A U.S. military official told NBC that 59 tomahawks had been fired, which hit an airfield near Homs.

Who are we helping? The Obama-McCain-CIA-ISIS “rebels”? Are we sure we are bombing Assad forces? (pretty close quarters between opposing forces on that battlefield). Pretty quick on the “regime-change” trigger finger Mr. Trump...U.S. troops protecting “safe spaces” for civilians is next?
Sure wish we hadn’t done this. Not our job to police the world.
Alas, China may decide that it is a good oppertunity to go after America, for whatever they had in mind.
I’d feel a little better if he was as tough on his enemies at home
Screw you!
> Assad in not a Mullah (Iran), nor Caliph (Turkey), nor Whabbist religious police (Saudi Arabia). <
The Shah of Iran was a check on Islamist extremism. So was Saddam Hussein. So was Qaddafi. And so is Assad.
Stupid Carter got rid of the Shah. Stupid Bush II got rid of Saddam. Stupid Hillary got rid of Qaddafi. I suppose Trump is now trying to join that exclusive club of idiots.
If Assad is toppled, the example of the Shah will tell you what’s next for Syria.
Iraq War III
We all just joined ISIS.
Only thing we can hope for is that Tillerson is being dispatched to Moscow and a Putin spokesman stated that Russia’s support for Assad was “not unconditional.”
And on cue, the nut cases come out here ripping Trump a new one. People are never happen. You just got Gorsuch today and so far, we’ve lobbed a few Tomahawks to send a message and the usual crew is screaming that Trump betrayed them. When and if he sends 20,000 troops there then get angry.
CBS is saying “nearly 60”
What?
If you are not informed, don’t claim to be.
60 Tomahawks.
Now what?
Is this surprise attack good news by spooking NORK and Iran?Do they now sit up and take the President seriously? Or did he Trump push all his chips to the center in a too-early gamble?
Somebody make me feel better about this
We break one plane— kill one Russian invitee to the sovereign nation of Syria and get food and water quick. This is total madness. Trump is an idiot!!~
Bad move. Very bad move.
I’m with you.
What a disappointment.
For those who are so quick to pin this on Assad, you have forgotten Benghazi and Clinton’s Sarin gas to Syria rebels. Sad day.
But Hillary is happy tonight. Are you “with her” now?
“Check” conveyed to democrat scum and the media that cringes when islam does its evil.
We either have some really advance thinking folks in charge or they are all idiots.
>Non interventionist policy was one of Trumps most appealing traits as a candidate.
Yep. Really rethinking my support for him.
I don’t get it either.
If he sends in troops THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER. He lobbed a few missiles in to do SOMETHING. Settle the F down.
Im telling you it had to be done. This was a perfect opportunity to show that POS in N Korea that there will be consequences because for the last 8 years, a p**** has been in office.
First words from Trump reported by Fox: “strikes on Syria was in the vital national security of the US”
You do realize Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952, right?
