Did a few cruise missiles just save the presidency of Trump?

I read the reports of a chemical attack in our press, then I read the reports of an air strike hitting a rebel held chemical depot in their press and all I can hear is Colin Powell telling the UN about "Iraq's mobile biological weapons laboratories." bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

He wants to be different from Obama, and he wants to control his image on TV, so he lashed out. This isn't going to save his presidency. Assad won't be deterred from using any weapon at his disposal to win. He, and his father, have shown this time and again. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39500947 FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

I'd still wager that this has thrown some cold water on the Trump - Russia investigation. Edit: Also, from you link ... Emphasis Mine. Hussein Kayal, a photographer for the pro-opposition Edlib Media Center (EMC), told the Associated Press that he was awoken by the sound of an explosion at about 06:30 (03:30 GMT). When he reached the scene, there was no smell, he said. He found people lying on the floor, unable to move and with constricted pupils. Would that be an al Nusra sympathizer? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. Edited by mmoffitt April 7, 2017, 01:54:53 PM EDT Expand All History

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
