Team Trump called ahead and told them they were going to bomb, which is yet another action he has mocked others for doing.
Overwhelming hypocrisy.
Very true. Things are a little different in the Oval Office than they are in Trump Tower or the campaign trail. Most people understand this and aren't so bombastic with their opinions lest said opinions come back to bite them in the ass. As has now happened to Trump.
Hardly. Obama sat on his hands and did nothing. Bush did a full invasion. Trump did a calculated strike not using any manned aircraft but missiles. Huge differences.
There has been thousands of bombing runs in the past few years, so I am not sure how one strike is a big deal but 10 000 is "sitting on your hands".
I challenge you to post any link where I've said that all the media is fake.

You'll have to refresh my memory if you want to. I remember Obama drawing a red line and when it was crossed, did nothing.
Congress denied his request for authority to use military force against Assad.
He has authority to combat terrorists, and that authority has been exercised thousands of times in Syria and Iraq.
Congress made a big stink for Obama attacking Ghaddaffi in Libya, so he went to Congress to get authority to go against Assad, but they would not grant it. So, Congress ruled NO, and Trump went against that ruling.
IMO, that was Obama's way of sitting on his hands and blaming Congress for his lack of action. He didn't need Congress's approval to perform limited airstrikes. But this now isn't about Obama.
That's a cue to sleeper cells everywhere to spring into action now. Americans everywhere will be a target, and the public beheading of Western people will begin again.
We've already been a target.
Talk about making excuses -- this is the worst one I've heard.
Why not just surrender to the Caliphate and be done with it?
He didn't need to ask for permission and he knew it.
He used Congress as an excuse to do nothing.
Typical Obama -- no leadership.
Hmmm.
If he didn't need to ask permission, then why are some in Congress now faulting Trump for failing to ask permission? Clearly there must be some precedence to do so if one president asked for permission and another is getting flack for not doing so.
