U.S. Launches Missiles at Syrian Base After Chemical Weapons Attack
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.

Syria, state sponsor of terrorism,

Russia, sits on its behind and does nothing against ISIS, Assad is the biggest killer over there.

We’ll see where this goes.

Seeing the comments I wonder is this Free Republic or Democrat Underground.

And many of the “horrified” here were big Trump band wagoners of the bad kind, trying to shut down any discussion around Trump.

Got to wonder who these posters really support.

I trust the Trump admin on this and it really contrasts with the Uniparty and their empty rhetoric.

“No quibbling about a line in the sand...use wmd gets your ass handed to you....”
************************************************

You don’t get it. What’s happening is “use WMD, tell Trump it was your enemy that used the WMD and Trump will bomb your enemy for you.” Then you just sit back and laugh your ass off at how easy it was to pull off.

Russia and ASSad are ISIS and ASSad had no qualms about allowing Jihadists to attack Americans during that war. What tripe.

It would be ironic if any civilians were killed, though.

Why ironic? War is hell. And the media will say that happened even if it didn't.

Oh yeah, and we're not doing more 10 year long "compassionate wars".

Not happening.

CNN said that US Intel confirmed it was Assad with the chemical attack on his own people

Relax, folks. Trump and his team are not dummies. They may just know something we here on FR don’t know.

I think DJT called Assad and told him ‘out’, and if our sats don’t see moving vans immediately, Assad may not be able to get out. Once he says something, enemies are stupid to think it a bluff.

"This was sanctioned by many countries and was not trumps complete responsibility."

Now that's just funny. Who besides Trump ever pretended to be anything but a Globalist dolt?

The whole Intelligence machine has been out to get Trump since the day he was sworn in and he'd believe what they say about Syria, chemical weapons, or anything else?

If he hasn't been making deals with them all along he's in their pocket now because they know they can bend him to their will.

JMHo

I’m one of the horrified people-————wars horrify me,Trump doesn’t.

We have so much to take care of here that getting involved in Syria could be all consuming.
