PING!!!!

Article and comments, esp, particularly #75

Excerpt:
Trump used the purported Syrian gas attack and the world wide PR campaign to force Trump to take action against Syria and sued the PR pressure group to used to mobilize world opinion for an attack against Syria against them.

In doing so - Trump sent his own message.

-The message was to Iran, Syria, Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan...and others....

-Now that Trump has Assad and Putin’s attention, Sec of State Tillerson’s negotiations to marginalize Iran and North Korea may proceed in a smoother and more expedited fashion.

-Questions about Trumps sympathy and potential for favorable treatment for Russia are now pretty much put to rest.

-The rest of the world is fully aware that the gas attack was not done by Assad, but they are even more aware that Trump is unpredictable and ruthless enough to use a fake story about Assad’s WMD attack as cover to inflict some pain to get the attention of incorrigible members of the axis of evil.

Well, when someone kills 80+ people with banned chemicals, mostly woman and children, if you have a heart, that would change my mind. So Trump decided, we don’t need to have ground troops, so let’s blast the hell out their infrastructure where the weapons came from. Maybe this will stop it. Don’t forget, Susan Rice a few months or so ago said all Syria’s chemical weapons had been voluntarily surrendered.

Sometimes, to fix the situation in which you’ve been lied to, you must slap some common sense into these people. And as I said before, he destroyed the weapons that participated in the use of the chemicals, not the troops.

I hope there’s a strategy here and we don’t end up with 50,000 troops in Syria for the next twenty years.

Now the official US policy as communicated by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is to force Assad from power.

Show me the last time forcing a ruler from power in the middle east did not turn out to be a complete disaster.

Reportedly, he gave Russia 30 minutes notice. Doesn’t sound like a lot of time to move materiel.

He also demonstrated strength. No red lines pussy talk, this is what leaders of great nations do. Those whining about “we didn’t vote for war” can go stuff it. Nobody votes for any THING. We vote for people who we trust to make the right decisions when the time comes. That is how a representative republic works. You wanted a President who operates on the basis of focus groups and public opinion polls? Sorry the last one is term limited and the old hag lost. You’d rather have a democracy where everyone gets to vote on everything? The link to DU can be found in Google.

Thank you - it bears repeating

I wonder how long until we hear the Native American activists whining about the name “Tomahawk”?

It won't be the Native Americans, it will be the snowflakes, socialists, anarchists, commies - the usual suspects.

60 tomahawks is a pretty big message.

Even if Assad stays in power, he will not use WMD’s.
