The US launched 'dozens of precision airstrikes' in Syria on Sunday after rebels ousted longtime despotic leader Bashar al-Assad.
The strikes were carried out against known ISIS camps and operatives based in Central Syria, according to US Central Command.
This ongoing operation's objective was to prevent ISIS from taking advantage of the chaos and reorganizing after their attempt at a state collapsed in 2019, according to the Pentagon.
The US military struck 75 targets using war planes, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. So far, there are no indications of civilian life lost.
'There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute

It makes perfect sense. Getting involved in Moslem wars has always paid off for us.
My dad always said WW3 would start this way.

Trump stated, this is not our war, let's not get involved. Of course, moron vegetable bidet and no brain jackass Austin have to demonstrate the opposite so that we do not forget what q@@holes they are. If you tried you could not find a dumber pair.

We've been involved for years, including when Trump was president last time. He wiped out the ISIS in that area, but Joe let them reconstitute.

It’s possible that we are talking about two different issues and enemies. The Islamist groups that have taken over Syria are no doubt potential enemies of the USA as they have been designated as terrorist groups. But Biden and his crew claim that they bombed ISIS, a specific terrorist group in Syria that is an actual enemy of the USA based upon their past actions, and that the bombing was accomplished in order to keep them (ISIS) from reconstituting themselves as a fighting force in Syria. So we will have to wait for the result. Overall the USA should stay out of the Middle East Wars, but the USA, once they find an actual enemy of the USA someplace in the Middle East that poses a threat should take military action if appropriate.

There is a Russian air base and naval base in Syria. Biden is once again trying to start WW3.

Forget vandalizing the "T" on all the White House keyboards.
Crash the stock market. Start WWIII.
Unleash another virus.
That's their playbook.
But, as always, they leave out God.

Joe or his puppeteer is going to do whatever it takes to leave a mess for President Trump, and this one’s a doozy. It speaks volumes to the absolute obsession of this administration to harm President Trump’s ability to govern. These people are deadly serious about it so much so they would recklessly put us in the middle of another Middle East war. That place is like quicksand and will swallow many of our young men and women up before Trump even is inaugurated.
I cannot wait to be shed of these war mongering fools who believe every life on the planet is more valuable than our own men and women’s. Biden since he started cheerleading for the Ukraine war is clearly in that camp. He just could not gin up the rhetoric fast enough. Look what he has done to the poor Ukrainians, he has destroyed their lives and country and for what?
I think we all know it comes down to money. However, this display of recklessness has a much more immediate and dangerous consequence. Regardless of the reason, the American people are tired of fighting to enrich the fat cats in Washington. I know I am tired of watching our men and women come home in flag draped caskets or watch them deal with devastating injuries. Enough. We have tried endless war and it is just indefensible when they bypass any chance of vigorously advocating for negotiation.

To posters #9 & #11...
I'd say it's time to let Trump take over. In some ways, he already has. But he can't order the troops and that is something that needs to be done.

Not a surprise...the biden cabal is making as much trouble for President Trump as possible when he takes over....and although Assad was a tyrant and needed to be outside...this is opening a Pandora's box for President Trump...I'm sure he's thinking ahead and has a plan to stop this in it's tracks....but just as using American missiles to attack Russia was done for a more difficult negotiating plan for President Trump...so is this gesture.....

Looks like Biden is busily at work creating yet another hot steamy mess for President Trump to deal with. Biden hasn’t been this busy since the start of his administration when he undid everything Trump did to bring the invasion of illegals under control and created inflation that rivaled the Jimmy Carter inflation. The MSM has been ignoring this new batch of disasters Biden is creating to sabotage Trump before leaving office. It looks like Biden and the deep state is preparing to prevent President Trump from implementing the mandate he has been given by the American people.

It is not our monkey but WE take credit. President Dementia always was a moron.
At least we bombed with B52s without any civilian casualties. WE are amazing!
What is good for Raytheon is good for America and Israel.

The 0'Biden Regime is just trying to pretend that they weren't backing the ISIS / Al Qaeda types in Syria since the 0bama pResidency (with the Assistance of John McCain and his warmonger RINO buddies).

From the news reports I've read they targeted ISIS positions and dtockpiles That's good in my book! Nowhere should ISIS be given a chance to be reconstituted.
