U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Saturday that the United States is locked and loaded if the Syrian President Bashar Assads regime uses chemical gas again in the country.
Haley made the remarks at a fiery meeting of the U.N. Security Council, in which Russia and the U.S. traded barbs over the decision of the U.S., France and the United Kingdom to launch strikes in Syria on Friday in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons last week in Douma.
While the Trump administration has said the strikes are now over, with Trump declaring: Mission Accomplished! on Saturday morning, Haley warned that should the Assad regime use such weapons again, strikes could resume.
"I spoke to President Trump this morning and he said if the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded," she said.
In what may be seen as a jab at former President Barack Obama, who famously drew a red line on chemical weapons use in Syria in 2013 but was accused of failing to follow through, Haley promised that Trump would not waver: When our president draws a red line, our president enforces the red line."

It’s actually common strategy with chem attacks:
Drive / concentrate opponent into shelter from conventional bombardment.
If shelter is resistant to the attack, now hit shelter(s) with chem weapons.
That should be “last year’s US strike”
Makes ya wonder if the Russian trolls are paid or just hate the USA...
Why is it either/or?
They’ve been here for years. See comment #45.

Yes, lets. By the way, I wont be joining the celebratory reveling of Linsey Graham, Juan McCain, the Saudis, the Qataris and their Islamist Rebel allies in Syria. How quickly we forget.

You’re correct. I should’ve said and/or instead of “or”
Bats*** crazy.
Bats*** crazy, too.
Trump has a real strategy here. He’s showing Putin he is not afraid to escalate. Then Putin won’t escalate a situation like he would if a doormat Democrat was in the White House. Not that the bedwetters and Paulistinians will notice what POTUS is doing here.
Not crazy, just stupid, and on the side of the establishment. I've loathed Nimrata ever since she sided with the PC Left in taking down Confederate flags and monuments, warmongering in Syria is just another way for her to show her establishment bona fides.
I wonder what big mouf Mizz Nikki would do if the South dragged out and hoisted their confederate flags in the name of free speech?
I can be certain much drama would follow from Mizz Drama Queen.
Love Trump do not like Nikki.
I fail to see how having chlorine dropped on me would be so much worse than being shot or blown to up by bombs. In other words, I fail to see why one means of killing people, be they ccombatants or not, is so much worse than any other.
