World Leaders Praise U.S. Strike on Syria

Thankfully, you were not president when Hilter was on the warpath!
And who is Hitler in this current scenario? Assad? What country is he invading? We are the ones doing that. Not with many boots on the ground but with our long distance strike, killing civilians and allies alike.

Do you do any political thinking of your own or do you just believe what the latest two minute hate tells you to hate?

No. Bush, Obama (and now Trump) have relied upon the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which originally applied to al Qaeda, to pursue the "war on terror" to far-flung fields. But even that elastic reading is strained to cover an action that has nothing to do with the "war on terror." Trump will probably have to rationalize his decision, just as Obama did in Libya, with an explanation that the action wasn't really war because it wasn't expected to be a continuing situation.

What works for one ought to work for the other.

Good answer by Keane. Trump's perspective was bound to change, and did. It happens to all presidents when reality hits them square in the face. No news here. Shep is just stirring the pot. He hates Trump.

Why should it work for anyone? Because Congress won't exercise its constitutional authority.

They won't exercise it beecause they gave it up years ago.

And that's not the only one they refuse to exercise.

Isis and Islamic terrorists are the root cause of all that suffering going on when we counter attack!

President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!

Circumstances change.

But he was right then and he's right now. Still says he has no intention of large military intervention in Syria to remove Assad.

Interesting, so what intelligence have you seen that our government has not seem that would lead so such a conclusion?

Do you think that our government has morally improved since the time in the UN that Colin Powell held up the vial of supposed proof that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?

The default position of our government is deceit and disinformation - especially our military-industrial complex.

Are you assuming Powel lied? Apparently you do not have all the info you need to understand fully if you do. Second, while I tend to be distrustful of government, I am not willing to jump to full blown conclusions simply because I do not like the decisions. You are making claims (i.e. Assad's guilt is anything but clear) without knowing everything our government and other nation governments know. It is not just the US that is saying Assad is guilty.

By the way, where do you think Assad obtained these chemical weapons he has admitted to having?
