President Trump to Make Statement About Syria
WASHINGTON President Trump is expected to make a statement about Syria on Friday evening at the White House, an administration official said.
Mr. Trump has threatened military action against Syria for days as retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack by the forces of President Bashar al-Assad on a Damascus suburb last week.

Was he overruled or did he change his mind or what? And where is Congress? Is this going to be another paltry strike on a deserted airfield like last time?

(14,167 posts)12. This doesn't feel like it's going to be another paltry strike.
It feels like they are looking for a MAJOR distraction -- which really worries me.
Where the hell IS congress?! I have called both my senators offices asking them about this - yesterday.

concerned.
I don't think excited is the correct word here. My country is bombing another country.
