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 Regime’s 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.

We are all entitled to our opinions. But I regret some of the ugliness here against our beloved President.
“I was a duped supporter. Now im pissed.”
That is just stupid.
Why didn’t Brit and Frogs contribute some bombers? Has their military might deteriorated so much they can’t scramble a few planes? or maybe we just don’t trust them with operational security.
Appears to be a good mission - message delivered. Similar to what Reagan did in Libya. And more than BHO managed when his “red line” was crossed.
What a pearl clutcher you are!
Panties in a bunch much?
they did. is no one actually following this as it is happening? what a weird thread. people are pissed about about stuff that didn’t happen, and screaming for stuff that already has.
just weird.
> If by this process we bring down Assad what kind of Islamic regime will replace him? <
You need look no further than today’s Libya.
she sort of melted down about the air strikes.
Im pretty sure this would be a better place without you.
France and the UK are now Islamist countries. What’s your point?

I was done with Trump after he signed the $1.3 trillion dollar budget, which didn’t secure the border. We might as well have had Obama as President, let alone John Kasich.
Great. Find a home with never-Trumpers where you can share recipes.
If there is going to be a vote to cast raiderboy off the island, I’ll raise my hand to that too.
Ha. Putin said he’d put an end to this
And John (Vietnam) Kerry said while at State the agreements he signed was that Syria had no chemical weapons.
Perhaps Bernie with issue a Statement that will calm your nerves shortly. :)
Ha! Bill Krystol, you've outed yourself!
Not a damn thing. Give the Kurds guns and let them fight.
