To me, this was the most interesting part of the article "Many of the most head-snapping comments I heard came from Obama’s own top advisers, who had long pushed him to confront Assad more aggressively and viewed his 2013 refusal to take military action against Syria after drawing a “red line” on chemical weapons use as a major American foreign policy debacle. There’s no love lost in this group for Trump, who found themselves in the uncomfortable position of cheering a leader they still both loathe and fear."

Arrogance is not a bad thing in a leader. In fact, it is a necessary trait. However, when combined with ignorance, you get hubris and then you get President Obama. No, I'm not saying he was "stupid". "Ignorance" is merely the lack of knowledge. "Stupidity" is the inability to learn. President Obama could have learned much but surrounded himself with sycophants and ignored the few who had something constructive to offer. As he often said, he was a better speech writer than his speech writers, a better politician than his political advisors, etc, etc, etc. He never learned because he refused to learn and thus America and the world suffered.

GySgt John Olson - So what is worse, someone who changes his mind and does something good for someone else or someone who refuses to be persuaded no matter the situation because that would show that he is no infallible.

GySgt John Olson - ...then came the chemical attack. Circumstances change and decisions must change with them, mustn't they? Trump was commenting on the situation that existed when Obama was President. All reasonable comments in my opinion.

As many on the left would call Trump a Putin puppet, it was BO who gave in to Russia after his "red line" warning or was he just a coward. Either way, the US lost credibility on the world stage. How about that demwits, your puppet dance just lost it's feet.

And Obama was against gay marriage, right up until he wasn't just before the 2012 election. He said he "evolved" on the issue. Not that Trump's decision is even in the same league as gay marriage, but I say that to say this: Trump did what was morally right, not what was politically expedient. People here I have read over two days literally cannot give appreciation to Trump for saving children from being gassed, or at least providing retribution. He saved the children that Obama let die, let's face it, if something was done like Obama said would happen if gas was used, events in Syria would have taken a different trajectory. God bless President Trump.

SPC Jeff Daley, PhD - That's the usual pattern when a country devalues its currency. They keep repeating that there is no such action being contemplated --- right up to when they devalue.

Syrian survivor to Trump: Thank you
Kassem Eid, who survived a 2013 chemical gas attack in Syria, expresses his gratitude to President Trump for his missile strike of a Syrian airbase.
Not everyone agrees with you gunny. Has anyone asked the refugees if they really want to leave or are many of them leaving cowards who refuse to fight for their families and homes.
