The US Dropping Bombs on Syria

[Mars]

One and done strikes won’t change the monster that leads Syria, propped up by his puppet masters Russia and Iran. If we really want change or deterrence, we should track down Assad and decapitate him in a missile strike or attack like we did Bin Ladin.

Why? That would be a terrible choice. Get rid of Assad and we own it like Iraq and Libya. We'd also be fighting with Russia and Iran over the next govt to run Syria. Who wants to be embroiled in a lengthy nation rebuilding war with Russia, Iran, Hamas, and all the rebel factions in Syria? No way.

And Dawg drops a truth bomb!

Totally agree.

What's with all this agreement and kumbayah-my-Lord all of the sudden on the Lounge?

Trump should be impeached for this. This is an act of war against a state that has never threatened the US. Ever. Congress should impeach him and send him to jail. They won't, but they should.

That would be a strike I could get behind.

So Mattis apparently wanted congressional approval for the strike. Trump said no, he wanted to show the world what a moron he is. His act of war did nothing other than encourage the white helmet jihadists to pull more false flag chlorine bombs. All it takes is some bleach and drano (or maybe just yelling out about bleach and drano) and boom, Donald Trump will drop 100M USD worth of ordnance on your enemies - screw the constitution.

Every one of the last six presidents should have been impeached over acts of war not authorized by congress. The constitution has been torn to shreds.
