Syria: Obama Cowered, but Trump Did Not
Posted On 07 Apr 2017
You could see it written on President Donald Trump’s face on Wednesday. After the images started rolling in, showing the devastating effects of Bashar al-Assad’s chemical attack on his own people, Trump’s demeanor changed to one voters hadn’t seen before.
This was a man who, unlike his predecessor, could not stand idly by and do nothing while innocent men, women, and children died under unimaginable circumstances. This was a man who would use the might of the U.S. military to keep madmen in check.
And on Thursday night, Trump lived up to that unspoken promise.
The U.S. nailed a Syrian airbase with nearly 60 cruise missiles, destroying most of Assad’s airstrike capabilities.
Whereas President Obama backed down in the face of Assad’s aggression, Trump stepped up to the plate.
That’s important for a number of reasons. It sends a message to Assad, first and foremost: Your days of gassing your people with impunity? Those are over.
It sends a message to Putin: We want to get along, but if you want to support a monster like this, it’s gonna be tough.
It sends a message to North Korea: The U.S. military is back in the game. You sure you want to try us?
And it sends a message to Trump’s critics at home and abroad: Our new president may be unconventional, but he is not afraid to defend American values using any means necessary.
When you count up all the differences between Trump and his predecessor – and they are many – this one may be the biggest of them all.
Obama drew a red line (with disappearing ink) in the sand with Syria.
Trump painted a syrian airbase black….
WHICH is a SERIOUS PRESIDENT?
Obama drew a yellow line on the golf course.
What ignorance. Obama drew a yellow line on the golf course, when Trump has been golfing 10 times since being in Office. What has he accomplished: ZERO!
Bahahaha, you obviously don’t READ.
“Thinking” doesn’t come naturally to you does it?
Take some down time from your X Box, Mr. Oliveras.
Have you ever wondered HOW MUCH each round of golf obammy played actually cost the Tax Payers?
He probably was not a part of a 4some. No partys in front or behind him.
Secret Service agent behind every bush….
Golf courses don’t usually shut down the entire course for however long it actually took for that moron to play a round of golf.
SOMEBODY PAID!
I pity the fool that mess’s with Mr. T our new fearless President. he don’t wear panties like the last guy.
Yea Mr. T! I like that nick name.
george briar,: MAY BE OBOZO WENT TO “VICTORIA SECRET” , and I bet he did not have a zipper in his pants to “PISS”!!! Why?, HE COULD NOT FIND THE HORSE!!!
Good for Trump. However, I hope he doesn’t get us sucked into that war. None of the factions in it are good, except for (maybe) the Kurds.
Starman535: oh come on if they all come in your back yard you would “SHIT YOUR FUCKING PANTS”!!!!
Balony. I have been a hunter for many years, and I’d shoot those vermin down like the rats they are.
Think: YEAH, IF THEY DON’T SURPRISE YOU, IDIOT!!!
That’s why we should not invite those trogs into this country! No need for name calling – that is the real mark of the brain-dead.
Think: HA, HA I AM NOT BRAIN DEAD AT 78 I HAVE ALL MY MARBLES UP THERE, AND A HELL OF A LOT SMARTER THAN MANY OF MY AGE!!!! OH, MAYBE ALSO I SHALL INCLUDE YOU!!!!
I doubt you could master even 10% of the mathematics I needed to get my job as a research meteorologist. Get into a pissing contest with someone you don’t know is a recipe to get wet.
Think: WELL PISSING WET, HA HA YOU ALWAYS DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK WEATHER IS GOING TO BE, AND MY ALLERGIES TELL ME!!! I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHO YOU ARE NEITHER!!!
Obozo wasted his presidency on golf vacations & accomplished nothing worthwhile, unless you count using up all the red line kits in the White House. Thanks for nothing, Obozo, D.T. will do things you havent thought of yet. 8 wasted years to make up.
It is refreshing to see a national leader take a lead position on the gassing of innocent Syrian citizens. What purpose does killing the innocent help Assad and his country’s agenda? NONE!!
For what it is worth. There comes a time when talk is over. Let us pray this does need a second act.
Obama did the right thing by trying to get Congressional approval from Congress to attack Syria. Which is what the President is suppose to do. Did Trump do that? No. He does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America. Anybody can act tough but was it legal? Stop the bullshit!
That’s right, Carlas, Trump should use the same forces on the Cartels in MheeeKooooe.
Article II of the Constitution spells out that “the President shall
be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of
the militia of the several states.” The War Powers Resolution, passed by
Congress in 1973 over President Nixon’s veto, requires that a President
must report to Congress within 48 hours after introducing military
forces into hostilities and must end the use of such within 60 days
unless Congress permits otherwise.
In the ensuing 44 years, most Presidents have ignored parts or all of
the War Powers Resolution, considering it illegal or unwarranted. Back
in 2011, President Barack Obama ordered a military intervention in Libya
without asking for congressional approval. Forces were engaged there
for about eight months as the Obama administration argued that its
military presence didn’t fall under the Resolution.
As my post clearly explains, the only bullshit here is yours. This President will not draw red lines which turn yellow as barry soteros did, but you already know that.
Carlos Oliveras: YOU ARE A FUCKING MEXICAN, HE DID NOT NEED IT (APPROVAL “U” DUMB ASSHOLE) THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE FUCKING “OBOZOS” ADMINISTRATION YOU DUMB ASS MEXICAN AND LIBTURD!!! Get your fucking facts straight before you comment dumb ass!!! also stop your “BULLSHIT”!!!
Having a Spanish name makes us all Mexicans? You truly are one dumb, ignorant racist pig! If you supported a bigot for Public offcie, you cannot claim that you aren’t one yourself! A Benjamin Franklin once said: “We are all born ignorant, we must work hard to remain stupid”. You must be truly exhausted!
Carlos, unfortunately, you inherited a MEXICAN NAME so that is it, “TOUGH LOVE”!!! Oh, excuse me I was not born ignorant, just smart enough to “RESPECT MY PRESIDENT”!!!!

Carlos Oliveras: NOTE***** I AM NOT A RACIST, AND DON’T POUR THAT FUCKING SHIT ON ME YOU PRICK!!!
The only prick here is your Mother! You ignorant moron!
Carlos: you are a fucking “PRICK SUCKING MORON” LIBRATE!!!
Should have put the crosshairs on the Assads house!!
Obama the coward is a fruit and so is his so called wife.
Wcgraybill: YEAH, FRUIT CAKES.
Hoorah and Semper Fi, Mr. President; MY……… Commander in Chief.
Ron: HOORAY!!!
Obama screwed up but so did Trump because he didn’t wait for verification of which group (terrorist, moderate rebels or army of Syria) actually did it. I don’t believe anything I read until I learn more. I also find it inconceivable that Assad would do this to his people when the Syrian army was winning the war against ISIS.
Sherrie: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING??? ASSAD IS A FUCKING ANIMAL, and if you don’t think so then FUCKING GO LIVE THERE!!! “GO PRESIDENT TRUMP, maybe the critics are against you but they are BULLSHIT!!!
You have a nasty mouth grafra102. People that talk like you know little about what they cuss about. Learn more before babbling cuss words.
Sherrie: AND I SAY FUCK YOU!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP MARCH ON MY PRESIDENT!!!!!! Sherrie YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE, GO FIND YOUR GOPHER HOLE BITCH!!!!
BECAUSE OF WE MILITARY IS WHY YOUR FUCKING ASS IS ON THIS PLANET!!!
