Adam Schiff just said he does not believe that this strike is legal. Would like to see Congress vote on an authorization.

On Twitter, lots of Trump's supporters are not happy about this at all. They think he's going against what he ran on.
A lot of people who support Trump on twitter are in all honesty, paid Putin trolls. This is a good thing.
You're endorsing a conspiracy theory from the left now?

Funny enough though, there are probably a lot of moderate democrats and republicans who agree with this.

You made a good point actually. Tongue

Anything to keep the narrative going and the cognitive dissonance from setting in.

You "moderate" Republicans are so typical. You talk about being pro-life and protecting the weak, yet when the US bombs a foreign country and starts a war that will certainly kill many innocents, you cheer. Screw off.
So we should just allow them to kill their own people?

You as a human have the right to protect others. Honestly, if you saw a man getting beaten would you try and stop the attacker? I would, i would try and help the man. Violence is not always the answer, but sometimes its the easiest one.

Wow. Although I think people who thought Trump would be some sort of dove are gullible morons, I really did not expect this from him at all, especially this quickly.

this is pure sugar.


Missiles flying. Rubio's happy. McCain ecstatic. Hillary's on board. A complete policy change in 48 hrs.

Sure, this is why we coordinate with other nations for relief and rescue. The US government thinks it's god damned World Police. We keep getting into wars that only end up inflicting more harm on the people we're supposedly trying to save, and then destroy our economies and sacrifice American lives in the process. Did you learn nothing from the Bush wars?

Our intervention will lead to more deaths, not less. The possibility for a quagmire is increasing by the hour. This is perhaps the worst possible scenario- we waited too long, and now are coming in right when Assad is the strongest.
Quagmire? And honestly i don't remember the Bush wars. I was too young Tongue

     Disappointing. Would that we could see a day when the United States stops getting involved in conflicts in other countries.

A quagmire is a situation which is hard to get out of and only gets worse the longer you stay in- think Iraq.
I don't know much about iraq, i was too young to like know/understand. All i know is we asserted ourselves, got into some fights, and it was a bad like war. I think. Not even sure if it was a war, or if we won.
