I don’t think Ergodan lets us use Incerlik anymore.
Cypress is gone.

Every other chemical attack there has been by the US-Europe-Israel-backed rebels. I’m sure when the smoke clears we’ll find out that it was indeed the rebels again.

When Syria had their Damascus-trained chaplain-imam Yee spying for them at Gitmo... why do you think the Syrian government was so keen to communicate with terrorist detainees there?

There has been a lot going on, but not in the headlines.
this is not the first attack with gas...Obama warned then did nothing.

Lots of countries have been quietly attacking the US and Obama ignored them. Now they are testing Trump.

Even though

I hope there is a plan to put a moderate government in place.

All very nice, Mr. Tillerson.

But replace Assad with whom?

What is the plan?

All of the Mideast is run by strongmen.

It is the tribal way, and has been going on since the time of Moses 3500 years ago.

We are going to fix that how?

More nation building?

NUTS to that.

This was not Assad. Trump knows it was not Assad. We will have another success like we had in Lybia. We may even be able to manipulate Russia into going to war.

I voted for Trump because of the SC, thank you it happened, and the other EO reversals. Again thanks Trump, but no, outside of our undercovers there, do not want to bomb Syrian air bases. That is frigging a BOLD statement to Russia and the world and VERY dangerous. I hope it works out.

Assad is the thin barrier keeping the neck cutters from taking over.

And we want to remove him.

So much for being smarter than the last administration.

I hope Kush gets a bigger flak jacket when he goes to Syria.

When did I go to Syria? I think I would've remembered that trip. Lord knows I've been on a few. (probably shouldn't have dropped so much acid in my youth)

Kush

Hasn’t even been 100 days in office yet.

I figured we had a minimum of four years of improving economic, social, and cultural conditions coming to us - and relative peace to boot.

Apparently I figured wrong.
