Pence also said. “It’s time for Russia to get the message President Trump delivered last night. You're known by the company you keep.” He also said the United State will mount a “sustained effort” against the regime if the attacks continue, echoing what U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said in an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday. Pence also said leaders at the summit, which is focused on the collapse of democracy in Venezuela, saoid they support the missile strikes in Syria.

How do we give our secrets away when the secrets are all under the hood?

You’re hypothesis that Assad did it shabbily is way too far-fetched to be what happened. He was inches from victory.

Obama left a mess where Assad has been free to terrorize with atrocities and Russia has opportunity to expand it's hegemony in the area - Trump wants to extricate us from it but will not countenance the chemical warfare - he's leveraging what is available for the international community and even with the UN - note that the UN Security Council heard all the testimonies and then refused to go with Russia's desire to condemn the strikes...

Trump is walking a line that includes both morality and the right thing - some folks can't stand that......

Either we have treaties or we don’t. Either we have international law or we don’t.

Now, I don’t particularly like the whole concept of ‘international law’ when they try to override the Constitution with it, but chemical weapons WERE still deployed, and that demands a response no matter who it was from.

By destroying the weapons instead of the regime, it was an acceptable threading of the needle in my eyes.

I don’t think the Russians are smart enough to learn how we developed the technology to make our air power invisible to radar.

Hubris is what caused Percival to lose Singapore.

Just want you to recall how those dumb russians bugged our embassy for decades. The technology they used was brilliantly clever. Look it up, you might be surprised.

You do know that 19 years ago over Kosovo, 24 of the 37 F-117 stealth fighters engaged were knocked out of action ?

Hubris is what you have in abundance

I'm confused - do you want Trump to go in and do what Obama tried to do (and caused the whole mess)? Assad and Putin are setting the stage for using Chem weapons as "just another tool in the bag" and it makes sense to squash this and to keep it front and center in the international court. Trump has signaled he wants us out of Syria but he's not going to concede that they can use such weapons at-will. It's not really that complicated if one just takes a breath and lets the Oxygen reach the brain.

Obama’s and Clinton’s destructive wars of 2011 “Arab Spring” were designed to support Sunni / Muslim Brotherhood rule. Look at the destruction caused in Libya and Syria - and he nearly succeeded in turning Egypt into a failed state.

These wars launched several million muslim (mostly young men) into Europe, to further cause chaos there.

After all this, the excuse of “we have to stop chemical weapons use” is just a very fake and phony cover. Its a pity you believe it. It’s not really that complicated if one just takes a breath and lets the Oxygen reach the brain.

Apologies for some of my comments - it just seems many are prepared to give up the ship because they are pissed that one of the dingy’s has a leak in it.
