Thanks LTC (Join to see) I was resounding earlier and got bumped from this discuss to one of PO1 William "Chip" Nagel discussion.
I am glad that UK, USA and France coordinated attacks in response to the chemical attacks.
"The US and France have also launched co-ordinated strikes in response to an alleged chemical attack on the Syrian town of Douma last week.
Prime Minister Theresa May said there was "no practicable alternative to the use of force" to deter the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime.
Syrian state media called the strikes a "violation of international law".
Several large explosions have been heard in the Syrian capital Damascus.
In a statement Mrs May said that the Syrian regime had demonstrated a "persistent pattern of behaviour" when it came to the use of chemical weapons, that "must be stopped".
"We have sought to use every possible diplomatic channel to achieve this," the prime minister said.
"This is not about intervening in a civil war. It is not about regime change.
"It is about a limited and targeted strike that does not further escalate tensions in the region and that does everything possible to prevent civilian casualties."

Chemicals are nasty stuff, let's hope this is effective and they stick to their guns.
