Whether true or false... looks like Trump may finally get his chance to do what he had hoped and planned do all along,... to make money. Yet he criticized Bush and Obama about butting in the affairs of other nations and dogged Bush for the war in Iraq... now from the sounds of it he just might be declaring War against Syria. If he does, I can only see this as being a big mess, and many American lives destroyed.
Trump Scare tactics with these nations is NOT a good strategy either Trump is going to war, or else he has serious need to KEEP HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT! WAR IS NO GAME WHETHER THIS REPORT IS TRUE OR FALSE. THESE MUSLIM NATIONS ARE NOT AFRAID OF TRUMP BLUFFING OR BULLYING. IN FACT, THEY ARE HOPING HE DOES START A WAR. Plus, he has turned so many of our allies against us, he most likely will not get much if any help in this from them..
If Syria launched chemicals against its own people, what does Trump think Assad and ISIS will do to our troops and open up an opportunity for North Korean to jump in and launch their weapons against America? And does Trump really think Russia and ISIS will keep their noses out of an attack against Syria? Maybe Trump doesn't understand that no matter how these Muslim nations might feel toward or fight each other, one thing for sure, they will stand together against others who come against one of their own.

President Trump is weighing the possibility of launching military strikes against Syria in the wake of this week's horrific chemical weapons attack.
'We are told that the president himself is making calls to senior members of Congress saying he is seriously considering something he said he would never do, not that long ago, which is military action in Syria,' CNN reported shortly after noon on Thursday.
The discussions are said to be exploratory in nature, with no decisions made about a green-light, or about what kinds of military operations might be involved to target Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.
But 'this is now on the table,' CNN said.
A Trump administration official who was granted anonymity in order to speak freely told DailyMail.com on Thursday that part of the president's strategy is to 'telegraph to Assad – and to Russia – that he's deadly serious.'
HEADLINES: Trump considering options for Syria retaliation, source says POSTED 12:04 PM, APRIL 6, 2017, BY CNN WIRE President Donald Trump has told some members of Congress that he is considering military action in Syria in retaliation for this week’s chemical attack, and recognizes the seriousness of the situation, a source familiar with the calls tells CNN.
The source said the President had not firmly decided to go ahead with it but said he was discussing possible actions with Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Trump is relying on the judgment of Mattis, according to the source. Read more....
Yeah you're right, but this strick is supposedly against Syria, and don't forget Russia and Iran are both in Syria helping Assad, so what do you think will happen? Let's be real... Trump has already said he loves WAR even during his campaign.
Syria has been bombing and killing its own people for years, and Trump criticized Obama when he thought Obama was going into Syria, now Trump sees two pictures of poor children being killed and he now can't stand seeing Syria using chemicals against the people ...of course, this is very sad and inhumane, but WAR against Syria IS NOT THE ANSWER NOR A GOOD IDEA at this time especially when you have North Korean waiting for an opportunity to come against America. Surely our military has other options besides WAR!
for sure something has to be done. I think trump should try and get Russia to condemn what Assad is doing. I thought there was some kind of bill or understanding they will not use chemical war fair so if nothing gets solved what else should be done. it is a disgrace that this is happening. if you have cancer you cut it out, Assad is a cancer.only time will tell.

Perhaps time is something that Assad hasn't.
By now, Russia has halted action against him and his government over the use of toxic gases. In that war it is not very clear who is the worst.

SistaCallie: BREAKING NEWS! POSSIBLE WAR?... AND HE'S DEADLY SERIOUS
There is already a war in Syrian for several years now and about 250,000 innocent people have been killed and the same number in combat.
Who are accountable for those crimes? No one.
The international community is in silence in their materialistic comfort and the countries supporting either side care not about people lives not even the ones of their own nationality.
At least 80 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun in north-western Syria.
Hundreds suffered symptoms consistent with reaction to a nerve agent after what the opposition and Western powers said was a Syrian government air strike on the area on Tuesday morning. The Syrian military denied using any chemical agents, while its ally Russia said an air strike hit a rebel depot full of chemical munitions.
SistaCallie: The source said the President had not firmly decided to go ahead with it but said he was discussing possible actions with Defense Secretary James Mattis . Trump is relying on the judgment of Mattis, according to the source .
The moron christian american un ambassador in blue dress needs her head red. Putin has already attested assad did not drop chemical weapons they suspect the chemicals exploded from saudi and american supported terrorists ammunition stockpile. I'm talking about the same moron sunni terrorists that recently launched the failed three prong attack upon the democratically elected syrian government three weeks ago, an attack that probably killed hundreds.
Its time the knee jerking stopped plying on children for there grossly dishonest american lead proper-grander, as children are the same age as everyone else, just cycling rebirth in different time frame to others its there parents that are waging war on assad and as seen before the doctors are part of the terrorist group, the same clowns that moved from one city to present location playing out the same rubbish they were given corrupt western air time to play out before.
Meanwhile in the right now trump gets to rub is absurd level of wealth in the face of a communist scumbag sworn to pull down capitalism.
As usual early on...lots of info...some correct, some not. Latest is one airbase attacked, I've seen between 40-60 missiles launched, heavy Hezbollah casualties. Guess it'll all come out in the next few hours and days. Should be getting light soon in Syria....
Latest is 59 missiles fired. Russians were warned beforehand via U.S. commander to Russian commander. Pentagon has flight plan of Syrian bomber that dropped the previous gas attacks and will release it soon.
All my posts are what I'm hearing via news channels...."grain of salt" and all that jazz....
Airfield itself...where the Syrian aircraft that carried the chemical weapons used...was the target. Stores of chemicals weren't the target as to ensure against releasing harmful agents. Wanted to stop use of runway for future attacks. Point seems to be ..."Stop using chemicals against your own civilians".
^^^^^^^^^ The latest compiled from various U.S. tv news channels. (Not my views you Trump haters, you know who you are I'll save my views after more info is released)
