"With a range of only 290 KM, US ships can sit well outside that range and launch Tomahawks with a range of 2500 KM."

What are the targets? Definitely not the chem-weapons depots that could disperse more chemicals once hit. So what? Lob a few cruise missles at Assad and his weapons systems to punish him? That is the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard.

If we ever had a reason to stay out of "foreign entanglements", according to George Washington, this is it. Let them all those shithead Islamist factions fight forever, while it keeps them from targeting western civilization. Think Iraq and Iran war that lastest 10 years as the muzzies killed each other and didn't have the time on their hands to target us.

I don't understand why my post on the range of the Tomahawk missile and the safety of our ships has anything to do with supporting an attack on Syria. I don't support an attack period. It is not in our strategic national interests to do so.
