Trump just instigated an unprovoked missile attack on a Sovereign Nation that posed no direct or immediate threat to our National Security or American Citizens.
Explain to me why this act of war without any input from Congress is consistent with our Founding Documents and our Constitution?
Why would you trust this nonsense that Assad would use “Sarin” (a proven lie) on his own people. To what end? Try to conger up critical thinking rather than following a false narrative to justify an illegal; attack on a sovereign nation, like a sheeple.
Directive 17 approved by congress is no 2 regarding use of WMDs.
Why wouldn't he if he thought he could get away with it? You're not under the delusional Assad is a honorable guy that wouldn't use chemical weapons, are you?
It's probably been happening for months with Russia covering up the evidence.
But, there isn't any other entity that had access to chemical weapons and planes than Syria, Russia or Iran. Rebels don't have the aircraft. It's insane to think our military would have done it.
March 1988: Over two days in March, the ethnic Kurd city of Halabja in northern Iraq (population 70,000) was bombarded with chemical bombs, which included sarin, in the Halabja poison gas attack. An estimated 5,000 people died.
April 1988: Sarin was used four times against Iranian soldiers at the end of the Iran–Iraq War, helping Iraqi forces to retake control of the al-Faw Peninsula during the Second Battle of al-Faw.
1993: The United Nations Chemical Weapons Convention was signed by 162 member countries, banning the production and stockpiling of many chemical weapons, including sarin. It went into effect on April 29, 1997, and called for the complete destruction of all specified stockpiles of chemical weapons by April 2007.
When the convention entered force, the parties declared worldwide stockpiles of 15,047 tonnes of sarin. As of December 2015, 89% of the stockpiles had been destroyed
1994: Matsumoto incident; the Japanese religious sect Aum Shinrikyo released an impure form of sarin in Matsumoto, Nagano, killing eight people and harming over 200. The Australian sheep station Banjawarn was a testing ground. 1995: Tokyo subway sarin attack; the Aum Shinrikyo sect released an impure form of sarin in the Tokyo Metro. Twelve people died.
2004: Iraqi insurgents detonated a 155 mm shell containing binary precursors for sarin near a U.S. convoy in Iraq. The shell was designed to mix the chemicals as it spun during flight. The detonated shell released only a small amount of sarin gas, either because the explosion failed to mix the binary agents properly or because the chemicals inside the shell had degraded with age. Two United States soldiers were treated after displaying the early symptoms of exposure to sarin.
2013: Ghouta chemical attack; sarin was used in an attack in the Ghouta region of the Rif Dimashq Governorate of Syria during the Syrian civil war.
Varying sources gave a death toll of 322.
2017: Khan Shaykhun chemical attack; sarin gas was allegedly released in rebel-held Idlib Province in Syria during a Syrian army airstrike. Civilian death toll of ~57 reported, over 200 more injured.

Do you have a clue of when Assad took power? he took power in 2001- BY DEMOCRATIC ELECTION!! In 1988 he was 16!!!Give us all a break. IT WAS NOT SARIN!!Are you following along? That 2013 attack has been completely debunked!! They found the Isis Chemical factories in 2014 near Palmyra— LOOK IT UP. IT WAS ISIS IN 2013, Everyone knows that! My God !! Are you CIA?
Assad is a horrible guy?? Based on what? He hasn’t done a thing to this country. He hasn’t done a thing to Israel !!Where do you people come up with this nonsense? Have we given up as a nation engaging in facts or critical thinking or do we follow the Furor mindlessly? I have never been so astonished a ignorance in my life!!
That ISIS group were the Rebels supported by Obama, who was pointing fingers at Assad.
If you have to ask, Google or Bing it.

are just trying to climb on the band wagon! What THEY think is off no consequence, one way or the other. Even a stopped watch is right twice a day!
Yes, we an national interest in Syria -- destroying ISIS. We don't need our troops being potential exposed to chemical weapons. And, we needed to send a message to Putin and Assad that we're not going to tolerate any shenanigans while we're there.
You seem to prescribe to Obama's foreign policy where we rollover and do nothing about national security threats and atrocities.
Are you one of the anti-Trump trolls infesting the social media with anti-Trump talking points trying to drive a wedge between Trump and his millions of armed, pissed-off, patriotic supporters?
You do understand that the Chemical weapons are Isis owned ONLY. Or are you just lost in a sea of lies and propaganda? People here disappoint me. My grand kids are smarter than that.
Do you have a link?
Should IS et al be allowed to use chemical weapons?
> Yes, we an national interest in Syria — destroying ISIS.
So, did we attack IS et al?
