Careful analysis of bomb blast evidence proves Trump's missile strike on Syria was a big success https://t.co/we20mT1len

What damned phrase of George W. Bush will @realDonaldTrump repeat next? Maybe "Bring 'em on!" uttered by GWB on 7/3/2003 – prior to Iraqi militants killing thousands of US troops? https://t.co/dsxQOJ7MXz

I will write more on the latest Syria @#$@! shortly. In the meantime, here’s my two cents from last night:
Media will cheer @realDonaldTrump for again becoming nothing better than a lynch mob with cruise missiles, attacking Syria without proffering any sound evidence. But Trump tonight is also blowing up a lot of his domestic support

Same claptrap we saw with Iraq War in 2003. As long as political appointees shovel a few phrases of legalistic bullshit, they are entitled to kill foreigners with impunity. https://t.co/PRD2EcDVc1

.@NYtimes headline captures problem: U.S. government is killing foreigners based on a "suspected" chemical attack. When did presidential suspicions become a license to kill?https://t.co/r0vGJGMU8e

Sec. of St. Tillerson said last year that the U.S. "leaves a footprint of freedom wherever it goes." Presumably refers to people remaining after U.S. finishes killing "suspects"

LOL – much needed. Actually, this is more like if Jefferson had bombarded the French city of La Rochelle after hearing a rumor that pirates might be there. Napoleon would not have been amused. https://t.co/XJ2zNLSmFI

#Syria: For politicians, killing and lying go together like ham and eggs. And as history prof Leo Ribuffo said in 1998: “Presidents have lied so much to us about foreign policy that they’ve established almost a common-law right to do so."

#Damascus I would love to see a televised interrogatory of @realDonaldTrump to gauge his factual knowledge of the Syrian conflict & bizarere U.S. flip-flops. I suspect he would do worse even than a @washingtonpost editorial writer

Legal basis for attacking Syria supposedly "Article II power to defend vital American interests." It is vital that Trump's approval rating rise above 50% so U.S. bombed Damascus. https://t.co/PRD2EcDVc1

You know, you gotta do what I call, and what I experience when I see and read the illegal, immoral actions by the Presidents and the Clowns in the Senate/Congress. That is a: mental double take.
These people have no concscience and are ignorant and live by bribes. Oh, that’s called lobby money.
What kind of so-called humans encourage and support the slaughter of people in this overseas nation and in that other and on and on.
From Vietnam to Iraq and others, and now Syria.
Well, when you have (my opinion) war criminals like McCain and Cheney and others never held accountable and in fact, enjoying life and big government checks…what can you say as to what this ignorant population has become?
Screw that, we thought, in the 60’s, that Americans will always raise their voice against wars and killing in other nations, but no…suffering of other people…what a cold dumb populace we have here stateside.
As they say in the country, hot damn and damn…
