Woke up this morning to Tweets that the administration is considering military strikes against BOTH Syria AND N. Korea.

I was against military force in Syria when obama was POTUS. I'm still against military force in Syria. It's a civil war. The US has no business sending our men and women over there to die.

Rand Paul is reminding Trump of his own tweets awhile back about the U.S. having no business getting involved militarily in Syria. Hopefully , we will hear the Syrians out. Ron Paul is adamant that Syria's military did not use chemical weapons.

The last chem attack was proven to be done by the rebels, not Assad. It makes no sense for Assad to conduct a chem attack. He's winning the war. The one's who would gain the most from this are the lying, manipulative, terrorist rebels -- many of whom align with isis. They're trying to draw the US into the conflict in hopes we will destroy the Assad regime.

Again, the US shouldn't be drawn into this conflict. We will lose.

And bigly.

ISIS works for us. We are using them to topple Assad, we use them as an excuse to get involved in yet another stupid war, round and round it goes.

If Trump backs off he'll look incompetent. If he goes forward he'll prove he's incompetent.

Zero sum.

They're doing a terrible job, seeing Assad is still in power and the rebels (isis) hasn't made any significant gains. But yes, the CIA gives isis chem weapons, they use them against their own people. The US claims it's being forced to act.

Annnd one more

He's painted himself into a corner with his recent comments, unfortunately. He blasted obama during the campaign of drawing the red line and then failing to punish Syria when it was crossed. His recent comments now claim Syria has gone "beyond the line," and "crossed many lines."

Just how many times can one cross a line?

It's happening. Unfortunately any hopes of staying out of another mid-east conflict or a conflict with Russia are gone.

You have Haley impersonating Powell on the floor of the UN, waiving pictures of dead kids. Tillerson is telling Russia to "think very carefully" about continuing to support Assad.

New POTUS, same bloodlust.

Time to get the Mrs. to sweep out the bunker, looks like we're gonna be in for a long ride.

heheeee!

(Remember the old Twilight Zone episode? Guy locks himself in his atomic bomb shelter for like 20 years or something...?)

I cannot stand Haley.

Welp, Trump ordered a cruise missile attack on a Syrian airbase.

I don't agree with his decision.
