Unfortunately, Muslims are all to eager to hide the most evil of their families behind the most innocent.

If this happened on Bush’s watch you can be sure it’d be front page news on every news outlet in the world save Fox.

7 children. Oh what shall we do?

War is war, and if you start one, don't bitch about children being killed.

That is such a poor military operation. But of greater significance was the failure to rescue 600 Christians executed yesterday in north east Syria. We all knew they were being held hostage after capture 60 days ago!!. If I was President I would have been there with hell fire. But the muslim bastard president ignored the entire genocide. He is complicit in their sad innocent death. 600!!! EXECUTED YESTERDAY!! And we did nothing and said nothing. May he rot in Hell.

We killed many more enemy civilians in World War II, however, we were full committed in force by land, sea, and even occupying military and physically taking the territory to actually win the war. Here, our politicians figure that airstrikes alone are all we need, and boast about zero military actually being killed. Does that sound full, or just half-assed, or even less?

And what did Syria have to do with 911? NOTHING

They were a civilized country until Obama unfriended them.

Wait! Who EXACTLY are we attacking? The article makes it seem like we are attacking Islamists, but in Aleppo the FSA (whom we back) is allied with Islamists against the Syrian Army: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/18/us-mideast-crisis-syria-aleppo-idUSKBN0ME1EN20150318

Well,I sure don’t want anymore land invasions except to free Christians. We have been there and done that. Too many died and too many wounded ( 40,000) and way too much printed money. We screwed up the entire region. Time to lock down our own borders and get jobs for AMERICANS!!!

All this unrest is fomented and orchestrated and it could be that the USA is being set up the same way by the multiculturalists to do the same with us. I do not trust them because they and their media have been playing and pitting Americans against each other. The USA needs to be united and that scares the hxll out of the elites.

Didn’t I just read the other day that 123 of our soldiers have arrived in Syria to train the rebels (Al Qaeda)? How long before they’re killed in retaliation?

Contrast that allegation — innocent civilians died from US bombs which fell on baby food factories and wedding receptions — to the fact that the Assad regime has been slaughtering Aleppo for four straight years.

You bring up something important. We are being pitted against one another, and that can never end well.

Wait! Who EXACTLY are we attacking?

THIS is the question that needs to be asked. You can bet that it was probably the wrong side and that it somehow helped ISIS.

Yes, the score is not settled by a long shot. We can kill many more civilians and still be short.
