President Trump on Friday announced that he has approved military strikes in Syria against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The decision follows a suspected chemical gas attack from the Assad regime on a rebel-held town near the Syrian capital last weekend.
The United States launched the response, along with assurance from France and the United Kingdom, Trump stated.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the operation is currently targeting the "clandestine chemical arsenal" in Syria.
"This evening I have authorized British armed forces to conduct coordinated and targeted strikes to degrade the Syrian Regimes chemical weapons capability and deter their use," British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
Trump's announcement immediately preceded reports of loud explosions lighting up the sky in Damascus. Syrian TV reported that Syrian air defenses have responded to the U.S.-British-French attack.
Trump said the U.S. is prepared to "sustain" pressure on Assad until he ends what the president called a criminal pattern of killing his own people with internationally banned chemical weapons. It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump meant the allied military operation would extend beyond the initial nighttime round of missile strikes.

I completely agree. Back in the 90’s, the stated US policy was that the triad of nuclear/bio/chem (NBC) weapons being used would draw an automatic US response. I’m not sure when that policy changed, but it’s good to see that it’s back in force.
It’s going to be a big beautiful quagmire!
What is not discernible? I dont believe he used chemical weapons. What did he have to gain from it? He has won the war. He knows there would be a response. It makes no sense.
The action based on he is a bad guy is the argument that has no logic.
Bunch of back seat drivers that have only their imaginations to go with but they do be some fertile (lots of manure involved) imaginations....
He was upset about the attack and went Full Trump Derrangement Syndrome
Notice the noobie was never a Trump supporter
What are we doing about Erdogan’s attempts at genocide of Kurds in Syria? Zip, zilch, nada. We USED them to tout that “we” were going after ISIS in Syria (they did all the hard work and took 99.9999999999% of the losses) and now we will treat them as dispensable to our interests. Syria will be divided up by Russia, Iran and Turkey, before Iran and Russia finish using it as a staging ground to attack Israel.
Gorka disagreed with the lib’s comments ... they were anti
Trump and Laura lets them do that to our President... “fair and balanced” I don’t appreciate. She called Gorka out and told him to let the other guy talk... lie, in other words. Gorka had a hard time with what he was saying. He took issue with Laura laughing about something Gorka thought was serious and laura told him to not take that attitude with her... and not in a kindly way. I wonder if Gorka will refuse to be on her show after the treatment he got.. much worse than the lib got.
Laura also went over all the countries where things were happening and Trump chose to do it in Syria. She didn’t approve of the strikes.. that was pretty clear.
Someone said she has a foul mouth when she wants to use it off air.. i didn’t hear her, but it was said she went off when her sponsors were leaving her.
US President Barack Obama in 'red line' warning to Syria over chemical weapons
If that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave had done his job, instead of issuing an empty talk President Trump would not had to order the missile attack

Good riddance.
Here’s her show.. she got real testy at the 43 mark on the video. Gorka was not letting her sell yesterday out. but anytime a host puts on an ‘obama condescending” attitude, toward a good guy... the show loses it’s importance.

The attitude starts about 25 and go to about 44
Thanks very much for the link. Laura was a whining adolescent surrounded by grown ups. What an idiot.

yep just a troll playing conservatives against each other
You realize that you just said;
of course he did not use WMD because he knew there would be a response, which just happened, because he used WMD.
then you said something about lack of logic.
I was exposed to CS in training. I would certainly agree with your statement. I felt like I wanted to go through a wall, just to get away from that stuff.
