    We knew they were there. So we didn't target the chemical weapons stores.

    Didn't Obama know where they were? How come Trump and his team found them so easily?

    Supposedly one out of the 59 missiles was shot down. I wonder why the vaunted Russian Defense System is so inept.

    Some think the attack was carefully tailored and rendered as intended:

    In another thread, you referenced Trump's "brilliant" move of accusing Obama of illegal wiretaps to draw attention away from the Russian election interference investigation. I wonder if this is a devious attempt to boost his popularity by acting alone and claiming ALL of the credit for handling the crisis.

    While I agree that this was a humanitarian crisis that demanded a forceful response, I believe that Trump taking it upon himself to PERSONALLY handle the crisis without NATO involvement or Congressional approval was reckless, premature, and irresponsible. . . . Doesn't it trouble you that this man advocates a NUCLEAR BUILDUP???

    Trump's "UNCONDITIONAL" followers defended his apathy concerning the Syrian crisis, but also applauded his "about-face" in ordering the missile attack; now he ALSO has the approval (on this issue) of many of his detractors. I would venture a guess that Trump is now closely watching opinion polls.

    My most serious concern is that the unilateral response, without consulting allies, and the fact that Trump initiated it without Congressional approval, makes me wonder how far into the danger zone Trump will lead us. . . . Especially after making the implication that he will take on N. Korea alone.

    You people evade meaning in lieu of tantrums. Here's something with meaning for you to evade:

    Only the Russians and Iranians are upset at the strike. You?

    Sometimes a lot is said without saying a word.

    You put an emphasis on diplomatic response, which to these types of people doesn't work. Obama tried this, and it was a failure.

    Blowing up some buildings and aircrafts sends a clear message. Stop, or else.

    If Mossad of Israel and the US CIA could bring down the the twin towers in NYC on 9/11 with a few very small "briefcase" nukes, and pulverize everything, including the cement, and everything...then we should all realize the power of nuclear weapons...in a nuclear war, nothing survives...nothing.

    I understand that 23 of the 59 fired missiles hit target... Overwhelmed by the sheer scale if US military spending....

    Nikki has yet to play the "woman card" either. It's almost as she has more self respect than allower herself to sink to that. Nikki epitomizes conservative feminism.

    No. I'm afraid this is the message that the "Wag the Dog" © again.

    Trump turned out to be a weak politician without his own opinion.

    What's wrong with muslims killing muslims? Aren't all muslims terrorists? We won't let syrian refugees in this country because they're all terrorists.
    You guys don't know what side is up.

    What about attacking a soverign nation? Not an atrocity?
    They are muslims. Aren't all muslims terrorists, per your side. The Syrian refugees can't come here. So we make them stay there.

    You guys don't know what side is up.
