Kudos to Trump. One thing I wish Obama had been more forceful with after the first chemical attack and when the rebels were much stronger. Take out their air force. Hard to drop bombs then.

I just don't understand why we don't just take the guy out. If freakin North Korea can get to somebody with some Jason Bourne crap, surely we can 'make it look like an accident' with Assad.

North Korea is next on the hit list. Gotta get China on board with doing something though.
Yep. Pretty easy. Kill Assad, let the numerous humanist secular rebel freedom fighter groups take over the country and turn it into a western european like democracy.

Sometimes it takes a genius like cardkilla to speak the simplest thoughts
 
Not sure how I feel about this. In what way does this benefit the US?

Am I the only one that doesn't GAF about the difference between chemical attacks compared to say having a bomb dropped on some kid's head? Choking to death or having your legs crushed and then catching on fire doesn't seem to be that big of a difference.

It doesn't. Sometimes when you see people frantically hosing off dead babies in an attempt to save their life, you send a ****ing message.

Sorry for the language Sickening to see this crap.

So they're all OK?

This possibly also sent a second message. Trump was with the President of China tonight. Maybe now it's more clear to him that if he/China doesn't keep North Korea in line, then North Korea could be on the receiving end of 59 tomahawks next.

Bombing an airfield that is used for chemical bombs isn't being suckered into anything

They gave notice to Russians to exit air base. We have assets in the area that could be harmed by these chemical weapons. We have troops stationed near.

Y'all acting like he ordered boots on the ground. We are calling for civilized nations to join together. They need a leader. It will be the USA, again. Obama ain't in office anymore. This showed the world that.

2 birds. 1 stone.

Best case scenario (and hopefully the actual scenario)
 
You know the answer; my point is that they've already killed something like 100K people over there with conventional weapons. A few more killed with chemicals shouldn't be a "you crossed the line in the sand" moment.
It's one thing for fighters to fight other fighters. It's another to attack indiscriminately. It may not be a line in the sand but rather enough of your sheet. If you want to keep fighting, OK. Do you really think this would have happened had Obama kept his word 4 years ago & done the same?

All that's not to mention how it causes more & more people to head off to other countries causing more chaos.
 
Matt better stick with basketball, he wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hades of beating Mitch.
 
Jump on that Lockheed and Boeing stock tomorrow. Hildabeast gonna get her pipeline.

Yea, we should have waited till he does it again & more babies are being hosed off. Oh, wait. It's too late again. Well, let's wait yet again.
Good point. Very different than 100k other dead Syrian prior to this.

Didn't cost us anything but a few missiles and the possible prolonging of a civil war with no good actors who can come out victorious.
 
Didn't cost us anything but a few missles. What's your problem?

I hope it brings about a positive change. The odds and history are against it. I supported Trump because I thought he had the resolve to worry about America first and wanted no part in being the worlds babysitter. I think the emotional impact of the chemical attack led to this. I completely understand that. I still support him. Just don't think it leads to anything positive as I think that part of the world is hopeless.
 
God help us all. I guess the Trump fireworks over Syria with 59 tomahawks was the night cap.

Army Commemorates 100th Anniversary of US Entering WWI
The U.S. Army paid tribute Thursday to the 100th anniversary of the American military entering World War I, a move that would cost the lives of nearly 117,000 Doughboys.

A modest ceremony at the Pentagon marked the decision by Congress on April 6, 1917, to declare war on Imperial Germany for its campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare.

 
This possibly also sent a second message. Trump was with the President of China tonight. Maybe now it's more clear to him that if he/China doesn't keep North Korea in line, then North Korea could be on the receiving end of 59 tomahawks next.
I thought that as well.

Another thought: why do nations like Iran and North Korea spend billions of dollars and years of research and development to gain a nuclear arsenal? They could spend a fraction of that on a chemical arsenal that would probably be more effective in making enemies take notice. NK is still years away from harnessing the technology to make a nuclear warhead, but they could make Sarin and other Nerve Agents right now. Put that on a warhead, aim it at whoever you wish, mission accomplished.

This reminds me of the Clinton missile launch against bin Laden in 1998. We're sitting in the ocean launching missiles against a distant target, which to me seems cowardly rather than confrontational, and not very intimidating. That missile strike actually increased bin Laden's mystique, riled Arabs, helped him recruit, and probably ultimately led to 9/11. Similarly, I fear that the ramifications of this are going to be greater than we could have imagined.
 
blah bli blah blah blah.... la lalalala I say the fundamental problem is obvious. Obvlivious we are. WAKE US UP! WAKE US UP! OH WOAH IS US hahahaha
 
I don't want matt in office bit at this point I'm willing to have anything in office for one term to get Mcconnel out then get another R in. McConnell is garbage.
 
Either hit reset as the great Peter Quinn would say, or just pull out completely and let them kill themselves.

This half measure bombing airfield bullshit is a waste of everyone's time and money.


I'd imagine this really isn't about saving Syrian people, and really just has something to do with proxy wars, the dollar and oil, but I don't really have the time or energy to care at this point. Maybe someone could summarize.
 
Sounds like we waited too long, then

Pretty sick you can joke about Dead babies.

I guess you're unaware that clinically dead can be brought back. But that's not the point, keep in with your smugness regarding people watching their children die a horrific death. Maybe some memes will make it even more hilarious for you.

I wasn't joking about dead babies. I was joking about you typing something stupid.

Very different. Also, please explain why a child dying from a barrel bomb is any less heinous than dying from a gas attack.

It wasn't stupid.

If your child was dead would you not do anything you could in the hopes that they were not dead and could be saved? Would hate to be your child.

OK, bub. That's not what was said.

You are too stupid to argue with. Please stick to facebook or topix

Okay sunshine

Here's what you're failing to realize.

Watching on tv free the fact it was obvious the children were dead. However the grown ups in the video who were acting in real time didn't realize they were dead and were frantically trying to save them.


You're just too much of an imbecile to understand a simple observation.


But by all means, keep on joking about dead children. I guess when you're such a miserable pos you can't find anyone willing to reproduce so you wouldn't understand.
