I'm deeply disappointed in Trump. I'm not sure I can support him anymore.
“I’m not sure I can support him anymore. “
You’re now suddenly an nevertrumper? Because you disagree with ONE thing he did out of dozens of positive actions he’s taken recently?
This is a chance to tie Putin to this horror and make him and Russia look bad(and Trump look good).
If we had proof that Syria used sarin on its own people or anyone, I could justify a military commander in Syria wanting to send them a very clear message. We do have many troops in Syria. Recently we were told of artillery men and of Strykers who had been deployed to Syria to operate with our other special forces in the fight against Isis.
The use of sarin in that combat torn foreign country, would constitute a force security threat to anyone Assad would consider to be an enemy. That would be us.
So, if I were a commander with troops on the ground I would take some action against anyone who used sarin gas in my space, and with jet airplanes in play my force security space is really big.
However, we do not have proof that Assad was behind the sarin attack.
Pictures do not constitute proof.
Coulter totally spot on. It was the “Attack of the Beautiful Babies”.
OMG! Apparently your support is a mile wide and an inch deep, if you're willing to withdraw it for this.
Get well soon from your Trump Derangement Syndrome...
I am still VERY STRONG PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPPORTER....
I just don’t like this strike at all.... Think it was dangerous and I hope that is it.
Yet another Trump hit piece. What are we up to now? 25,000?
Trump could have put a Tomahawk down Satan's throat and the anti Trump crowd would call it sympathy for the devil.
Who supports a liar?
Even Trump’s false flag excuse is 100% Hitlery - “It’s for the children.”
Trump did what Obongo & Hitlery couldn’t do in 8 years - open war on Syria.
American right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, who campaigned for Donald Trump, wrote: “Those who wanted us meddling in the Middle East voted for other candidates.
“Trump campaigned on not getting involved in Mideast. Said it always helps our enemies & creates more refugees. Then he saw a picture on TV.”
The Deep State/CIA/ISIS just received a YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE win.
I still support Trump but am very disappointed by the strikes.
I value the opinion of Farage, Hopkins, etc. than I do the useless opinions of non-allies such as Merkel and Hollande. Even the monster, Erdogan, approves.
All the wrong people are supporting this.
You crying unfaithful pussies.
Grow some spine!
The Syria bombing is a a message to North Corea too!
Don’t f**k with America!
Some of you here have very little hands!
U.S. BATTLESHIP POUNDS HILLS HELD BY SYRIANS IN LEBANON; BRITAIN; PULLING OUT TROOPS
The Druse leader threatened retaliation against American civilians in Lebanon if the Navy continued shelling Druse villages. Page A13.
BEIRUT, Lebanon, Feb. 8 - The United States battleship New Jersey bombarded Druse and Syrian gun batteries in Lebanon for more than nine hours today in the heaviest and most sustained American military action since the marines arrived here 16 months ago.
The gunfire was directed at targets ‘’in Syrian-controlled Lebanon which have been firing on the city of Beirut,’’ a Marine spokesman, Maj. Dennis Brooks, said. The shells fired into the capital had landed in Christian-dominated East Beirut, several miles from the Marine compound at Beirut International Airport.
In Washington, the Pentagon said the destroyer Caron joined in the bombardment, firing more than 300 five-inch shells. It said the New Jersey fired more than 250 16-inch shells.
According to the Lebanese Christian Phalangist radio, the American bombardment pounded artillery and missile batteries from Shuweifat, just south of Beirut, all the way to around Shtaura, 22 miles east of the capital. The radio said 30 Druse and Syrian gun batteries had been knocked out along with a Druse military command post.
