Based on what evidence that Syria / Russia gassed their owns people of Syria after having defeated Isis? Where is ANY proof? We learned in Iraq to never accept conclusions based of false pretext.

Trump has it made a single mistake since he became President and has shown himself to be most masterful strategist the Republic has ever known.

I trust Trump.

So if Bashar al-Assad didn’t order or authorize the use of chemical weapons, who did?

I have a feeling this was a false flag event and Trump will want to rule that scenario out before launching an attack.

The Russians aren't the only party in this negotiation. The other party are the anti-Trumpers who accused Trump of collusion with the Russians.

Did they intend to push us into nuclear war with Russia? If not then they need to back down.

Sometimes I think "why do I have to live in such crappy times? Ever since 9/11 it's been war, terrorism, bad economy, erosion of our rights, bad leadership, moral decay, and a general decline of the west. 17 years of it!" Occasionally something comes along that gives me some hope (Trump, for example) but in the end it sometimes feels like the current is too strong to swim against.

I take some solace in the thought that my parent's generation grew up in nearly 20 years of depression and war and then things got amazing in America, at least for a while. Until the left started to wreck it starting with LBJ. But when ... if ever ... will we turn that corner?

Russia has apparently blinked and is, by recent report a bit ago on Fox, pulling out the Naval forces and maybe others. Getting them out of harms way.

Reflex Action to ‘Russian Collusion’ syndrome exacerbated by his enemies.

I'm with Trump.

For a recap of the evidence and the investigations that have concluded it was Syria look Here

• I have faith that we have sufficient evidence that Syria not ISIS did this. And more evidence that what is listed on that site.
• Apparently the evidence is sufficient to convince Britain and France to join with us.
• The town attacked was Rebel controlled (I think not ISIS). The rebels would be sacrificing their own people to try to get the US involved and to what end?
• The UK doesn't think any party to the war has access to that kind of weapon other than Syria.
• An investigation identified the type of bombs and the aircraft that was used.
• Syria has a history of using gas.
• As for motive, it's probably to inspire fear. To stop the populace from supporting rebels. To see if the US really has the will to stop them.
• Anybody remember the Russia mercenaries that attacked our base?

There is no way for me to have enough information to know whether this is a good idea or not so I have no opinion on it. I will of course follow any news with interest.

Don’t do it!!!! Don’t do it!!!! This act will turn Trump into Bush. Its a no win fight, and everyone calling for war now will turn against you in three months, why get into that. The video is OBVIOUSLY a hoax! And we have no friends in Syria, none. There is nobody there who would not stab Trump in the back. This whole thing is about using our army for something other than our own boarders. That is the only thing the democrats care about. And Graham just wants his military vendors to get more huge contracts.

The sad thing is that this new action will hurt everything Trump stands for. The military will not get their pay raise because we will be buying missiles instead. Our boarders will not have troops on them because the troops will be dying in Syria. And the democrats will not be on Trumps side. As soon as Trump commits himself they will attack Trump on the first American death.

Letting the press start our wars is the most foolish thing Presidents do in this country. We should defend friends who have a chance to win. But there are no friends in Syria.

And by the way. Chlorine gas is available in every factory. It is commonly used and available everywhere. These videos could come from a chlorine gas tank being shot at in any town factory in Syria. It could have been done on purpose or by mistake. It could have been done by any side. In fact it is likely that it was caused by the lack of electricity in a holding tank. Chlorine is stored as a liquid when its cold. When the electricity is shut down, it would explode. So, this most common of all industrial chemicals could easily harm many people in a war zone. In fact Chlorine gas is often spilled in the US through leaks in factories or train car derailments.
