I am in what appears to be a minority of Americans who favor the US pullout from Syria. Not only is our work there done, but I believe we were on the wrong side of the fight to begin with. Is it any mystery that Barack Hussein backed the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad by ISIS?

Regardless of the Democrat bitching and moaning that we must stay in Syria, which is being parroted by every talking head in the Alphabet Network Club (ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, MSNBC), President Trump did the right thing. Assad and Russia can handle this and wipe out what’s left of ISIS. We have no business there.

A few Republicans did back Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of the country. Senator Rand Paul, a libertarian who believes in global isolationism, said he was “happy to see a president who can declare victory and bring our troops out of a war. It’s been a long time since that has happened.”

I’m not saying that Assad is innocent. He may be guilty. However, no one has provided sufficiently hard evidence that he is, let alone proof. In fact, all of the evidence suggests otherwise, especially motive. Assad had none.

I have been one of President Trump’s fiercest supporters, but I fervently disagree with him on this attack in Syria. He should not be making rookie mistakes at this point. He knows there are swamp rats throughout his intel community. He can trust them as far as he can trust the FBI.

I believe this is another case of President Trump receiving faulty intel from his own people. Remember, many in the intel community are holdovers from the administration of Barack Hussein.

Both sides, Americans and Russians, remain calm and are discussing an attack on a US military base by Russian mercenaries last week in Syria that, at last count, left over 100 of the mercenaries dead. No US or coalition forces were killed.

The celebration and relief were marred with sadness as people remembered those that they had lost during ISIL’s occupation.

Russia has cut a vital line of communication with US forces in Syria and is threatening to shoot down any US aircraft operating in Russian/Syrian operational airspace.

For the first time in the war against ISIS in Syria, the US has attacked Syrian government forces with the downing of a Syrian fighter jet by a US fighter jet.

In my opinion, if both the US and Russia back Assad, one of the few secular leaders in the region, then the problem in Syria will be resolved in a hurry.

This looks and smells an awful lot like Trump’s cruise missile attack on Assad’s airfield with about the same amount of evidence to support it…. ZERO!

I thought it was mind-numbingly obvious from the get-go that Assad did not gas his own people. As far as I could tell, all evidence pointed to terrorists, likely al-Qaeda, which controls that part of the country.

The whole bombing of Syria thing still sticks in my craw. I chalked it up to a rookie mistake based upon President Trump receiving faulty intelligence. I stand by that belief.

Assad was going to stop trading oil on the USD. Obama weaponizes Syrian rebels. Syrian rebels turn into ISIS… now we bomb Assad’s planes. Am I missing anything?

Now, this from the United States Department of Schizophrenia…. President Trump: “We’re not going into Syria. Our policy is the same, it hasn’t changed. We’re not going into Syria.”

I have been giving President Trump the benefit of the doubt on this. Now I have to wonder if he hasn’t become a swamp creature himself. Dear God, I hope not. I’m still with you, Mr. President.

Putin and Assad are right, and Putin will never choose a country (US) that bombed a sovereign ally without at least allowing an investigation into exactly what happened. We are waaaay on the wrong side of this.

H/T Renee H I remain amazed by the events that have occurred over the past week. The Syrian Air Force conducts a routine bombing run against a terrorist target, 80 civilians are killed as a result, President Trump executes a […]

Suddenly, to his former detractors, Trump went from being Adolf Hitler to Harry Truman in 59 quick cruise missiles.

“Military and intelligence personnel,” “intimately familiar” with the intelligence, say that the narrative that Assad or Russia did it is a “sham.”

Russia and Iran said that Friday’s US strike on the Syrian air base crossed “red lines” and they would “respond with force” to any new aggression.

Somehow, based upon nothing more than the flight plan of Assad’s Air Force, our Pentagon has determined that it was Assad who used chemical weapons to kill his own people, which is ridiculous!

I still love President Trump. Nothing has changed there. I have been with him for two years, from the beginning, and I will not abandon him. I donated a lot of time, money, and bandwidth helping him get elected.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie expressed doubt that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the April 4 chemical attack, and reinforced his stance that US intervention could end up making the situation worse.

Representative Gabbard, who traveled to Syria in January on a fact-finding trip knows as much about the situation in Syria as anyone in Washington.

Great! Like we didn’t know this would be the outcome of an unprovoked US attack on Syrian forces, which are backed by Russia. Way to go, Mr. President!

Why are you bombing Assad, Mr. President? We are supposed to be destroying ISIS, not bombing the crap out of an ally who is also fighting ISIS. Why not just hand ISIS the keys to Assad’s palace.

What the hell is going on!? Where is the Donald Trump who berated Barack Hussein for his involvement in Syria? I have been on board with President Trump on nearly every issue, although I disagree with his socialized healthcare ideas. […]

Assad has been a secular leader who has defended large Christian and Jewish populations, which have lived peacefully with Muslims in Syria for centuries.
