Earlier, several Turkish newspapers had reported that 12 people from Syria's al Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front who allegedly had been planning an attack inside Turkey and were in possession of 2 kg (4.5 pounds) of sarin, had been detained in Adana.
Back in 2013. Who has this crap? Its not just Syria. They are running the same scam again.
He just went in. I guess it is time to disown him. Sad!
Haha. Fact check by posting opinion article from the Mexican Owned Blog Known as the New York Times?
Trump is damned if he does and he damned if he doesn't with some people.
Now they cry because he actually wants to do something about Syria and ignore that the whole mess was caused by Obama failing to keep his promise about the "Red Line".
Every president inherits some mess by the previous president. Obama inherited the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump didn't inherit anything about Syria from Obama. This is all on him from what happens now going forward

Also, Rex Tillerson never worked for Obama. He made a clueless statement last week that could have prompted the latest attack. Of course I'm not blaming the situation in Syria on Trump. However, he should just lead and stop blaming the previous administration.

Totally false narrative spread by the right-wing. I guess they assume most people have short attention spans.

I’m prepared to give that order,” Mr. Obama said in a hurriedly organized appearance in the Rose Garden as American destroyers armed with Tomahawk missiles waited in the Mediterranean Sea. “But having made my decision as commander in chief based on what I am convinced is our national security interests, I’m also mindful that I’m the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.”
The majority of Republicans voted "NO"
Whether someone agrees or disagrees that Trump should have ordered the strike, he did not get the approval of Congress (from what I've read)
In a statement condemning Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria, President Trump faulted the administration of former President Barack Obama for not intervening more aggressively in that country’s civil war — contradicting his own, earlier advice.
“Today’s chemical attack in Syria against innocent people, including women and children, is reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilized world,” Mr. Trump said in the statement released by the White House. “These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration’s weakness and irresolution.”[MOD Cut/copyright] Fact Check: Trump, Faulting Obama on Syria, Contradicts Himself
He is the biggest POS-HYPOCRITE in history! I am no fan of Obama or Clinton, but man I hope his plane crashes on his next trip!
Trump didn't criticize Obama for not going after Assad.
He criticized Obama for drawing a "red line" and then doing nothing when Assad violated that red line.
That showed weakness and made other countries think that they could get away with anything.
Trump has made it clear that he isn't into drawing red lines. He is simply going to act when he thinks it is appropriate. And he is going to do it without warning.
President Obama DID NOT draw a red line and then change his mind. He went to Congress and the Republicans voted against him. He had the missiles ready to launch.

I don't know if it was because the USA should have done more or whatever but assigning blame instead of offering up a solution or just prayers was unnecessary, self serving, cruel, tasteless, immature, ridiculous....

That's the way it should be.
So you think he's a dictator and shouldn't get Congressional approval and do whatever and whenever he wants when he thinks it is appropriate?
Can I just remind all of you stuck on facts -- Trump hasn't done anything yet.
He so much as said that in his press conference...he has changed his thinking...
"My attitude to Syria and Assad has changed very much. You are now talking about a whole different level. What happened yesterday is unacceptable to md."
Plus -- if you back -- he did make 12 Tweets saying Obama shouldn't do ANYTHING at all back in the day.
You can try and spin that -- but doesn't matter where who reproduces those 12 tweets -- they are 12 actual tweets he put out...those are his words above.
Go back to your little world and pretend he's being so awesome.
I guess you've never changed your mind about anything.
Right?
