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

Featured Replies

Well the president is a double agent working for Russia and is complicit in the chemical attacks so don't expect to much.

 

I'm just trying to remain open minded. :D

I think everyone is complicating this issue. This is a very simple straightforward response to use of chemical weapons. It isn't part of a new plan in Syria other than just that - if you use chemical weapons we will not allow it to go unpunished.

 

I prefer that this be the end of our response for now. the only additional thing I would do if I were Trump would be to make it clear that if chemical weapons are ever used again our response will be more forceful than this response. I would not detail what that response would look like. I would leave that up to Assad to wonder.

Yeesh. This is where my cold heart questions whether anything over there is worth saving.

 

Short answer on that one, Nope. Seems they are all crazy. Let the average citizens out. Any body who wants to stay and play in the sandbox, bury them there.

When he fires Bannon I'll give him plenty of credit. When he does something I wholeheartedly agree with then I'll give him plenty of credit. As of today, 4/9/17, he hasn't done a single thing I agree with. He can't even bomb Syria correctly. He's not getting credit for that from me. He'll get credit from me when he shows real strength and wipes them off the map and points our guns at Russia. Until then he's just as weak as Obama was.

 

Never as weak as President Obama.

 

Haters gonna hate.

This is my mindset.

I don't see Obama as being weak. He actually made some aggressive moves on the national defense side. Some of them didn't produce great results but they weren't weak.

 

In Syria, I don't have a problem with 2013. If Obama had not made the red line comment, I believe most people would be ok with how he responded. The end result was an agreement that removed chemical weapons. It was a step towards the current response. He tried to get Congress to back a military strike - and Congress is inept and too partisan to do that. Obama's biggest mistake was the red line comment. His second mistake was thinking an impotent Congress could make a significant decision - especially one that would impact re-election for many.

Pure opinion on your part. In my mind he'll never be as good of a president as Obama was.

 

I'll always admit my feelings for Trump and anything else for that matter. I have nothing to hide and I definitely am

not ashamed. No sanitized answers from me. You'll always get my feelings from my heart. I'm one of the biggest haters you'll ever come across. I don't think that is a secret.

You have continuously repeated the statement that chemical weapons were removed. This week proved that never happened. Why continue to repeat s falsehood?

Pure opinion on your part as to President Trump also.

 

In my mind, President Obama ranks right up there with President Carter as the worst.

 

Will President Trump be the best? Remains to be seen. He has a way to go to rank with Reagan or Kennedy.

Why did the US have to do the bombing? Why are we getting involved in world affairs again?

Who else was going to do it? It needed done and we just happened to have a couple of more than capable ships sitting off the coast to handle the task at hand. We've been involved with what's going on in Syria for quite some time now, so why wouldn't we react especially considering Syria isn't supposed to have chemical weapons in the first place.

You are correct. It is 100% pure opinion on my part.

We are eliminating threats. Well, we are sending hollow messages to threats. I anticipate eliminating threats at some point though.

Chemical weapons were removed. A Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for removal. The fact that chemical weapons still exist and were used is the fault of the Russians. Under the agreement they were supposed to make sure that never happened
