It's causing their heads to explode here.

When they thought Trump wasn't going to do anything they faulted him for it.

When Trump said he would deal with it, they did a 180 and faulted him for that too.


Now the latest.... He changed his mind which is supposed to be bad too.

"Clean up on isle three!"

Priceless!

Not sure how it will take before they will make their usual 180!

They also showed Hillary saying that airport needs to be attacked which President Trump did so it seems liberals have one day of searching what and how to start the bashing again!

I'm not holding my breath of this being a new beginning as later today or tomorrow the bashing for sure will be started again.

Liberal Hollywood will probably be quiet too as the images of babies, toddles, kids and aldults being gassed like under Nazi germany is something we should be able to agree to that it is off limits and action needs to be taken and President Trump took action!
What's priceless is that when Obama took exactly the same action against Libya the GOP pounced on him. They said he needed Congressional approval, among other things. When Trump does it, nothing but praise from the usual suspects.

The overall question in my mind is if this action was in response to the chemical attack that killed civilians. Well, two weeks ago, Trump lowered Obama's standard for determining targets and almost immediately, a bombing killed over 200 civilians. It seems to be worthy of retaliation when Syria does it but we don't even get a change of policy when we do it. Nor do we get anyone held accountable.

Causing heads to explode...

I expected a measured but definite military response from President Trump. He delivered.

I wonder if Putin gave Assad enough of a heads up to give him time to get his most vital assets out of the way of harm?

LOL!

You present Libya as example of correct action? Obama & Hillary turned that into a disaster.

It was not the same action. It was an unnecessary war of choice by the those two idiots. We are also in the same situation in Syria because of Obama. Now Trump is forced to deal with it. It's not the same at all.

It is such a fine line. Do I think we should just stay out of Syria's government and focus on fighting terrorist in the region, yes. On the other hand, how do we allow a leader of a government to gas his own innocent civilians? Wasnt he not supposed to have chemical weapons anymore?
While I do not think we should go in and oust him, I do believe strategic military action that reduces Syria's governments ability to carry out these attacks are warranted.
Also, I guess the alleged love fest between Putin and Trump is officially over. Thank god.

It is certainly no secret that I dislike everything about Trump and everything he does, but I have to admit I am not sure I totally disagree with this missile attack. Maybe it is a positive thing for us to have a loose cannon in the WH in the respect that foreign adversaries might consider him unpredictable and not be so willing to pull stunts like the gas attack so easily. You don't poke sticks at crazy people.

I have to say that he did not pull any punches here, he went right to the throats of the Syrians. It may prove to be a horrible decision, and get us into some war we do not want, but at least we did not pussyfoot around and try to make nice-nice with them.

Can't believe I am actually saying Trump may have done something good !

Trumpers - "Donald Trump is tough on Syria!"


But just three years ago, Trump:

Obama request approval from Congress to act in Syria and the Congress didn't act. (See: Obama Seeks Approval by Congress for Strike in Syria, AUG. 31, 2013

Majority Of Republicans Said 'No' When Obama Wanted To Launch A Strike On Syria | The Huffington Post)

Never mind that Trump's action yesterday was exactly opposite previous positions.

Calm down.

No one's head is exploding WK. Many people, myself included, who abhor Trump acknowledge this was probably the right move if a bit fast and sort of out of nowhere.

When you can learn to discuss the topic at hand instead of the people you are talking to, you might get somewhere.
