Trumps recent strike on Syria seems to have surprised many of us. Which of the following is your position?
A. President Trump was right to attack Syria for the gas attacks. B. I wish Trump did not attack Syria.
We should be fighting ISIS. Every time we have meddled, things have ended up worse like in Iraq, Libya, etc. After all these years we are still in Iraq and all because Bush lied about WMD.
B
According to Tillerson the administration knows exactly where the Sarin gas is stored at the airport. He says the last attack was the third, not the first. This isn’t new, they been watching for a while. They know what kind of Syrian bomber flew the mission and that it was loaded at that airport. They know the name of the pilot. They know the Russians were present when the bombs were loaded.
The Security Council approved the strike unanimously. That sounds like people acting on intel that’s as good as it gets, which doesn’t mean perfect, as none is.
I’m guessing Israel can be thanked for a lot of this information.

Glad?......
You seem downright ecstatic.
A
No.
I wouldn’t support if it were not Trump either.
Not our country.
Not our religion.
Not our war
A. This is as far as I want him to go.
A if Assad used the gas.
A
Reminiscent of T Roosevelt.
Citizens of Syria, Assad did you wrong.
BTW
Present the Syrian AFB with 60 Tommyhawks, it is WWI anniversary day.

Tried to keep score...
A-43
B-27
Didn’t count C’s Ds or ifs.
I’m still undecided. What I am sure of:
1) I question the wisdom of our involvement in the whole sordid mess.
2) Given that we are involved, Trump’s carrying this out without telegraphing it ahead of time is how operations should be carried out.
3) I don’t trust a single word coming from the MSM and the intel community.
4) I don’t trust a single word coming from the Russian media or the Russian government.
5) I don’t trust a single word coming from the Syrian government.
6) I don’t trust a single word coming from any middle eastern government officials.
7) I don’t think Assad is any kind of a good guy.
8) I know for a damned fact that the “rebels” are jihadist scum.
9) I do think Trump has effectively sent a message that we can’t be pushed around like we were when zero was in office.
There’s a lot to digest here. I have not yet decided what I think of the whole thing on balance.
B
Not sure that I trust the intel that Trump is receiving.
If Assad did use chemical weapons, then I have no problem with Trump's response.
If he gassed anyone he deserved it.
Interesting...All the obvious female posters but maybe one say A
A
The fact that Demoncrats such as those you named and esp Hillary, supported the action, is why I voted B, NO WAY.
Glad you pointed this out.
It would be a meaningless attack if Trump isn't willing to go further if needed.
no more blood or treasure anywhere, put them on the southern border and let’s get the wall started already.
This was a VERY limited response and I vote “A”.
