Trump does nothing, makes billions. Trump does everything, makes billions. Everything that happens in the world makes Trump billions. In his first three months, Trump has becomes richer than the whole world combined. Republicans bought and paid by special interest. Cheney second richest an in the world thanks to Iraq war. Democrats bought and paid by wall street? "lulz, need proof." Pay to play Clinton Foundation? "lulz, need proof." Clinton Foundation shuts door a week after election because they are no longer getting donations. "lulz, still need proof".

Pretty fair take from many different angles. What's the end game here? The US can't remove Assad with air strikes alone.
It might help if we stop telling him, when are about to surprise attack. I'm guessing that would be a sound tactical strategy.
The missile strikes were merely a statement, not some sort of tactical attack meant to blunt Assad's effort in a meaningful way. Syria will come down to whether Russia and to a lesser extent China can be convinced or bartered with to remove Assad.
How come it wasn't a "sneak attack" - Russia, and by extension, their Syrian allies - were warned in advance...basically meaning they blew up some empty concrete.
They didn't want to destroy the airport. If they wanted to destroy the airport, it would be a massive burning hole.
Trump creates tension with Russia by bombing Syria Russia retaliates with strong rhetoric and threat of proxy wars Trump "negotiates" peace with Russia; lifting sanctions on Russia in exchange for access to Syria Trump and Putin wins Nobel Peace Prize for avoiding a war that was made up to begin with to accomplish the original goal of lifting Russian sanctions
Sweet. Both Trump and surprisingly even Hillary get to look masterful. Also cruise missiles cost $1.5 million a piece. A win win win for the establishment.
I don't have an answer to that, but "let's try something other than what we know doesn't work" seems to be the most reasonable course of action. I cannot believe the US is again about to get into another war with the same exact line used to get us into Iraq '03. Oh wait a minute, some wise man once said that history repeats itself, so I suppose this makes perfect sense. You have "incontrovertible proof" + a nasty dictator = Invasion, only now we get to fund and train, get this, Al-Qaeda and possibly ISIS to take down the Arab Hitler! Ha! Eat that Barnum & Bailey! To be fair, Tillerson did state that he did not want to get into another Libya, so we shall see shortly what becomes of this. Yet if the will of the people is to again go down this path, I say force the hand - no more borrowed time: Enact a war tax up front on the public and make it payable immediately without forcing our grandchildren's grandchildren to foot the bill. You want it. You pay for it. No more play now pay later. We are 20 trillion in debt and in less than 15 years at projected economic growth the entire entitlements system will be unable to pay its recipients. What happened to fiscal responsibility? I think people cringe at the word these days because it can't possibly enter into any conversation about the ability of the government to balance its budget. That's how loony it has gotten. On a cautionary note, 3 trillion dollars and 1+ million lives later, how's Iraq turning out for us? Hmmm, no control over the oil, but we did employ prison camps there that gave birth to ISIS. As for the sickening atrocity that got the "beautiful" Tomahawks flying through the Syrian night sky, when are we going to send a few to Saudi Arabia for atrocity below? I mean, it wasn't sarin, but it did kill 140 using the nasty, nasty double-tap method. I don't think this one got the Humanitarian War Trumpets blasting though. I wonder why, because it's Yemen? I mean, who cares about Yemen?
Come on, man. Ease up. Those people all have black beards and their language sounds weird. At least it wasn't a mini-nuke this time. I pray to the Christian God that America kills many many more people (for justice). Mini nuke in Yemen FTW!
LOL, you do know that this wasn't really a "mini-nuke" right? This was a strike on a weapons cache and what you are seeing is a massive secondary explosion. LOL...."mini nuke" SMH.
https://youtu.be/vm7ObVSix7w Started watching some of the suggested videos -- if you can turn your BS meter off for a few minutes and/ or mute the commentary and yelling there are some amazing explosions to be seen. I wish a decent source would edit out all the nonsense -- I can't imagine seeing something go off like that go off in person.
