it’s absurd to lose your mind over $100 million of well placed guided munitions stuck firmly up a dictators tailpipe. it’s chump change, really.

laura ingram was yelling “we’re broke” on her show tonight. we’re not broke. that’s just irrational. the people objecting to this limited air strike are destroying their credibility by insisting that it’s somehow going to directly and immediately lead to the end of civilization.

maximum hysteria.

I’ve been saying it all night; what a weird thread.

Your argument for bombing is "we can afford it"? How about the effectiveness argument? The 59 TLAM's we lobbed into Syria a year ago didn't prevent this chlorine attack. Why risk unintended consequences (Russia doing something stupid) for little or no results? Posturing? Political points? "Teach 'em a lesson"? World Police Force? Or ?

Would like to know what changed President Trump's mind...he was very critical of the Obama administration but he does the same thing?

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

"In August 2013, Assad’s regime killed more than 1,400 people in a chemical weapons attack on the city of Damascus. Obama wanted to strike Syria in retaliation, but he chose to ask Congress to authorize his use of military force. Obama couldn’t get enough votes to pass his proposal, so he did not order strikes fired in direct retaliation for the chemical attacks."
