Trump: Decision on Syria will be made in '24 to 48 hours'

[WingNot]

Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can't we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?

Why?  what difference would it make.

You don't send tweets telling Russia that missiles are on the way if you think Assad didn't do it.

According to Town Hall Secretary Mattis and even Trump are now implying they're not absolutely sure Assad is guilty.

The tweets might have been, er, premature.

It doesn't matter if Assad is guilty or not. Bolton is on the scene now and he has had a hard on to destroy Syria his whole life.

It won't be long before Military Industrial Complex McLame pops his cadaver up and pushes for war.

Piss on John McCain.  He is gonna take an embalmed hard on for Trump to his grave.

    You guys are terrible, show some mercy, please.

He's got to go check out Trixie and the other girls at The Gem, first.

Anyway, most people are not going to be for war.  Nigel Farage was on Tucker and he said in the UK, only 1 in 4 want to act on this. We might be higher but it's still probably not the majority.

That said, Israel has hit Syria quite a lot, when we don't like what the Syrian regime does, maybe we should just hit them like the Israelis do, at least, they have evacuated their bases in Syria.  They didn't even get that with the Israelis.

Serious situation nonetheless.

[TomSea]

Here we were worried about North Korea, now, this thing is a bit out of control.

Those drones that were jammed by the Russians, I thought one story said they were going to Douma to see what happened, hence, the Russians jammed them so we could not see. I don't know if this is true, it seems one of the articles said that. That is almost like an admission of guilt. Also, surely, we can find out if this gas was airdropped, the Syrian government is the only one who would be able to do that for all practical purposes.

Not when the net effect of having him around makes many more US dead more likely.

OK, this may sound heartless, but why is killing civilians by poison gas worse than by bullets, starvation, fire or bombs?  All of them are gruesome and horrible.

We are going to save the people to death.

It is horrible.

But so is bombing the hell out of a sovereign country in the ME & leaving it without a functioning government. How many Libyan civilians have suffered terribly, and are to this day, because we decided it was our job to remove the horrible guy who was in charge without a clue as to how we would replace him?

How many times will we have to learn the same expensive lesson?

There's no comparison between any action we take and what the Israelis do.  We and any potential EU coalition members will be acting out of moral outrage as the world's police force.  The activities by Hezbollah and Iran inside Syria are direct threats to them, as they have Lebanon and Syria infiltrated with Iranian weapons and influence, right on their doorstep.  Once the Iran nuclear deal is scrapped, it becomes existential for them.

"Would you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?"

[TomSea]

Chemical Weapons are weapons of mass destruction,

Bullets, starvation, those other things are not called that.

Also, just a little bit of these chemical weapons can do a lot of damage.

At least someone is consistent.

Don't take it too hard, it seems you were clamoring for war 2 nights ago, we all change our minds.

Nope, I was mocking Trump's bipolar nature on the issue.

Some do nothing congressman can be consistent. He has no skin in the game.

Actually when you starve to death your brain puts you in a euphoric state.....so that one isn't so bad.
