Syria bombing: How the world reacted to US airstrikes on Syrian airbase

Much of Europe has expressed support for the attacks, with EU, French and German leaders saying that the response was needed to take a stand against chemical weapons.

European Council President Donald Tusk: said: “US strikes show needed resolve against barbaric chemical attacks. EU will work with the US to end brutality in Syria.”

The joint statement, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel said that Assad was responsible due to his "repeated use of chemical weapons and his crimes against his own people

Turkey's presidential spokesman said: "The destruction of Shayrat airbase marks an important step to ensure that chemical and conventional attacks against the civilian population do not go unpunished."

The Saudi Foreign Ministry also voiced its "full support ... for the American military operations on military targets in Syria," according to a statement from the Saudi Press Agency.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Mr Trump had "sent a strong and clear message today that the use and spread of chemical weapons will not be tolerated".

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the strikes were "a means to prevent further deterioration of the situation”.

Australia's Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull said: “[The] Australian government strongly supports the swift and just response of the United States."

Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said: "Italy understands the reasons for the U.S. military action"

Iran “strongly condemns any such unilateral strikes”, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman told the Students News Agency ISNA.

He said: “Iran condemns the use of chemical weapons, but at the same time believes it is dangerous, destructive and a violation of international laws to use it as an excuse to take unilateral actions.”

the Dems are weak, frightened and effeminate

pair a what? Hes irrational.
Now Im not faulting him for hitting Assad but Im wondering about his motives. Was it to quell all the dumass flap hes raised during his first 2.5 months in office? Has he a plan for a "NOW WHAT"?



Congress nd trump announcd that Obama shoulda conferred with Congress when Obama attacked Libya? (remember?)

Ever see Obama throw out a first pitch?

Do you consider the many killings ( both intended and unintended) involved in Obama's many drone assassinations to have been murder as well ? If so it's odd that you didn't complain about them.

Remove your head from your tuchas. There was a lot of loud criticism from the left over Obama's addiction to the drone and the indiscriminate abuse of remote bombing military and civilian targets.

Ya gotta admit. Hes Obama "light" now. (Of course , except for the pathological lying and narcissism thing)

I did complain about the drone killings under Obama.

Why? Dead terrorists are good terrorists.

We've killed a lot of women and children. Their sons and brothers are coming for you.

Trump will kill them before they get to me.

I was not criticizing Obama's global military strategy but I think he should have enforced his own "red line" on the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

I'm also glad that he's dead. But he was never the liberal's BFF. You're picking and choosing your selective memory perhaps.

US: Torture and Rendition to Gaddafi’s Libya

Quote:

The story told by the photograph reads clearly. Once again, and for the second time in barely four months, the United States is pandering to a Middle East dictator

ON MY MIND; Assad and Bush

Fun name drops...
Saddam Hussein was propped up by Reagan.
Nixon and Franco.

Why would Assad gas his people? Why would he beckon world intervention?

How confident are you in your thesis that this action would have been more productive than what Obama did. Let's recall that some 1500 tons of chemical weapons were removed from Syria. How confident are you that had Obama launched an attack that those weapons would not have been used subsequently?

Oh good lord! If he's lost Coulter, how much longer before he loses those who once supported him (a group which dwindles hourly)?
