Press pool in Lima with Vice President Pence is rushing back to the hotel unexpectedly. White House is telling the press pool that’s here in Washington to gather.

Since Assad has had a week lead time here, I doubt the strikes dent him much

Trump to speak to nation about Syria in about 5 minutes, according to the press

You can merge with the other thread in a half hour or so, but everyone should know it's at this point right now.

edit: it's happening, the strikes and speech (UK and France doing it too)

Says there will be no indefinite war, but the bombs will drop until Assad can no longer develop chemical weapons

Sounds like a speech written by Bolton

Trump's speaking right now.  Says the strike is happening in concert with the UK and France.

I support the President on this, which I actually can't believe I am posting on a public forum, for a President that I believe is in immediate need of impeachment for a wide variety of behaviors.

Agree on all counts.  This needs doing and I support it, but it doesn't change anything about the many other reasons for wanting Trump out of office..

Sometimes bad people can do good things (and good people can do bad things).

Does anyone know of a channel (website) that has any cameras in Damascus/Syria, which is displaying the incoming missiles and the damage in the area?

I’m opposed to any and all intervention, but do I trust Trump to competently run a surgical strike? Yes.

Trump's speech that I am listening to as I post has to be one of the worst Presidential addresses to the Nation when it comes to authorization of military actions of any President in modern American Political History (1960+)....

I am deeply concerned and troubled about the influence of Bolton within the current administration and how Trump that ran as an "Anti-War Republican" and a revival of the Vulcans within this Administration.

Still, the reality is that the Syrian Regime with Russian approvals launched a massive chemical weapons attack against a Rebel stronghold in the Exurbs of Damascus, that causes a massive death of civilian non-combatants".

If the US is no longer willing to be the leader of the "Free World" on these issues, our key allies in the UK, France, and Israel, will act on their own....
