Military Action in Syria as a Response to use of Chemical Weapons

[Pioneer.Pride]

Defense Sec Mattis to Brief President Trump on Military Options in Syria - NBC News

 

If it is proven that Assad has used Chemical Weapons against Syria opposition, then Assad must be removed, and I would hope that we would be united against the Syrian Dictator. I generally oppose foreign interventionism, but there has to be a response to the use of chemical weapons. The big question is : How will Russia respond?

50+ tomahawks at the base that launched the chemical attack.

Since Trump and Putin are such great friends I'm sure Trump asked Putin for permission to do this prior to destroying the air base. 50+ missiles on a single target is a big statement.

That's in 2013. How so much has changed and thank God we have a President that keeps his word and not just draw lines in the sand.

It is. In 2017 they aren't allowed into the US anymore to seek refuge and after their leader tries to kill them we'll go bomb their country in retaliation of the horrific act against them. It's different now.

Yeah, now congress gives approval to attack Syria. 4 years ago they said no.

Maybe Susan Rice learned from Kerry. And those who put stock into politifact, Hahahaha. So much for that.

 

"We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out," then-Secretary of State John Kerry said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in July 2014.

PolitiFact retracts 'mostly true' ruling that US removed '1

Well what's the difference in 14 and 17. Something change? Obama pretty much could have bombed them if needed. Don't have to have Congress to approach bombing. War yes.

The US did alert Russia ahead of time.
