Not when one can just say something did/didn't happen. That's the issue with Trump going in guns blazing. That he's being goaded into pulling stupid American Cowboy crap is just...it's not a good sign. And it wouldn't be a good sign regardless of who was in the Oval Office. It's be a terrible sign if it was Sanders doing this too. Though, I have a hard time believing a lot of stuff that's come out of the Oval recently would do so if Sanders were in there. Then again...maybe it would. We'll never know.

In retrospect, I should not have been surprised that this thread became another Snake versus Plastroncafe battle.
Oedipus Complex versus Cougar! I love you both too much to watch... please, someone, think of the not-yet-middle-aged-man who adores you both.

Two and a half months in and this already. Gonna be a fun four years...
I suppose followers of his that are warmongers can at least now claim he finally did something. Something beyond twitter rants and failing at other things. Also, he may have given orders to do it, but I bet Fox News told him to. |

Maybe if we're really lucky that Random Guy From Youtube will get a big enough following for the White House to take notice, and he could get an advisory position.

Great. It's Saddam Hussein all over again. He used chemical weapons so let's carpet bomb the country for a few years, then invade. Then it's like "Gee, where did all these refugees come from all of a sudden?"
I'm not trying to downplay the gas attack, but the missiles are going to kill a lot more people.

I kinda fail to see how this is a "globalist conspiracy". Seems more Neo-conny to me. Kicking brown people ass, just for the hell of it. You are right that he's mostly a puppet though. Some combination of Priebus/Pence/Bannon is absolutely telling him what to do. Just look at his cabinet. He was allowed to throw a bone to a few of his bootlicking campaign cheerleaders, but the rest have been actual conservatives who were highly critical of him. No way that thin skinned puss wanted any of them. Quote:

No. That **** always ends with civilian casualties. It basically just does the ISIS recruiters' jobs for them. Quote:
Snark aside, you're right about Congress having to approve this kind of stuff. Except all the R's and your precious, perfect D's signed the AUMF back in 2001. So of course Bush abused it, but so did The Chosen One, instead of fixing it. I thought he had a degree in Constitutional law? Hmm.... But it's weird and troubling that none of the non-interventionist members of Congress have tried to fix it after all these years. I'd say it's time. Also, gonna leave this here. Not that we didn't know that Donald was a lying, hypocritical oaf, but: Spoiler:

You're right, Johnson or Stein wouldn't do this. But that's mostly because they'll never see the inside of the Oval Office. Not so long as we have the Electoral College choosing our president
Here's to hoping the majority party of no actually gets up off their ass and does something for the first time in 10 years. We all deserve very than that.

So only 23 of the 50 missiles hit the target. 4 Syrian soldiers were killed, 6 planes, a hangar and 1 runway were destroyed.
Here's Hillary being all about it: http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politi...n-syria-assad/ Cuck Schumer loves it, along with the establishment Rs: http://abcnews.go.com/International/...ry?id=46639533 Quote:
That being said, an all around failure for any candidate to reach 270 electoral votes forces the vote to the House. Maybe that could have saved us from Trump. |

You have way more faith in Congress than I do.
Which is funny, all things considered. As for what Clinton thinks? Who cares. She's not in a position of power, but rather a private citizen like the rest of us. She's allowed to have what ever opinion she wants. The time has long since past for people to be pointing fingers at her. This is what we've got, it's time to hold the people in power accountable, anything else is a diversionary tactic.

Where as what I've been saying is: Because we aren't able to look down the other leg of the Trousers of Time, there's no way to know for certain that a war with Syria was a Fixed Point.
Speculating is a waste of time. This is all on Trump and the GOP. They're the ones with the keys to the castle. Which is even more horrifying given that the GOP admitted on the record that they don't know how to legislate, because they've been the Party of No for so long. And of course a lot of folks in Washington think this is a good idea. There's a lot of money to be made in war. And a lot of scandal that needs folks to look away from before it can be swept under the rug. The fact remains that the people of Syria are dying, and our country can apparently afford to lob bombs at them, but not much else. Which is par for the course, if you look back at how we've treated others in that part of the world we promised we'd help. America always has been, and apparently always will be, a country with a short attention span no long game.

Apparently some elements of Trump's hardcore fan base are less than happy with him:

We remember as far back as one previous Presidential administration and that's it. And that will never change.

Maybe non-Trump people (esp those on the right due to less political bias, but still said 'hell no') who trusted their gut instincts about this man had a point...? I'm just surprised he managed to disappoint so soon. |

Geez, my FB has been blowing with people taking turns sucking Trump's dick, saying it's about time he shows America isn't one to **** with and that unlike Obama, he has balls and blah blah the **** blah. There's reports that the Syrians are happy for the bombings. I'm worried about retaliation. You don't get bombed and stay quiet about it.

The whole conflict in Syria is a flipping mess. So many factions are fighting there and we should be more wary of the so called "moderate rebels". We've seen this movie countless times. USA, Russia, UK, France, wtv. get involved in the Middle East, arm a certain group of rebels... then years later those rebels bite the hand that feeds them and become the new bad guys. Remember when Saddam and Bin Laden were friends with USA? It's cyclical.

I found this breakdown of the situation leading up to where we are now, pretty helpful: "This 6-minute history of the Syrian Civil War is required watching for anyone hoping to put Thursday's strike in context." - Ezra Klein Take of it what you will.
