I agree with Ann Coulter in that there are no angels to choose from here. It’s Assad or Al Qaeda — not an appealing choice, at all. As for Mike Savage, he got his head cracked in for supporting the President so I tend to feel sympathy for Mike Savage’s remarks, too.

I don’t have a problem if it’s a one-time punishment for using chemical weapons. Also, it tells the North Korean nut that Trump WILL respond.

Total BS. He responded as he should have done. It sent a clear message to Syria, Russia, and adversaries around the world. No Americans died in the action.

Now it is time to invite Assad to leave. Hussein was given the opportunity, ignored it, and ended up hanged.

President Trump also has the duty to obey the Constitution.

Yes. And the President has done so.

There's also this thing—passed by Congress—called the "War Powers Act".

Not that it's necessary, but that should suffice even for the pearl clutchers and NeverTrumpers...

I have to ask Tillerson, if the Ukraine is none of our business, why is Syria?

Now that’s an excellent question.

Just what we need. More hand wringing and pearl clutching.

Alpha male leadership sure scares some people, doesn’t it?

It is not Syria, it is the use of illegal weapons on civilians.

as for the Ukraine, TRex told Europe it was their responsibility. Of course, Europe did not stop the war in Yugoslavia despite hundreds of thousands of dead. Bill Clinton finally had to do it.

I'm waiting for this Donald Trump to reemerge.

Is Syria worth one American soldier's life?

And many of us don’t.

I'm not one for correcting the boss, but truth be known, MOST of us don't.

I don’t feel angry or betrayed at all.

Assad won’t be using the air base that President Trump
bombed to launch poison gas strikes against his own
people any time soon.

Understandable since this is contrary to what he promised. Most people don’t want us to get bogged down in another war.

My question is:

How does DJT know that the CIA people who supplied him with “absolute proof” that Asaad really did it, aren’t the same people who placed the “Russian evidence” on the Trump server?

Good. If Syria uses more chemical weapons, I hope the President will disappoint them some more.

“Only the gutless, faithless, disloyal mostly retarted ones.”

Really? I guess it doesn’t concern you one bit that the leftists, the globalists, and the neocons are creaming themselves in utter ecstasy right now? Only a “retard” would be concerned?

With all due respect to Micheal Savage and Ann Coulter, how do just the two of them become “MANY” of Trump supporters upset with him. I think the author is conflating SOME who are upset into “many”.

As far me, as long as Trump is for very directed limited action vis-a-vis Assad, and steadfastly focused on helping the Kurds defeat ISIS in north of Syria, that will be fine. It will be fine leaving Russia owning what happens in Damascus.

Ukraine reportedly used chemical weapons in 2014 & 2015.
That would be a question for Obama.
