that might be really rich. he he he.

Funny boy. Always the troll. WHY IS THAT?

You are covering up the fact that you have no substance or ability to rationally argue.

How do you argue or debate with someone who does not see reality?

jazz music says

Because the banks are bearing down on your security, there's no safe harbor for savings any more, you are in dread of market regulation but that is the obvious solution to America's misery.

A limit needs to be set and shareholders don't like it.

Should we continue to coddle them or regulate them?

Limits will be set sooner or later. --they must

Why? Because you think other peoples success comes out of your pocket? In reality, it's their success that fills the stomach of the poor.

jazz music says

Again. Have some substance if you expect a man to speak to you. You don't understand how people assess personality do you?

Ha ha ha. You probably assess me as a greedy capitalist pig. Do you really think I care?

I was going to make this post with the title Trump goes to war. Thanks for the pictures. It would make a good board book. How long did it take him to start a war?

Let's wait and see what he hits. He might be hitting Obama's Rebels weapon stockpiles just as easily as Syrian targets.

Wait, Obama didn't bomb Syria for a year, not just with cruise missiles?

Now, on the other side of the equation, I doubt chemical weapons were used by Syria. No point, not with Iran and Russia helping and ISIS on the retreat.

However, there is every incentive for Qatar-Saudi Arabia to conduct a false flag attack, because their Jihadis are desperate and against the wall.

Interestingly, this might kill the health Care baby Trump was trying to conceive with his Rand Paul romp on hole nineteen. His partner in Republican love is going to be disappointed.

This is a disaster. How does the administration even know where the chemical weapons came from, so soon after the attack? Have they even analyzed the chemicals? Meanwhile, "700 children have been killed in U.S. coalition airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since August 2014." Blasting apart with bombs is about as bad as gas. It looks like President Trump has capitulated within his own administration, removing Flynn and Bannon and resuming the same war policy Hillary Clinton campaigned on.

Yep, not happy right now about this. Bomb the hell out of ISIS, not secular Syria.

I'm also in the "not happy" camp.

Give example.

I can't believe you even need an example, but here goes.....
A Pharmacist works hard at getting his qualifications - makes decent money - Pays taxes - Tax money goes to a 30 year old healthy male, who is too lazy to work.
You think it is fair for that hard working Pharmacist to support that useless lazy 30 year old?

other peoples success

is a net gain for all of society.

Exactly. Trickle down works. Even to the lazy healthy bums who only deserve the trickle that is pissed out of a penis.

I think this is great. It's an example to N Korea, Pakistan and other wacko countries not to fuck with WMD's.

Good, I am beginning to like Trump more and more. measured and intelligent man. This is a message-not words like OBama. Brutes understand force and this is yet-just a Hey dude try that again and it will be your palace next-but no escalations and forces-good.

Oh the Russia loving dems who now hate Russia-will they start loving Russia again??

The war in Syria has been going on for years now.

Good job Trump, JCS, NSC. This looks like a very good response.

I eat my words. Trump's reaction IS different. This is in line with typical America foreign policy and EXACTLY what Obama should have done.

Now, we see what Russia and Syria say. :)

Because we watched the planes hit their targets with chemical weapons. We have amazing capabilities. 1 airfield hit, the one that launched and received the planes.

That's a GREAT and measured response.

We didn't declare war. We aren't saying there are more attacks to come. We spanked them. We are saying to the world: you play with this stuff and you can expect to hear from us.

This is FAR FARRRRRRR from isolationist America First though. :) Prove me wrong again Trump. Go start working on South Sudan. ;)

No joke. Good job tRump.

Good job Trump,

That's a GREAT and measured response.

Wait?? You can't be serious... April Fool's Day was Saturday.

I was shocked too.
Hey Rew, I think your account got hacked.

I give Trump credit for having the courage to make that descision and especially to listen to his security council.

No Zika bites yet. ;)

Dang Russians everywhere.

Well done President Trump

Trump did exactly what I thought was a correct response.
Right here ...

Finally a CiC who has the balls to bitchslap the world's despots.

I wonder if he has a tommyhawk app on his cellphone to initiate the launch?

The interesting things now, because this was so fast, are:

- Russia
- What air corridors in Syria become problematic for us in fight against IS
- Iran

We also have Rangers and other troops, 400+, on the ground near Raqqa helping Syrian forces to train up to take the city from IS. The region got a whole lot less friendly tonight.

So, right response, on a time table faster than I thought would be done.

Boooo-hissssssss.

Flashback from the past: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-23876085
2013. Russia brokered Syria chemical weapons disarmament deal. Controlled and monitored by Russia. For that, Putin was praised like a knight in shiny armor because he averted international crisis.
"Brokered disarmament", LOL.
"He'll set up a meeting with someone that you absolutely trust, guaranteeing your safety. And at that meeting, you'll be assassinated."

Lashkar_i_Trumpi says

Yep, not happy right now about this. Bomb the hell out of ISIS, not secular Syria.

Do both. Did Obama ever bomb any of Assad's facilities? I believe the vast majority of US bombing and ground force action in Syria has targeted ISIS until today.

I think it is smart to target Assad's military bases in response to the use of chemical weapons. We can't live in a world where the use of chemical weapons is tolerated. We can't let that genie out of the bottle and it deserves a special response.

Save a missile for the Headquarters Building of NAR in Chicago.

Ironman says

You just got an education on "words (Obama)" versus "actions (Trump)"...

1 retaliatory strike does not a President make.

This.
Obama's red line incident enabled this week's chemical attack.
Despots only understand force.

They understand more than that, but they will take whatever they can get away with.

Hope he killed a Russian.
Trump took action: 5 deferments.
It was hard work!

Trump may get to see PUTIN in action.

What will the reaction be by other Muslims?

Ironman says

I see, so these actions by Obama were so much better?

No, he wasn't with regards to Syria.

But, Trump hasn't done enough to hang his hat on and make the investigations and resistance against him stop. He has put 1 point up on the board so far, for me, his entire 60+ days. He is still a national embarrassment of a President. I don't see that changing.

HEY YOU says

Hope he killed a Russian.

Unlikely. Appears we communicated this was coming, strongly. Loss of life was probably minimal. We rendered the air strip ineffective, and blew up whatever trash wasn't in hardened bunkers.

Edit: above is my read right now based on what news outlets are saying. In 48 hours this becomes a lot clearer.

Also, I'll add, this is going to do wonders with regards to China and N. Korea. We look like Bush Era America here, which means we absolutely WILL police the world if we want to. China, you want us to setup a patrol in your area of the world? No? Ok then. What can you do for us?

The only important question; Who's PISSED OFF now?

Ironman says

You don't want to mess with this guy, that's for sure.

HEY YOU says

Putin will just whine.

Who cares?
