’s hoping Assad will stop with the chems. They can blow around BTW, and we have 1,200 troops there.
I agree. I trust Trump’s judgment, but hope his actions are based on truthful intel.
When Trump earns the support of Schumer, Pelosi, McCain and Hillary Clinton, the liberals are winning.
Very easy and important A.
This was very similar to Reagan’s invasion of Grenada. Militarily it was not a large or especially challenging operation. Geopolitically, however, it was of enormous importance.
Between the fall of Saigon and the invasion of Grenada, people all over the world, and especially our adversaries, seriously doubted that we had the national will to use any of the military assets we had. Grenada put an immediate end to those doubts, quite possibly playing a crucial role in starting the inexorable decline and fall of the USSR.
Thirty-some years later, after a perceived disaster in Iraq followed by 8 years of appeasement and fecklessness under Obama, tyrants around the world seriously doubted our national will to use any of our remaining military assets under almost any circumstances.
Now North Korea, China, Iran, Russia, Syria, etc. will all have to reassess the risks and benefits of every action they take in light of the now obvious fact that the U.S., under President Trump, is willing to use its military power, without any advance notice or warning, if and when it unilaterally deems it necessary or proper to do so. This is an earth-changing development, and an extremely positive one if you believe that peace through strength is the safest policy for the U.S. and its citizens.

So billion dollar pipelines and control of the EU is better in the hands of Islamic terrorists?
