Did you support the attack on the secular government in Iraq as well that led to millions of refugees? Which other secular governments do you support bombing to help out jihadists?

Sorry, I don't see taking out Assad's airbases and airplanes as the big deal you're making it out to be.

Maybe people in Syria will stay there if Assad isn't sarin-gassing them.

And I might be mistaken, but to my knowledge the U.S. did not start the civil war in Syria that created the refugee crisis you are talking about.

The Syrians managed to do that all by themselves.

I support strategic bombing of governments that use chemical weapons that have been deemed against international law.

Some Congressional members were notified before the strike. As were some allies and Russia.

Using your (lack of) logic, Obama was in cahoots with Al Qaeda.

Obama struck Libya without consulting congress and then armed Al Qaeda to topple Libya's government.

What is $500 million worth of weapons to Al Qaeda anyways?

The fact that he discussed the strike with Moscow as opposed to US Congress proves he is indeed a puppet.

In other words, you didnt even want to wait for an international investigation. Just like Iraq, which I am sure you pushed for and argued hard that they should be bombed because....UN...WMD...use of chemical weapons...blablabla. Same old war mongering from you guys.

I think Trump's people discussed it with the Russians so that they would have time to prepare and not feel such a need to retaliate after our missile strike.

Trump may be a puppet but he's a puppet to his handlers, not the Russians.

Wrong again. The US contacted Russia through the deconfliction hotline in Syria that Obama set up. Get your facts straight. We didn't discuss anything with Russian officials. We directly advised the Russian military that we would be attacking the airfield in 30 minutues, you know, to avoid WWIII. Get your facts straight.
