Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi endorse Trump's attack in Syria
Washington Examiner ^ | 2017-04-06 | Anna Giaritelli

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi broke with fellow Democrats who had criticized President Trump's military action against Syria to endorse the move late Thursday.

"Making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do," Schumer said in a statement released late Thursday. "I salute the professionalism and skill of our Armed Forces who took action today."

"Tonight's strike in Syria appears to be a proportional response to the the regime's use of chemical weapons," Pelosi said in a statement.

If Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey supported your action, you likely screwed up.

Liberals idea of US foreign policy seems to be that the US cant get any benefit from it, and if it costs us or hurts us even better.

But overall its a safe symbolic move.

Nope it’s right. It was so right that even the radical leftist wing nuts can’t disagree.

So confused...me, not President Trump. Gassed people in another country is bad, but was it our problem? Thought we were going to stay out of the business of other nations. Pelosi agreeing to this for SURE makes ur questionable.

Trump was having dinner with the Chinese President when the attack occurred.

Hopefully, this happened.

Everyone is enjoying their soup when Trump’s military aide walks up to the table.

The aide looks at Trump and says, “Mister President, the missiles have hit the target.”

Trump says “Thanks” and the aide leaves.

Trump looks at the Chinese President and says, “How you liking that soup? Want some more crackers?”

Maybe it's wrong to let what liberals say be the basis for our own opinions.

Why are pelosi and schumer saying they approve?

Are they speaking truthfully?

Only Congress has to power to declare war. Trump broke the Constitution.

That is BS in it’s purest form. There is no Constitutional prohibition against Congress Abdicating its responsibility and giving blanket military powers to a president (The War Powers Act). The Congress has given blanket power for any president to take “limited” military action without a declaration of war. Get Over it!

Their endorsement, de facto, exposes the Syria intervention as a bad thing.

When those that have been viscerally opposed to everything you say of do suddenly agree with you chances are that you’ve made a blunder.

They know that Trump has now put his neck in a noose.
No reason for our involvement in Syria.
