So, how about that Syrian chemical attack thing?

He will slowly come to the realization that humanity repeats past actions over and over, and it has nothing to do with learning anything. It's primal. It's Mother Nature doing her thing. He's too young to grasp that yet. As are many others.

The methods change, but little else. It's not bad. It's not good. It just is. It's humans being humans.

Here's something from 52 years ago. Has anything changed? That's why being in the arms biz is a good money maker! :)

Well done Donald. 50 or 60 cruise missiles must've shook the schit out of that place.

We used to call it 'rearranging the dirt'.

This is what Kreskin is talking about.

U.S. Launches Missiles at Syrian Base After Chemical Weapons Attack

The United States launched dozens of cruise missiles Thursday night at a Syrian airfield in response to what it believes was Syria's use of banned chemical weapons that killed at least 100 people, U.S. military officials told NBC News.

Two U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea fired 59 Tomahawk missiles intended for a single target — Ash Sha'irat in Homs province in western Syria, the officials said. That's the airfield from which the United States believes the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fired the banned weapons.

There was no immediate word on casualties. U.S. officials told NBC News that people were not targeted and that aircraft and infrastructure at the site were hit, including the runway and gas fuel pumps.

the rest here.

The next 48 hours are going to be interesting.

Well, it'll help Donald with his image problem ... for a little while, anyway. He was getting into real trouble. Air strikes are one one of the traditional methods of recovering Presidential mojo.

MARINE VETERAN WARNS TRUMP: “YOU’RE BEING DUPED” ON SYRIA
"You're falling for the dumbest thing I've ever seen"

A Marine veteran warns Donald Trump that he is being “duped” on Syria and that the vast majority of the president’s supporters will not endorse regime change.

Trump said today that he was considering military intervention in response to a chemical weapons attack in Idlib province, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said “steps are underway” to create an international coalition to topple Bashar Al-Assad.

Former Marine Angelo John Gage, who served two tours in Iraq, took to Twitter to warn Trump that he was being deceived.
Asserting that Trump was cozying up to the same media and the deep state that has tried to destroy him at every turn, Gage said he voted for Trump “to make America great again, not make the Middle East great again.”

“We have no interest in Syria….we have to focus on our own country and you’re being distracted and duped – it’s so obvious – it’s blatantly obvious how ridiculous this narrative is and how fake it is,” said Gage.

“They lied about your taxes, they lied about Russian collusion, they lied about DNC rigging, they lied about everything and you’re falling for this – now they’re telling the truth about Syria, magically just for you,” he added.

“A lot of us voted for you because you’re supposed to be the ‘no war’ candidate – Hillary would have gotten us to war, you know that – yet here you are four months into your administration and you want to consider military action?” asked Gage.
The vet went on to question why Trump immediately chose to trust the same intelligence sources who have repeatedly lied in the past about weapons of mass destruction.

“You work for us, Mr. President – we voted for you because you were supposed to take care of us – none of us want to go to Syria….even if it was true it has nothing to do with us,” added Gage, opining that the jihadist rebels were the likely culprits behind the gas attack.

“You should know better, you’re supposed to be the strategic mastermind, but you’re falling for the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen – be smart, do the right thing and put America first,” he concluded.

Gage’s rant is in line with sympathies held by active duty and military veterans before Barack Obama’s 2013 threat to invade Syria when the United States came perilously close to embroiling itself in yet another disastrous attempt at regime change.

Back then, servicemembers posted images on social media vowing that they would not act as “Al-Qaeda’s air force” to help jihadists capture the country.

Trump appeared to be genuinely disgusted at the loss of children's lives in Syria, and not just the canned response that every politician uses. So good for him to blast the he'll out of that airbase. That must've been a sight to behold.

I am watching the CNN feed. It has pretty pix of Tomahawks launching.

So far, CNN is cautiously supportive. That doesn't mean that will change, but in the early hours, things seem to be going well for Trump's government. It is impossible to watch all the other networks, so I'll concentrate on CNN. Cooper is doing a fine job moderating. Not commenting to much. He's letting the various guests speak their peace.

Great point Bones. Yes that is what kept Obama off the regime change course. Assad still might be the best choice considering the alternative.

Keep in mind that Obama wasn't president when the gas attack happened. Situations change. Governments adapt and change. The US president must be capable of reacting to a changing world.

My take is that this is a very focused strike. Nothing else, militarily speaking, is going to be carried out. At least, not in the short run.

Reactions from Europe are just now coming in.

Given that Russia hasn't really said anything yet, they are clearly working on a statement that will talk tough, but will have no teeth. As well, since they were given advance notice, it is unlikely that any further military action will occur. That is, unless Assad does something stupid.

We wait. :)
