NBC NEWS ^

Posted on 04/06/2017 6:18:08 PM PDT by navysealdad

The United States launched dozens of cruise missiles Thursday night at a Syrian airfield in response to what it believes was the Syrian government's use of banned chemical weapons blamed for having killed at least 100 people on Tuesday, U.S. military officials told NBC News.

The U.S. military fired at least 50 Tomahawk missiles intended for a single target — Ash Sha'irat in Homs province in western Syria, the officials said.

It is stupid. Expect more “babies & children” to be “attacked by Assad” whenever the Islamists & Turks want the gullible sucker Trump to attack their enemies.

Well this certainly blows the Trump-Russia connection out the water.

Monumental mistake though.

>We are ISIS now.

I’m not sure. I can think of many ways to make it work in out favor if planned properly. There are billions of morons out there that are easily fooled.

I play chess, I just hope Trump and team are playing a better game.

Where in the kcuF do we get off intervening in a their Civil War?

Who intervened in ours?

Would we like to be invaded and bombed by another country(Mexico don’t count)?

What other countries should we “intervene” on behalf of their citizens?

Venezuela seems like a good idea.

What about Iran? Those Pluckers shot their people dead on camera.

So, can we just bomb North Korea?

Who will replace the leaders we displace or kill?

Will they be friendly to us?

What is to prevent the new leaders from committing atrocities?

Since we are bombing the FK out of everyone, why can’t we install a republic founded on a constitution much like ours, by force?

What countries have we invaded in the last 20 years and improved the lives of its citizens and made the world safer?

What happened to non-intervention?

How is this America first?

The rest of the world doesn’t see this is as human rights violations so, why is this our problem?

kcuF the EU

kcuF NATO

This is closer to being their problem than ours and I have heard nothing from those Apeholes....

There is no proof. Trump has proven himself to be one easily fooled by the Islamists.

"Fooled by the Islamists?" More like the Deep State Neo-Cons you mean.

I sure as hell hope that there are no Syrian children & babies that Trump will unintentionally kill by his bombing of “chemical depots”.

Heck, I think it’s fortuitous that Xi was present with Trump when he ordered this. Asian culture (as many) respect power and authority.

May God protect our troops and bless their families.
