Israel says Assad’s forces still have several tonnes of chemical weapons

Although there have been mixed reports on what exactly led the president to this decision, the general consensus seems to be that Trump acted quickly after he saw pictures of children suffering and dying after a poison gas attack.

Trump’s actions are out-of-control and not well planned out.

A combination image released by the U.S. Department of Defense which they say shows the impact crater associated with April 4, 2017 Chemical Weapons Allegation released after U.S. cruise missile strike against Syria on April 7, 2017.

Is President Trump prepared to launch additional military strikes on Syria if barrel bombs continue to rain on opposition neighborhoods, killing 50 to 100 civilians at a clip?

Israel, which welcomed the US strike, was notified two hours ahead of time, the military official said. “He needs to tell us what his strategy is in Syria, what he thinks he’s going to do in the future – and whatever he decides to do, the President has to come to Congress for authorization”.

“The thing that’s most important right now for Donald Trump is to remember those core issues that he so successfully campaigned on”, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said on Fox News Tuesday morning. Assad was quoted as saying last week that Syria’s military gave up all its chemical weapons in 2013 after the agreement made at the time, and would not have used them anyway.

“The leadership of neither party so far has wanted to do this”, Cole said. How can anyone argue that the U.S.is remaining vigilant in world affairs when it is shirking its responsibility as a nation to accept refugees?

Trump’s gestures to Moscow even fueled perceptions that his campaign and Russian Federation were colluding to help him get elected – a possibility the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now investigating. The day after the attack, Kristol tweeted, “Punishing Assad for use of chemical weapons is good”. “This administration has acted recklessly without care or consideration of the dire consequences of the United States’ attack on Syria without waiting for the collection of evidence from the scene of the chemical poisoning”.

The missile strike on Syria does not “reassure a concerned world [that] America is back”.

Either way, the fact is, the barest of majorities supports a new president sending military forces into action for the first time as commander-in-chief. Among registered voters, Trump’s support level was a bit higher at 57 percent.

“I applaud Trump“, Samore said. “If he doesn’t, then we’re going to have to think about what our options are – one of them may be bringing a privileged resolution to withdraw USA military forces by a given date from Syria”.

In response to this chemical attack, President Trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian government airbase, according to BBC News. But there is nothing in those treaties and protocols, or in USA law, that provides legal mandate for the United States or any other nation opposed to what Assad did, to take unilateral military action for an alleged violation not directed against them.

However, at the other end, Massachusetts Democrat Sen.

The week began as Trump’s nominee Neil Gorsuch was sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court. Nor does vigilance in world affairs mean ignoring the Syrian refugee crisis that Trump and his administration love to exacerbate by not allowing even a portion of the 11 million displaced Syrians into the “land of the free and the home of the courageous”.
