It’s not war, its a limited strike.

Kinda like the Vietnam limited strike, and the Afghan limited strike, and the Iraqi limited strike, which were implemented after Congressional approval and serious investigation.

It's the WAR Powers Act that gives President Trump authority to do this but it strips him of Congressional cover if he acts hastily on false information.

Not worth the risk to put a Sunni terrorist state in place of Assad, and that is the only possible result.

Once you fire that first shot, events are out of your control.

Wow, that's some extrapolation you've got going there. Hopefully, we don't go there but I actually think we should wait until some kind of follow-up before we break out our freeze-dried stuff.

Navy Patriot ~ Kinda like the Vietnam limited strike,...

Me? I would have gone with just like Pearl Harbor was a limited strike on a purely military facility.

Only with tens or hundreds of thousands of military age American "refugees" infiltrated into the Japanese homeland...
