Ah, the tried and true tomahawk response.

An entirely appropriate response for this war crime.

Now it's time to tell the Russians FU, ya boy Assad's days are numbered.

Guess that line Obama drew in the sand was deemed to be crossed now.... 

As for the question of war....only the most naive person does not realize that we have been at war for twenty years....well maybe 24 since the first Trade Center attack was in 1993.

Jets from All Shayrat air base dropped sarin gas on civilians. We attacked the air base with cruise missiles.

Appropriate.

Thank you Pres. Trump for this response against a regime against a regime that brutally kills it's own people. A refreshing change from the previous wimps (Obama, Clinton, Kerry) who were all talk and no action and contributed to the mess in the ME. Proud of you for this action and letting the world know we won't be pushed around anymore.

Congress wouldn't vote for it before,  glad this was done this evening. 

[RunInRed 16,485]

Hypothetically, assuming we remove Assad, who are we going to replace him with?  Have we learned nothing from Aghanistan, Iraq, Libya?  This is all just getting started, folks.  As I said, buckle up.

[AUUSN 823]

Well said.

[RunInRed 16,485]

Remember, there is no "moderate" rebels in Syria. This is why Obama made no move. The Wahhabis and Salafis are bankrolled by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. The rest is PR.

Syria is soon to be even more of a hell hole. More specifically, instead of merely being content to oppress and bully the non-Salafist population, the non-Salafist population will simply be butchered and the country’s only export will be Salafist terrorism.

You've got to think before you act ... I have no confidence the Trump team is capable of managing this geopolitical situation.  I could be wrong but history tells me otherwise ... same song, different dancer.

Yeah we learned Obama made a huge mistake in reemoving all our troops from Iraq and lettting ISIS spread it's evil. I hope there will be more to come if the Tomahawks didn't get the message across that we are again a world leader and not a puppy dog follower.

So you're advocating for a full invasion and troops on the grounds for years and years while we nation build Syria?  We're back to that approach?

In case you missed it we already have boots on the ground in Syria.. And yeah I trust the judgement of this administration, and Gen. Mattis ,in particular, by light years more than the previous inept administration.that clearly had no strategy for dealing with the ME.

Dunning-Kruger in full swing from some corners of this forum, I'm afraid.
