Trump announces U.S. military strikes in Syria
Fox News.com ^ | April 13, 2018 | Matt Richardson

President Trump on Friday announced that he has approved military strikes in Syria against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The decision follows a suspected chemical gas attack from the Assad regime on a rebel-held town near the Syrian capital last weekend.

The United States launched the response, along with assurance from France and the United Kingdom, Trump stated.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the operation is currently targeting the "clandestine chemical arsenal" in Syria.

"This evening I have authorized British armed forces to conduct coordinated and targeted strikes to degrade the Syrian Regime’s chemical weapons capability and deter their use," British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.

Trump's announcement immediately preceded reports of loud explosions lighting up the sky in Damascus. Syrian TV reported that Syrian air defenses have responded to the U.S.-British-French attack.

Trump said the U.S. is prepared to "sustain" pressure on Assad until he ends what the president called a criminal pattern of killing his own people with internationally banned chemical weapons. It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump meant the allied military operation would extend beyond the initial nighttime round of missile strikes.

Who gives a damn is we rid the world of Assad's chemical weapons by dropping a few bombs?

You didn't rid the world of one damned thing.

I had Viking Kittie REM sleep dreams of waking to the smoldering landscape this morning! Ozone always brings refreshing sleep.

You could tell that he had realized his mistakes where grave. He was emotionally out of control and posted his OPUS to Jim Robinson on a post to another Freeper.

TDS meltdown is not a pretty thing to watch

yep just a troll playing conservatives against each other

This is why I prefer to sit back and watch instead of screeching and scratching like many do. Sometimes threads like this are fun to observe.. not so much in this case :/

You are incredibly ignorant.

The South African government has ordered White farmers to leave their homes and their belongings. Whites are being raped and slaughtered in their homes. That sounds like a genocide to me. That’s how the German genocide of the Jews started.

Are you just uneducated or do you support the racism and genocide? I haven’t seen you on FR before, are you a DU troll?

I’m honestly embarrassed for you.

Hit a nerve did I, snowflake?

You chicken hawks are incredibly hostile and intolerant of any dissenting views. That’s not surprising though, since you agree with the left that Syria should be under the control of radical islamists.

Take a midol, neocon snowflake.

You are an interesting DU troll. Did you watch the video, to see how the definition of genocide fits perfectly on South Africa’s reality? ... No, you just continue to expose your DU roots. Crimson Tide Lady is entitled to a mistake in identity, but you? Not so much. You’ve exposed your dead soul, creep.
