An armada of 12 warships — the largest US strike force since the 2003 Iraq war – is steaming toward the Middle East as President Trump mulls an attack on Syria in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians, according to a report.
The aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman set sail from Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday with five escort warships and they were expected to join four destroyers and two nuclear-powered subs believed to already be in or near the Mediterranean, the Times of London reported.
Trump on Wednesday appeared to telegraph an attack on Syria by tweeting that missiles “will be coming” in response to the attack on the town of Douma on April 7.

Our problems are here. Striking Syria will make the problems here even much worse. Listening to Bolton is like using a hair dryer in the bathtub.

No delay, as reported elsewhere. Just a smooth, steady prep. The scramble are the Assad apologies that are freaking out that we might act. I still wonder that these folks back Russian and Iranian backed Assad over the US, France, Britain. And Israel. So much for allegiances. Would they have done the same in the run up to December 1941? I mean that seriously. This week was Holocaust memorial and here we people that have forgotten that lesson, that apologize, excuse, and some even approve of gassing people. Incredible.
How many Americans were killed in the chemical attack in Syria?
How many Americans are killed by illegal aliens?
National security starts with border security and interior enforcement.
Syria is not a threat to US.
You mention that Holocaust and yet you want to be the Airforce for the guys executing prisoners in ditches on Youtube?
???
I don’t think Assad did it.
I think it was a setup.
Trumps gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
If we’re gonna be bombing national security threats, I suggest we skip the intermediary and start with Iran.
Please spend no dollar there afterward nor take home one Syrian.
If you are worried about remembering the lessons of the Holocaust why would you want America to join ISIS?
Let the Israelis smash Hezbollah and the Iranians into the ground as part of the strikes. Israel should also be allowed to take some Syrian territory to expand their buffer zone as a penalty.
I do realize the difference in firepower and capability though. Just focusing on the numbers.
Bingo.
