I was kind of amazed watching the earlier coverage on nightline, and seeing Martha RadDITZ practically regurgitate all over herself praising the decision to launch cruise missiles.

How the lefties cry about how someone's going to start WW III in one breath, and then praise violence that potentially could in the next has always amazed me.

That said, this action, as with most things Trump does, was an eloquent maneuver of just the right message, at just the right time, in just the right way.......You gotta wonder what's going thru the minds of folks like, Putin, Xi, Jong Il, and to a lesser extent, and even more irrelevant, Assad himself.

I just hope that there is no serious retaliation.

Somehow, I don't think that Kim Jong-un is shaking in his boots.

Why would you think that?

I think this was mostly a test run for a strike against N. Korea to see how successful the Tomahawks would be in taking our selected targets.

This attack is different. Gas on babies and kids that's beyond sick. On top of that wasn't Syria not suppose to have this type of weapon?

Never mind that Trump's action yesterday was exactly opposite previous positions.
Exactly why Republicans are some of the biggest hypocrites around. Obama tries to get Congress involved and Republicans say no, not our problem. Trump doesn't get Congress's approval and Republicans cheer.

I was here and the Obama haters were calling it fake, he didn't really die and so on and so on. It was really pathetic but them again most cons are.

It's even funnier to watch certain Democrat politicians take the same position as Vladimir Putin.

There is a reason why past presidents both democrats and republican have not messed with Syria. They understand Russia is a major Syrian allie. We screw with Syria, we screw with Russia and World War 3 begins. Trump never thinks things through. He acts on impulse.

No what's funny is seeing the same politicians who were against Obama acting on Syria now cheering Trump acting on Syria.
