The US is bombing Syria now along with EU allies as retaliatory punishment for alleged chemical attack.
It's Desperate Donnie again. If things go badly in a bigly way, start a war. We are bombing Syria because Syria bombed Syria, and if they do it again we might be back. We are locked and loaded. It was the children, you know.
Meanwhile, there is no news on that caravan of rapists and drug dealers coming up through Central America by way of Mexico that only Donnie seemed to know about. I'm not sure if our National Guard shot of stopped anyone, but I think Brown sent a few Guardsmen from Califonia to help monitor the scene.
Here's a link to a blog on the Guardian site that is updating this with different perspectives and new info as it becomes available: [theguardian.com]

Not an accusation just a question.
@SimonMorgan1 rt is english language russian tv.. posted a link to a wiki about the station but it didnt stick.
@SimonMorgan1 lol! sometimes it works that way!
The craziness of bombing a poison gas facility near a population, because exposing people to poison gas is bad, makes me think our leaders are the insanely stupid. Do they think that poison gas magically disappears when bombed? We are responsible for the harm we cause. We desperately needs smarter leaders!
It's an international illegal action even if it's a coalition action. The ASSad regime did not suffer much dammages because Russia told them to move their military ASSets to Russian bases. Russia is asking for a UN special council and could be proven right on the illegality of this action. Now Israel is more deeply involved. The Syrian civilian population is more terrorized by every super power. Wow win-win-win for everyone (*sarcasm alert)!
This one in particular does not make sense (to me anyway). Please try to keep the discussion civil an objective as much as possible... My point is this and I am going to use a metaphor here: There is trouble in a neighborhood (any place is good as any other) and then a force comes in plowing the shit out of everything. Yes, you fixed the problem but lost the entire neighborhood. Here is my question, how does that help?
It doesn't because it's not about the neighborhood it's about the oil underneath it
Good point... Shouldn't the neighborhood focus in doing bussiness instead of whatever we think is going on over there?
@SimonMorgan1
...and the desires of the Israeli government and leaders who bride our Politicians. They see this as a way to destroy a bunch of Moslems without getting their hands dirty.
Oh I hope the intel was good all around. This could get nasty fast if anything was wrong and even if it wasn't. The only possible good is at least we didn't go in alone this time.
On the other side - the president seemed to say - we are ok with you killing your own people just don't use 'illegal' weapons...
Who really knows what the agenda is.....
You are not the only one..... time will tell
Are they like the weapons of mass destruction in Irak?
Yup
I thought so
Again, my question - why now? It seems a neat piece of distraction and misdirection.
Are we hitting the pee stockpiles in russia?
@iamjc sorry... it was a joke referring to latest information provided about the infamous "Steele Dozier" and the description of our uncommander in chief actions with 2 prostitutes in russia. Details are over the news so to change the narrative thus the syrian attact... wagging the dog.
Somebody wants us to stop thinking about the investigation.
More likely it had to do with Syria's recent chemical attack. Note that I am NOT a Trump supporter.
Mueller had better get a move on before 45 ups the ante on his distractions too high.
@dahermit yeah, you believe that wh mouthpiece.
@GipsyOfNewSpain No...I do not believe anything they say...but even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn. Syria gassed...Trump had to respond or appear weak. That does not change the fact that he is an ass....ipe.
@dahermit trump is as much an expert in middle east diplomacy as you are.
@GipsyOfNewSpain You have made an assumption based on your emotional political investment.
@dahermit and you had made an ass of yourself based on your comsumption of foxnews dispersed koolaid. But is Okay, I know, I know... I am being Rude and Hostile to you just because you repeated the government version of a current event.
@LimitedLight Funny when even the Dummy gets it but our politicians don't.
@GipsyOfNewSpain No, you are being rude because you are too stupid to realize that I am not a Trump supporter or believe any of the propaganda that Fox News produces. If you have read my former posts, you will see that I am likely more anti-Trump (and Republican/Conservative) than you are.
