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.

Trump is helping stop a genocide based on information from our own intelligence and corroborated by the the UK and France.
Go ahead with your bullshit again.
Actually, screw you, except you probably already have done that to your self, already.
If not, you can do so now.

Lurkers from DU approve this message.

Google is your friend.
you never liked the President anyway so why are you saying that crap?

IBTZ!!!
You need to hook up with raider, your perfect for each other.
Maybe have a cup of milk and talk about Obamacare.
Trump is about to enable a genocide. Excuse me: another genocide. Against Christians. Because we’re America, and that’s what we do.
Come Monday, it will be “Trump the war criminal”. Maybe not even that long.
Act like zot bait, get treated like zot bait.
Let me know your assignment and I will let you know what to expect.
What? You don’t have one? Well, lets fix that.
Yep. All of the coming rapes and beheadings are his. Lock stock and tomahawk.
FR is such an odd place these days.
Can’t fault the Russkies for trying though - they obviously see us as the enemy, and have embraced all of our enemies as their closest friends, ranging from China, Cuba, North Korea to Iran and, more recently, the Taliban. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/17/evidence-russian-military-support-for-afghan-taliban-is-growing.html Even Trump must be tiring of Russian double dealing. Some enemies just aren’t interested in olive branches.
When Clinton approves, one knows it is the wrong move. Furthermore, assuming Obama policy is pathetic. There were better ways to approach. Lastly, this gives the left more things to complain about because that’s what they do.
that’s just ridiculous. the obama policy was to have lengthy press conferences that led to more lengthy press conferences. trump has blown a bunch of syrians up twice in his first 18 months.
I’m glad you’re not Jim Rob.
