Too much sense too early in the morning.

What is this place coming too?

I was just getting used to the "Trump is Satan" with my morning coffee.

Amending this following line:

I do not believe this will lead to an escalation past the rhetoric going on right now, because people recognize the humanity of destroying the chemical weapons that were used in this way, considering that all the players previously declared these chemicals to have been destroyed.

We do not see that happening, nor do we see evidence of any urgency to put this country on a proper heading.

You can’t be serious!
The Trump Administration has accomplished more in the first 100 days than this country has EVER seen! There is also now a highly qualified Scalia -like Justice filling the empty seat on the Supreme Court.Wake up and pay attention at all of the improvements that have been made and are continuing to be made right under your nose while you spend your time thinking you’re smarter than Trump and his advisors.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and the world does not change with the touch of a button on your computer.

Who cares what the U.N. says? How many condemnations of N. Korea has the U.N. spit out? Seems they also condemned Israel for defending themselves.

I voted for Trump to be American. So far he is showing me he is the MOST American President since Reagan. You Jimmy Carter-Barack Obama Pacifists are a royal pain in the A++!

Oh so you think Russia and Iran are our FRIENDS? I think this Syria strike is going to help us break the Iran “Treaty” Obama screwed us with.

By taking sides against Assad in Syria’s civil war, we have encouraged more agression.
..................................................................
Bull! We have finally stood up against WMDs. Assad has used them for years. He is a War Criminal and no friend of ours. Jimmy Carter-Obama Pacifists never win at anything!

When was the last time anyone shot up a Dance Club in Orlando or a Christmas Party in California and called the media in the middle of it to declare their loyalty to Assad?

End ISIS now! Bomb their headquarters in Riyadh!

Yes, I’m serious.

No doubt quite a bit has been accomplished thus far.

But the things that truly plague us are not being tended to, namely, ridding us of the debacle known as 0bamacare, getting rid of Common Core, eliminating the incentives that exist for illegals to come here and employers to hire them, putting the Clinton’s in jail and the Foundation out of business, scaling back/eliminating the domestic spying, and http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3543056/postsrestoring our rights in general.

What are the chances any of this will be done this year? Next year? By 2020? These are THE most critical issues facing us and to the extent that can is kicked down the road, we will suffer for it. We are at a point now where it is now or never.

And to my point - I see NO sense of urgency from anyone in government to seriously work on these.

In my post back to you I have no idea where that link came from. That’s never happened before.

Sorry.

Assad is no friend of the US, but he's not our enemy either. He never sponsored acts of terror against the US or any European country. The people he's fighting have.

Moreover, the secular Assad government was the only thing that kept Christians and other non-Muslims in Syria from being driven out or slaughtered.

Jimmy Carter-Obama Pacifists never win at anything!

Hillary Clinton advocated exactly the same policy in Syria that you did, and she got her way with it in Libya. What exactly did that "win" for us?

Never. But the Saudis want Assad gone. That was reason enough to convince the Bushes and the Clintons to advocate "regime change" for Syria. I'm still hoping that's not reason enough to convince Trump.

Of course that is where all of this is coming from. Our PALS the redacted 9/11 conspirators that gave birth to nearly every last member of ISIS. Our pals King Buttplug in Riyadh.

You want ISIS gone? Bomb Riyadh!

I think, Paulie, you are to some extent confusing the powers of the Executive Branch (Trump Administration) and Legislative Branch (Congress) of our government.
Obamacare problems rest squarely in the lap of Ryan and the Republican Congress. Ryan needs to go!
Trump has appointed a woman dead against Common Core as head of the Dept. of Education. It will take a little time but CC is dead.
Illegal immigration on the Southern Border is down 67% from what I heard so it should continue to decline as further steps are taken.
I am sure Sessions is working on the Clinton Crimes. The Obama crimes are also entangled as well as the entire Obama Adm. Don’t expect a magic sweep of the wand to happen immediately. Time is in our favor and I expect we shall see some persons being held to account in the not too distant future.
Patience is the by word. It WILL happen.

You seem to ignore the Iron Clad IRAN-SYRIA brotherhood for the last God only knows how many years. IRAN is our sworn Enemy. Syria does not continue without being propped up by Russia. The Russia-Iran-Syria Triad is dangerous for us as well as Israel and other ME countries acting as our Allies. Russia has been free to do whatever it wants since Obama’s regime took over the US. TIME FOR CHANGE.

No. I just think that all islamofascists are our enemy. Especially when they are fighting a regime which tolerates Christians.
