Apr 2017

Nancy Pelosi described Syria's attack as follows: “The use of chemical weapons on civilians is a war crime that violates every standard of morality and civilized behavior."

Hillary Clinton called for pretty much the same thing as Trump ordered.

There were hundreds of air strike in Syria during the Obama administration.

Do I like it that it has come to this? No
Do I think that the Syrians felt emboldened by Trump's suggesting Syria wasn't a priority? Yes.

But if you think that Democrats are going to line up to condemn an airstrike against Assad, you don't have a clue.
