Our problems are here. Striking Syria will make the problems here even much worse. Listening to Bolton is like using a hair dryer in the bathtub.

No delay, as reported elsewhere. Just a smooth, steady prep. The scramble are the Assad apologies that are freaking out that we might act. I still wonder that these folks back Russian and Iranian backed Assad over the US, France, Britain. And Israel. So much for allegiances. Would they have done the same in the run up to December 1941? I mean that seriously. This week was Holocaust memorial and here we people that have forgotten that lesson, that apologize, excuse, and some even approve of gassing people. Incredible.

How many Americans were killed in the chemical attack in Syria?

How many Americans are killed by illegal aliens?

National security starts with border security and interior enforcement.

Syria is not a threat to US.

I don’t think Assad did it.
I think it was a setup.

If we’re gonna be bombing national security threats, I suggest we skip the intermediary and start with Iran.

If you are worried about remembering the lessons of the Holocaust why would you want America to join ISIS?

Let the Israelis smash Hezbollah and the Iranians into the ground as part of the strikes. Israel should also be allowed to take some Syrian territory to expand their buffer zone as a penalty.

Somehow 12 ships and armada just don't go together when one thinks about TF 38 of the 3rd Fleet in WWII which consisted of 8 Fleet Carriers, 8 light carriers, 6 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, 58 destroyers.

I do realize the difference in firepower and capability though. Just focusing on the numbers.
