What would you do in Syria

Except at $1.8 million each for 59 tomahawk missiles, we could have relocated all of the victims of the chemical attack, put $1 million each in their pockets, and stimulated our economy via the trickle down effect of voodoo economics.

First of all, consider all the collateral damage and the problems missiles cause to our ground forces in Syria who may have to move occupy after such an indiscriminate attack.

Secondly, a cruise missile is nothing more than an aerial IED and that's how cowards engage in combat.

I think what Bfine meant when he said drones strike "cheapen war" was that they are not expensive enough.  Any coward in a conmac in Nevada can expend what, a few hundred thousand dollars with a Hellfire? 

Whereas a cruise missiles costs one million plus, depending on the warhead and guidance. You cannot call that cheap. Multiply that 59 times and I have no trouble thinking whoever ordered that launch from a restaurant in Florida is some kind of hero. I don't care if it didn't do much damage other than to kill a few soldiers and children. It showed RESOLVE and a humanitarian side to Trump people have doubted since he swore he could look Syrian children in the eye and say "No, you can't come here." 

When did Obama ever have the courage to run straight from a Fox news report to launch orders?  We have a MAN for a president now and if the feminists don't like it too bad.

We need to stop making our leader look bad by questioning the instincts and impulses which drive his foreign policy.
