Are you for or against Trump's missile attack on Syria? (John Kerry, McCain)

[snowmountains]

Just curious how many on each side. Thanks.

Well, seeing as 18 people were just killed in the same place the chemical weapons were used by planes flying out of the airbase Trump just bombed, I'd say it was a giant waste of money.

I'm conflicted. As time passes, I fear the 'show' was not big enough to really show any strength. Trump is claiming they didn't bother bombing the air strips because they can be easily fixed. Oh -- okay? But they didn't destroy enough of the base if they are flying planes out of there today right?

And if it was Assad....a show of strength may not do anything. The kind of man that gasses innocent people, isn't going to be impressed with that kind of thing. He's crazy -- he doesn't care.

BUT something had to be done. So i don't know....I'm conflicted.

Congress needs to authorize it not Trump!

[swbtoo]

I can't say since I don't have the information the administration and the military leaders have. Do you? Does anyone?

How can anyone here say they are for or against -- it would be nothing but baseless opinion (the way so much of it is anyway). And that kind of opinion, interesting at times, is worth every penny. LOL

No kidding.

This guy couldn't beat an 8-yo at pacman.

But other than its sheer ineffectiveness, the bombing was clearly not part of any thought-out strategy regarding either syria or russia, and his concern for dead syrian children is just crocodile tears.

Maybe he's taking too much viagra? Because this sure seems like he did it just because he can.

It was a proportional one-off hit.

58 missiles hit 44 targets at least once, one went into the drink, that is fact.

The USA might not be done with them yet.

I'm all for it.

I'm not surprised to see Trump detractors politicize this act like everything else.

You don't need to ask Congress in this one-off situation, what Obama did was Hand-wringing, same with Bill Clinton in Rowanda.

Turkey backs the US, Saudi Arabia backs the US., Syrian refugees back the US, Israel backs the U.S., etc. Schumer Pelosi and Juan Williams and perhaps even Hillary back the President's action. Oh, John McCain for God's sake.

Assad and Russia oppose. Eff them.

Which side do you stand on?

Then there's that puppet liar Susan Rice.

Do none of you liberals find it troubling that she had better intel on the Trump Team than Syrian Chemical Weapons? John Kerry, Obama, what a bunch of worthless idiots.

Trump did more on a Thursday afternoon to tell the world the U.S. of A. is back and don't Eff with us, than the Obama Administration did in 8 years.

No, that idiot just crammed his decisions through and vetoed everything Congress tried to do, so like Sinatra, Obama did it his way.

And he doesn't seem to have a problem with the travel ban either. Much to the chagrin of the CNN reporter.

Yeah, that's what I meant by Syrian refugee.

Lol at thinking Trump cares about following the law. He hasn't bothered yet. Why would you think he would ask Congress for permission?

Reminded me of Bill Clinton's missile strikes on Iraqi few months into office for its plot to kill George Bush, Sr.

[Big-Bucks]

Against. And I voted for Trump. I would still vote for Trump because Trump's domestic policy is GREAT. His foreign policy looks to be a carbon copy of Hillary Clinton's, so that's a push. Hopefully he can be steered away from the liberal John McCain war-monger types who are influencing his decisions.
