You gonna try tell me that line in sand was fake news?

Before you make any comments, you better get your facts straight.

one major difference between Trump's strikes against the Assad regime and Obama's ISIS airstrikes is the legal authorization for carrying them out.

When Obama considered launching airstrikes in Syria against 2013 in response to the chemical attacks, he decided to go to Congress before striking, and the resistance he faced there convinced the president not to hit Assad.

https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/31/politics/obama-syria-transcript-saturday/

Obama stated that he was comfortable going forward without U.N. Security Council approval.

When Obam a ordered the US military to attack Libya to get rid of Ghaddafi, a lot of right-wingres  said it was unconstitutional because Congress did not approve it 
Was the Republican-led congress a coward and a vagina ?

President can conduct war for 90 days.
Without Congress Congress has not declared war since www2 . hard to belie e that this is now an issue.
But according to the constitution trump can bomb at will till July without Congress.

Give the credit to Pres. Trump for attacking Assad, Assad is a murderer he single handed murders over 400,000 of his own people. And the uses of mass destruction weapons signal his demise eventually, both our allies UK and Australia concur the US's strike against Assad.

Trump has international support for the strikes, those voicing objection are the predictable/usual suspects, russia and the left. 

Trump was given 2 options by his advisors, precision strikes on military targets or a dance protest outside syrian embassy. 

I think he made the right choice.

War Powers Resolution (WPR) or War Powers Act give the president of the United States the authority to use force without congress declaration of war or specific statutory authorization only in the case of a national emergency (attack on the United States, its territories, allies , armed forces)

Get your facts straight 

"While we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked. The President needs Congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution. Our prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make us safer and Syria will be no different,"


Republican Senator Rand Paul 



Trump in 2013 

The President must get congressional approval before attacking Syria - Big mistake IF he does not !


Republican Robert Aderholt  and Pete Olson were against Obama in 2013 now approve of Trump's action

The point is still the same, regardless. Why would Obama open his pie hole and draw a line if he had any chance of walking it back for any reason?

these are good questions along with what bws mentioned:  trump basically told these syrian kids to f*ck off when we knew they were fleeing chemical and other terrorist attacks and now trump cares enough to basically attack the country without consulting congress?  why? 

i may have found the answer.  i'll let this guy explain  it.

Dude you're really  annoying  

U.S should have attacked Syria back in 2013 and Assad should have been removed from power.

Stop making it a partisan issue. Republicans who oppose Obama in 2013 are the same ones cheering for Trump.

is Destroying one airfield enough ?

what's next ?

Sooner or later Congress needs to get involved IF Trump has a long term strategy 

Russia pledges to boost Syria defenses

Trump was against attacking Syria back in 2013 when Assad used chemical weapons

this guy really thinks it was a bad idea to bomb syria, especially without approval from congress.  he seems to be a huge critic of our president.

A law can not overrule the comstitional authority GI end the executive branch by the constitution without a constitutional amendment.

Go such was confirmed and the constitution really has no grey area.
Consider we Dodge a bullet. Hillary stated we should bb every air base in Syria without notification of the Russian command in Syria

Congress raises and spends money that is its job. They can not even do that with any rhyme or reason.

I agree 

This is supposed to be a team effort.

Those who disagreed with Obama are the ones cheering for Trump
What  has Congress done to stop Assad 4 years ago ?

Yeah I saw those photos a bit as well, it does not look like our aim was so great.

That is what happens when you charge forward blindly without taking proper time to plan and prepare.

Vintage Trump...

I don't know how much damage was done but the Russians are supposed to have S300 and S400 anti-aircraft missile systems and they could not stop the Tomahawk missiles.
