Ahead of attack, Hillary Clinton called for strikes against Syrian airfields
Hours before the U.S. launched airstrikes against Syria, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton spoke out Thursday about how she would respond to Tuesday's chemical attack in Syria , promoting U.S. action to prevent further attacks with civilian casualties.
Speaking at the Women in the World summit in New York City, Clinton said that the U.S. "should have been more willing to confront [Syrian President Bashar al-Assad]," before Russia got involved in the country's civil war and with Iran's participation limited to ground-based assistance.
"Assad had an air force and that air force is the cause of most of the civilian deaths as we’ve seen over the years and as we saw again in the last few days," said Clinton.
"I really believe we should have and still should take out his airfields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them."

B...b...b...but when she was SoS and Obama was THE President, Trump was incredibly, vehemently, almost violently (if you can call slammed the keys on his phone really, really hard) opposed to attacking Syria! Why did he take her advice now? Why did he do just what he said, only days before the election, Hillary would do and that it would start WWIII?
Ohhhh! I know! He did it because Uncle Vlad set it up and told him it would improve his ratings...uh...excuse me..."popularity poll numbers"...if he did and Putin would have actually been mad if Clinton did the same thing. Because Clinton is not his little Donnie lap dog.
The way the Trump administration is going, Trump will probably end up firing Rex Tillerson and replacing him with Hillary Clinton.
He'd be smart to.
