Agree!

Ooh, the hand-wringing comment.

Sorry but "hand-wringing" aside....we have no national interest in Syria and Trump did run on NOT BEING THE WORLD POLICEMEN! Yes, putting us in danger of going to war with Russia is an extremely logical discussion point and if MAD does not cause some "hand-wringing" then you have nothing but craziness to offer Americans.

No, I would like a country for my sons and their children to have, not a nuclear waste land without a future, and yes, I want Trump to keep to what he ran on and going into Syria and war with Russia are not it! Trust is a two way street...and blind loyalty when promises are broken are not what conservatives do. You are going to quickly lose a large part of the base....go out and talk to normal everyday republicans and listen to them, they are not happy.

I want Assad out because he has been a state sponsor of terrorism. The chemical attack doesn’t help his case.

Democrats motive is puzzling.

My first instinct is they want Trump bogged down in a war to increase the liklihood they can impeach him. But if that’s the case why publicly support the war. They should be calling him out if that was the motive.

They could be taking a longer approach and hoping that if Trump boggs down in war that the people will turn back to democrats in 4 years. But again you would think that they would be voicing opposition not support.

It could be they are just getting in line behind Hillary, who called for the missle strike right before it happened, and they aren’t thinking beyond that.

Or maybe they are anti-Assad because Obama was anti-assad and they can’t change their stripes that easily.

President Trump is not going into Syria. He reaffirmed that yesterday. So what are you talking about?

You honestly don't understand why he did what he did?

Arab and Arabized Moslems are the truly ruthless ones. Turks can be as bad but are less sadistic about their genocide. Turks can be civilized and Turkiye was almost western in its economy and middle class society but all that is fading fast. The Turkish problem is as the country Islamizes it becomes economically poorer and more and more will have to engage in conquest of its neighbors and maybe of Europe to replenish its coffers. This will happen to the Saudi Arabs, too, as the oil wealth diminishes and probably feeds into Iran's expansionism.
