ISIS swoops after Donald Trump Syria missile strike with attack 20 miles away

ISIS jihadis have reportedly launched an attack on a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) base just 20 miles away from the air base targeted by US president Donald Trump.

Trump’s strikes saw 59 Tomahawk missiles rain down on the airbase – believed to have been used for chemical weapon attacks by the Syrian government which killed at least 80 people.

ISIS, also known as Daesh, has attempted to take advantage of the chaos caused by the President’s strikes, launching a powerful offensive on a military base in Al Furqlus, pro-Syrian news site Al-Masdar claimed.

Homs governor Talal Barazi claimed the airbase was used to support operations against ISIS.

It appears that American forces are coordinating with ISIS in Syria and that the missile attack provided support for ISIS to gain territory.

The Obama administration armed and funded ISIS. Are Obama holdovers working to help ISIS come back to power?

Reminds me of a friend that had the daunting task of laying off a ton of people. Then they laid him off.

I figure we can hit ISIS with cruise missiles just as easy as we can hit Assad.

I’ll be honest, I’m kind of mad. One of my reasons for voting for Trump was that Clinton was 100% likely to pull us into this crap and now we’re in it anyway. So the deep state and the war pigs get another senseless war to fund their defense contractor cronies and distract us from our encroaching police state. I guess I’ll have to remember my other thousand or so reasons for voting for Trump instead of Clinton.

Just creating a target rich environment for that Russian warship steaming toward the Eastern Med.

Quite ingenius really. We take out Assad and the Russians take out ISIS at the same time.

THORVALDR should be given a microphone and people need to listen to him. Another quagmire for the USA to continue to be caught in the battle between Shites and Sunnis. it is REAL sad that chemical weapons are used, but the Muslims have a LOT of blood on their hands, and they need to start giving up thei ICON which is a SWORD.

Was thinking perhaps some of the Fraud’s operatives tipped off his terrorist BFF’s to “organize” a response this quickly.

Just sick some of those Kurdish Women Army soldiers on them. That disturbs them more than a couple of Cruise missiles.

One missile strike used to send a message to various countries and now we’re “deep into it”???

I really think that President Trump has a little more information and intelligence than do the “hand wringers” in here...

How many times in the past 2 1/2 months has Trump done or said something that caused panic in here and then, after a day or two, he is shown to have been absolutely correct in his action???

Calm down and see what the results of this action will be...
