I think the attack was spot on but I'm curious as to the effect it will have. I would like to know the bomb damage assessment. But most of all, what about tomorrow?

Right on the money, Speedy. Also, the strikes made have been confirmed as the same 'surgical strikes' that Obama laid out in 2013 except this strike is actually on a smaller scale. Trump went into this without congressional authorization, and as you've eluded to Speedy, there's no sustainment plan forward. Then, guess what? We have a refugee crisis to deal with...a SYRIAN MUSLIM refugee crisis which Trump made clear are not welcome here.

The dynamics that are about to unfold now will be very interesting seeing as to how Russia was suppose to remove all the chemical weapons. But, Russia backs Assad and gives them weapons. This strike was the easy part. Now, we see what happens in terms of response from Russia and Iran. What happened is bad but, it also happened once already, too, and we saw Trump's many tweets. I see him as saving face here, all the way around, and simply doing what Obama wasn't able to do. Trying to elevate that approval rating and cool the investigation off a bit. I give him credit for implementing Obama's strategy...the same one that all the Republicans called a slap on the hand in 2013. Today, they praised that strategy. Go figure.

Interesting how these displaced Muslim refugees by Russian, Assad AF & now our bombing are not accepted by the 22 Muslim Collaborative nations but America has accepted & most still not thoroughly vetted before entry.

Seems displaced persons resettlement should be a responsibility for the world via the United Nations under the Human Rights Charter and not only for Western Countries. Bye the Bye US taxpayers still underwrite more than one third of the total UN operations.

Poster #3, please do some solid diligence and get your facts straight before posting. We honestly need people that are willing to buck 'alternative facts' presented by Fox News and the hard right rant shows...not even talk shows. Here ya go:

But, here's the real humdinger which counters your argument while supporting the above link:

*If we're going to go over there displacing them in the name of humanity and liberation, then we should have no problem taking them in over here in those same names. Yes??? To do otherwise is actually inhumane. This is where we are RIGHT NOW...and it's about to get much worse.....
