It’s amazing how many conservatives are divided on this.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Our track record of intervening in Syria and the Middle East is terrible.

The fact we worked together with France and the United Kingdom is a good thing. When the tough gets going the going get tough. We don’t watch while anyone gets bullied we will never have another Hitler. @POTUS did the right thing with the UK and France. I support him 100%

Line firmly drawn by USA & allies #France & #UK More strikes possible thou not imminent-Ballsy bold &so far so good-Did #AssadGenocide finally get message: poison gas is Real Red Line? Probably-His air defenses shot down some of our incoming, but certainly not all. Win for #Trump

I understand the arguments on both sides. I really do. Me? I’m just saying this: Obama drew a red line, and Trump is enforcing it.
President Trump tweeted about the strikes this morning.
A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2018
So proud of our great Military which will soon be, after the spending of billions of fully approved dollars, the finest that our Country has ever had. There won’t be anything, or anyone, even close!

“Mission accomplished.”
How do you feel? Still uneasy?
