Trump avenges Assad’s ‘disgrace to humanity’
That is how President Donald Trump described the horrific chemical weapon attack against the citizens of Syria by their own government.
The President was right on the money with this one.
The President acted swiftly and gave the order for a cruise missile attack on the Syrian airbase where the attack on the Syrian people was launched. According to reports 59 cruise missiles each carrying a 1000-pound warhead pummeled the airbase and effectively destroyed the base.
I must agree with the President. He did the right thing. How could the greatest country in the world just stand by and do nothing. That would have been a crime in and of itself.
Whatever your politics are, if watching those scenes of the Syrian people choking to death, dead children and infants, if it didn’t bring a tear to your eye then you probably shouldn’t be calling yourself a member of the human race.
I’m glad and proud that we responded.
Assad once again crossed the red line and this time we just didn’t stand by and do nothing. I would say that we should have blown him out of existence but that my friends would have been too good for him.
Assad is a piece of human garbage.
He gassed his own people, has used chemical weapons more than once, blew up hospitals and has kept food and medical supplies from reaching the people of Syria time and again.
All those scenes that I watched on television were heart-breaking. When I saw the father holding his dead twin babies in his hands I am not ashamed to say that I cried.
Thumps up President Trump good job on this one.
As for Assad, I can only hope that his own people will rip him apart one day or better yet throw him in a locked room and use the same gas on him that he used on his own people.
That would be real justice.

He also spent a short time with the US Dept. of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration. In 1986 Doug was awarded Criminal Investigator of the Year by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia for his undercover work in narcotics enforcement. In 1992 and 1993 Doug testified in court that a sheriff’s office official and the county prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence during the 1988 trial of a man accused of the attempted murder of his wife. Doug’s testimony led to a judge’s decision to order the release of the man from prison in 1992 and awarded him a new trial, in which he was later acquitted. As a result of Doug breaking the police “blue wall of silence,” he was fired by the county sheriff. His story was featured on Inside Edition, Current Affair and CBS News’ “Street Stories with Ed Bradley”. In 1992 after losing his job, at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Doug infiltrated a group of men who were plotting the kidnapping of a Dupont fortune heir and his wife. Doug has been a guest on national television and radio programs speaking on the stories he now writes as an investigative journalist.
