    So you do not believe conventions against the use of chemical and biological agents should be enforced?

    Properly vetted refugees are fine.
    They condemn this brutal Saudi-inspired corruption that results in a political system of conquest and tyranny posing as a "religion". There is frustration expressed with the wider muslim world that remains silent, but to be fair, they are probably more scared of these murdering *******s than we are, because frankly they kill far more of their fellow muslims than anyone else.
    Blithering nonsense. Take Christianity and the Westborough Church. They are a bunch of crazed zealots, and we enjoy freedom of association and most of us don't like crazed zealots. So they are a loudmouthed group, rarely even hit a hundred members, loudly condemned by the wider Christian church, and nobody even gets upset if bikers push them around some if they show up to disrupt funerals.

    Now, imagine if the GDP of the US had been run through this church for 50 years, and this church had set up seminaries and churches throughout the world and you have a fairly decent analogue to this Saudi-inspired and financed extremism.
    He's been warned. They all have.

    As usual, there are a certain number of people who seem to think they know all, and yet demonstrate they know very little, and will call one a "hater" if they point out the obvious lies of Trump.

    In 2013 the same kinds of pictures of dead children, and others, were splattered all over the news. Yet Trump was not "moved" by these pictures, and neither were the Republicans. And both told Obama not to intervene, and the Republicans would not give Obama the authority to bomb. Perhaps Obama should have violated the Constitution like Trump did. But then they would have denigrated him for doing so.

    Since 2013 there have been numerous pictures of children dying trying to escape the killing fields in Syria, and even one picture widely distributed showing a child that had drowned when the smugglers boat sank. And what was the response of the right, and Trump? Ban Muslims from entering the US even after they have endured 2-4 years of extreme "vetting".. In other words, let them die. In fact, that was the attitude of Trump until he found he could use this tragedy to his own benefit. The right called it "wag the dog" when it was Clinton bombing Serbia.

    Does anyone know what the "National Security Interest" was that justified this attack? Does anyone know why there are no plans to bomb, or invade, No. Korea which is obviously a threat to our national security? Does anyone know what comes next?

    All right. The Syrian army haven't chemical weapons. But the terrorists have chemical weapons. If you have an ounce of brains in the Internet there are many pictures about this...

    Assad's govt. is exactly where Saddam Hussein trucked his WMDs to, in the SIX MONTHS of completely unsupervised "olly-olly in free" time the Dems and UN provided him, before the Iraq War. NONSTOP semi convoys into Syria that entire time. Then off to Russia with them. Read the "Duelfer Report" on WMDs....only one who told the truth about itl

    C'mon Joe, can't the left learn from what's going on in Europe. Folks culture from the middle east simply isn't compatible with western life styles. It's like mixing oil and water....no good. It's quite disingenuous to assert that we don't want to save them, but we do want what's best by allowing the refugees to re-settle into the surrounding countries where their life styles are far more compatible. It's bizarre and egotistical of the left to think everyone around the world wants to be like us. Get over it my friend.

    USA has killed huge numbers of civilians in Mosul. But you won't hear about this on CNN or other sh_tty channel. Now your country attacked a sovereign state without any investigation. Your country is full of sh_t because


    If you have any brains at all. Think about it. Trump says that the towers were blown up from the inside.

    “Never true and mostly stupid” PolitiFact has withdrawn its previous assessment of the alleged removal of chemical weapons from Syria under the Obama administration as “mostly true.” PolitiFact’s revised assessment is posted here. The current update declares PolitiFact agnostic pending further review. Hemingway compiles some of the evidence that the Obama administration not only knew that Syria had chemical weapons, but that the administration persisted saying otherwise when it knew better. Sean Keeley’s posts that the Obama administration knew its line regarding the removal of chemical weapons was — a lie. Keeley recalls:

    In Congressional testimony last February, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Crapper acknowledged “gaps and inconsistencies in Syria’s declaration,” validating reports that Syria was still hiding banned chemicals at undisclosed locations. And on its way out the door in January of this year, the Obama Treasury quietly introduced new sanctions against Syrian officials involved in chemical warfare. Buried in the language sanctioning a particular official was a telling admission: “As of 2016, Abbas has continued operating at locations in Syria associated with chemical warfare-related missions.”

    Whether or not the Obama Administration knew of this particular sarin facility, then, they clearly knew that Syrians were still clinging to their stockpiles at several locations. They knew what Adam Garfinkle has been saying all along: that Obama’s deal to remove chemical weapons was not a historic diplomatic triumph but an unenforcable sham that the Syrians and Russians never intended to comply with.

    Lying Scum!

    Known Liar, Susan Rice, assured a National Public Radio audience of the Obama administration’s success removing chemical weapons in Syria.

    Why does everyone forget that terrorists also have chemical weapons? All cases of chemical attacks blame to the Syrian army.

    The US and the coalition are killing Iraqis and Syrians. Not only ISIS.

    The US has slaughtered babies in war by the tens of thousands. Our country is probably the biggest war criminal country of all time because of our sanctimonious attitude toward everyone else while we commit war crimes without a second thought. No one is more vicious in war than America. We are directly responsible for the mayhem in the Middle East at this time. It has been our national policy since 1943 to change the political system in the Middle East http://www.nisk.k12.ny.us/fdr/1943/43_gifs/large/43030603.GIF.

    Don't forget how we bombed those Americans in Philadelphia and burned those Americans alive in Waco.

    The US is Israel's stooge, doing its dirty work of destroying one of its major enemies. The fighting will continue until everything has been destroyed.

    Well the Trump doctrine is still emerging so it's hard to say what it will be once developed. But if it turns out that its "if you use chemical weapons on children" The air bases and air assets you used for those attacks will get a Tomahawk visit" would you be aghast?

    Even though there is a natural reluctance to admit agreement Trump's actions, there seems to be wide agreement with Trump's actions. I'm, let's face it, these missiles are expensive, Trump is cost conscious, and if anyone gets to happy about it, he might send them a bill for the missiles he used that made them so happy.
