OP
The media keeps talking about his 'ineffective' missile strike the last time he struck Syria.

To change the news cycle.

Honestly, I don't think even bombing Syria will do much in the way of distraction of this shambolic presidency.

You never know with Commander Cuckoo at the helm.

And we know he already has it in for Iran.

(18,837 posts)3. He might.
The president frequently watches and reacts to Fox News programming, and the public relations chairman of the Syrian American Council interrupted an interview Monday to ask Trump to respond to the chemical weapon attack that killed dozens in Douma.
I would be surprised if I didnt see any strikes, said Bassam Rifai, of the nonprofit Syrian American Council. The president needs to take swift and decisive action right now.
Rifai then turned away from host Eric Shawn and looked directly at the camera.
President Trump, Im speaking to you directly, Rifai said. Do not take the same mistake that President Obama had made. The action that you had taken to take out the air base, that was important, that was strong that was a very strong message. What we need to do right now is to take out Assads air force. If we ground all of his air force, we wont have the capability to attack Syrians by the air anymore.

What they need to focus on is the fact that he shot off 50 cruise missiles at a cost of a million dollars each, in an area where there was nothing worth damaging. Million dollars per missiles should not be used lightly. They should have a contemplated target worth their value or else you are just using missile strikes as a distraction.

Not the Cohen raid.
