Thank you President Trump for not faking the red button and the redline crap but taking full action! Thank you for making me feel America Will return to being a power house once again! You did this in the face of the Chinese prime minister and you did not relent and you did not retracted .... thank you thank you!

From whom are they getting the chemical weapons from? Hopefully it is none of the three mentioned - US-Europe-Israel.

I guess there were too many surviving Christians and Alawites for Syria’s neighbors.

Trump is cleaning up the mess created by Obama.

How is this "cleaning up"?

The winner is Israel. The Iranian sponsored Muslims will lose their hold in Syria and Lebanon. For the short term, Israel is at a defacto peace with the Sunni Muslims as they hope Israel is their buffer against the Shia. Lots of minority losers - Christians, Yazdi, and Alawites.

“From whom are they getting the chemical weapons from? Hopefully it is none of the three mentioned - US-Europe-Israel.”

Nerve agents (Sarin, Soman, Tabun, VX) were discovered by researchers looking for better pesticides. The manufacturing process is not terribly difficult for a state-level actor.

Taking out Assad would be a tremendous mistake, just as taking out Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi created the power vacuum that allowed ISIS to come into power in the first place.

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly rightfully attacked those disastrous actions by his predecessors and rightly described them leading to ISIS.

Taking out Bashar Al-Assad simply gives ISIS another entire failed state to add to their caliphate.

Trump repeatedly on the campaign trail that he would eschew nation building and regime change. It’s one of the reasons I voted for him.

I know all that, I was responding to this statement: Every other chemical attack there has been by the US-Europe-Israel-backed rebels. I’m sure when the smoke clears we’ll find out that it was indeed the rebels again. So thanks but you really did not answer my question. 8>)

All very nice, Mr. Tillerson.

But replace Assad with whom?

Good spot for John McCain and his V.P. Lindsey...
