Freeperville is universally negative on this, to a shocking extent.

I don't think this is in our security interests.  More than anything, I believe this is a message for North Korea.

This isn't the first time for Assad. He has been using Chlorine gas for a while. Syria didn't not sign the Chemical Weapons Ban.
The Russians have been turning Syria to rubble. I imagine Assad saw a better way of doing it.

didn't the last time turn out to be the rebels who released the gas?

I could not figure out how Assad could have seen an up side to this. And, Did I miss any on the ground data being collected?

Right.

I think so.  We should source that so we are not deluding ourselves.

My gut tells me it is a false flag.  Assad had nothing to gain by gassing his own peeps.

ISIS knows this.  Jihadists have as a doctrine, false flag attacks to attempt to draw others against their enemies.  They will kill their own people to achieve this.  Hell, they strap bombs to their children for crying out loud.

This smells like a trap Trump just walked right into to look all big and bad.

MCCain and Graham are always hot for a war.

They are. They make trump seem sane frankly. If it were up to them we'd be fighting Russia, nork, and Syria simultaneously.

Well, it appears we have our answer. The Pres. went all "Trump" and bypassed Congress.

OMG!  Is all I can say right now.

Trump just said as much.  Trump also wanted to illustrate the element of surprise.

As I make out my check to Raytheon, I'm hoping this was done with good intelligence, and wisely. 

Funny how Trump mocks the intelligence community, claiming they can't be relied upon...yet now acts either with knowledge from them, or ridiculously.

But from where I sit, I have no way of knowing whether this is a good move or bad.

I'm perfectly fine with sending Assad to Hell personally, but do we know for sure we won't unleash Hell on earth if we do?

I remember when Reagan bombed Gadaffi, congressional approval then? How about the Yemen raid? I guess the president has some powers; what about all of the bombs Obama dropped in other countries? Drones? Some of those were certainly in Yemen.

Hell on earth is coming sooner or later. The good news is I have read the end of the Book - we win!

Holy crap.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!
