and that hasn't changed. This is just a way to distract us and hopefully no one falls for it.

This is where I am.

Assad had it coming.

Hoping other people were in on decision.

But if this in any way stops more attacks on Syrian civilians by Syrian government, it's worthwhile. Despite whatever short term benefits trump may get from this action. I'm conflicted bc TRUMP. But Assad is an evil MFer and needs to be stopped.

Trump is such a uniquely bad guy it is almost impossible to support anything he does. I know if President Obama or Hillary ordered a strike under these circumstances I would have supported it.
