How much Sarin gas you want cut loose on our Boys in Afghanistan, Iraq?

Using gas is against the Geneva Convention
And this freaking mess has caused millions to leave as refugees that is causing the World to catch fire with savages everywhere.

After 8 years of red lines and opologies even though I wasn’t a Trump fan in the primaries and at some level still aren’t.
I applaud this move.

Take Note Iran,N.Korea and Russia.

We are winning!

I’ve read so much innuendo drama assumptions and garbage tonite it’s a joke. So an airfield was bombed? Yawn. Bill Clinton did this all the time. Yeah WW3. Will the candycane libtards “anti-war” butt hurt meme be out to block the highways after tumbleweeds went by when Obozo and company ripped apart Libya, Egypt and Syria and it’s current destabilized situation? More crickets.

No hysteria here

You practically just warned women and children to take cover and for the men to gather up the water and food.

Do you really believe the US military would strike an airfield without prior warning to the Russians at a minimum?

That's hysteria.

Getting a little concerned Wendle might suffer a stroke.

It was ISIS that started this war, not Assad. Syria was relatively stable before ISIS started making trouble.

I'm still trying to figure out why a US bomb strike in Mosul that killed something like 300 civilians is any different than a Syrian chemical attack that kills 80 or so civilians.

Are the Iraqi children any less dead than the Syrian children?

Our excuse is that there must have been explosives or car bombs stored near the target in Mosul. Syria's excuse is that there must have been chemical weapons in the ammo dump that they bombed. Which one is likely to be true, or are they both true or false?

Assad isn't a popular guy, but if we blame him for civilian deaths why don't we blame ourselves when our attacks kill civilians?

BS. Show me where I said anything that even implied that. You're just sermonizing and making crap up that is not really in response to anything actually said.

You wrote: "Disaster. Totally idiotic. American will die from a lie. Russians will now retaliate. You need to get food and water for your family. Absolute madness built on a imbrication!!"

And it IS a response to what you said. I accused you of picking and choosing your data. You said I was basically clueless. So I countered by pointing out you believe we're about to die in a nuclear inferno.

That's a valid point in context.

Trump didn't have a choice. It was either Syria or him. Look on the bright side: the Deep state has essentially cut Obozo loose. They simply couldn't give a sh!t who is nominally elected as president.

With Trump going along to get along with the neocons to pursue their global war, he's now got carte blanche to wipe out Bozo's remaining legacy.

I'd bet dollars to donuts we'll now see Ocare repealed, the wall funded, travel restrictions validated by the SC and a whole raft of domestic programs important to Trump and his constituency.

Then you’re falling for the propaganda. Please think it through: What Trump did makes it far more likely such actions will be brought to our shores.

Exactly. The Assad side had ISIS/Al-Queda on the ropes. Now we throw them a line. The only outcomes will be 1.) even longer war in Syria, 2.) even more refugees streaming into Europe and the US, 3.) defeat of the Assad regime and replacement with something much worse.

Your compassion is noted, but it is misplaced.

Same NeverTrump posters as usual. It gets so tedious.

I hope they are purged. It is as if FR has been infiltrated by bots.

Oh, I see.

So, Assaad thought “Screw them. They can’t possibly mean they will attack us if we use Chems. Besides, we turned all them over in 2014 and you confirmed as much”.

Now, Assaad really thought he could use chems without any problemo?

Why does using chems become some moral imperative for us?

As for chems on our boys, that would be the game changer and no, I don’t to see them used on our boys.

That said, I don’t want to see them maimed by IED’s, snipers, bomblets, booby traps, bullets, grenades, arrows, bullets, etc...all of which we use...

Umm, actually that’s not quite correct. It was Hillary and Obama that took out Kaddafi and destabilized the middle east. All to scoff his gold and transfer his weapons to Obamas muslim brotherhood butt buddies. All without a Declaration of war I may add. That was in 2013, it is now 2017. The war powers act only authorizes 90 days and by my math we are slightly beyond that.
