The US was also branded 'a partner of ISIS' by al-Assad's spokesman, calling the missile strikes 'reckless and irresponsible' and accused Trump of 'naively falling' for a 'false propaganda campaign' about the Idlib Sarin massacre.

I'd love for Trump to actually say this as an 'in your face' to Obama.



I would also love for him to say, 'We don't allow dictators to gas children, that's not who we are, we are better than that.'

I hate to be the penny pincher here, but at ~$1M each, we spent around $60M today in Tomahawks on this little bitch slap of Assad. Can we please go back to plain ole conventional bombs dropped from a aircraft. Heck we could have even done more damage, dropping more ordinance, for less total out-of-pocket cost.

Come on Don, think about the income statement impacts. You need to up the ROE on this investment.

When were they actually transferred to the military as an asset? Can that be amortized? Also, can we defray the cost a bit if we add advertising stickers?

"Bwando/Magpul/ART+15 Clothing PRESENTS, a Raytheon/GD Production...." etc.

Creating jobs and rewarding investors!

Hot damn! I take back my initial comments. Ole Don is pumping up the market again. The 'Trump Bump' continues.

Just heard Dana Perino and I thought she had some interesting things to say. She said, "The world leaders have been trying to figure President Trump out since November 8th, and they got clarity last night."

She went on to say. "Any President is speaking to multiple audiences all at once, our allies, our enemies, the American people, and our military. I think what this says to our military is that the strategy might not be perfect, and it might not be all laid out--they've been working on a Syria strategy in the Security Council and the DOD, and it's not all there. This activity by Assad basically leap-frogged to the head of the line, and he decided to act. I feel he stood up for the decency that makes America exceptional."

I thought that was pretty good.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley forced Bolivia to "defend the atrocities of the Syrian regime" in "full public view" on Friday, after the country's ambassador requested a closed session to discuss President Trump's strikes in Syria.

Trump ordered the missile strikes in response to a chemical weapons attack by Syrian President Bashar Assad Tuesday which killed dozens in northern Syria.

Haley revealed the Bolivian ambassador's request for a private emergency session of the U.N. Security Council in a written statement Friday morning.

She countered: "The United States, as president of the Council this month, decided the session would be held in the open. Any country that chooses to defend the atrocities of the Syrian regime will have to do so in full public view, for all the world to hear.”

At the session, Haley stood by the U.S. actions, and said that when the international community fails to act, it is up to individual states to act themselves.

”The moral state of the Assad regime could no longer go unanswered. His crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. It was time to say enough. But not only say it, it was time to act,” she said.

Haley also questioned Russia’s role in carrying out a deal to remove chemical weapons -- arguing that either Moscow knew about the weapons, was “incompetent” in removing them, or was played “for fools” by Assad. She went on to warn that more U.S. action could be on the table.

“The United States took a very measured step last night. We are prepared to do more. But we hope that will not be necessary,” she said.

“We were able to find a solution that didn’t necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished,” she boasted. “We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.”
