"Senior administration official: Strike should not be interpreted as beginning of wider campaign to weaken or remove Assad.
In typical Trump fashion, the missile strike was a big showy empty gesture that was intended to get the president some good press.
You realize the article you quote as "news" is actually ALL opinion right? Does any military action have to be about removing Assad? Can't it just be about a warning to Assad to stop using WMD's (that are internationally outlawed) against his own people aka innocent women and children?
Why does targeted and limited military force have to be about regime change or a broadening of our involvement? It doesn't...
No, actually it makes no sense at all. Of course unless you support the gassing of women and children?
I guess Trump could've followed the Obama doctrine and sent a strongly worded stern letter about some imaginary "red line"...
Obama requested authority to use force in Syria. Republicans in Congress told him no and threatened to impeach him. The lack of action in Syria is the fault of Republicans, not Obama.

In 2013 Obama backed off as there was no proof or link from the alleged chemical attack to Assad.
In 2017 Trump pulled a Leerrroyyy Jeeeeenkins! and charged in without waiting for evidence or proof.
Exactly. It was military action with no policy to back it up. A very dangerous situation.
Trump should look at Bush 2 and the Iraqi incursion. That was another military action with no policy to back it up.
How'd that work out?
Well, there wasn't supposed to be any WMD's in Syria to begin with. I mean, according to Obama and Rice (as recently as this January) those were all removed long ago.
How can Obama and Susan Rice's most ardent supporters measure what they've said against what we now know to be true (that they still retain WMD's and have all along) and still defend them?

We don't know if they retained them, made them, or got them from Russia.

There is no proof or evidence of what outlawed chemical was used or by whom - but that didn't stop fake facts Trump from charging in.
There are two competing rebel forces in this district - ISIS and Al Qaeda linked. Neither supported by the last Administration.
Ahh. So you are stating that in Syria there is Assad and 3 different sets of rebels fighting each other. It gets more & more complicated as you try to explain why it wasn't Assad. LOL
Must feel strange for you to be allying yourself with the Syrian dictator & Putin. But then again it's all that Trump's detractors have left.
