Many of the congressional Republicans who are praising President Donald Trump's decision to strike a Syrian airfield were opposed to President Obama's request to approve a similar action against Syria in 2013.
Trump ordered the launch of more than 50 tomahawk cruise missiles on Thursday in retaliation for Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad's reported use of chemical weapons against his own people. In August of 2013, after Assad used chemical weapons in a similar scenario against people in the Syrian city of Ghouta, Obama requested congressional permission to launch air strikes against the Assad regime.
Many Republicans opposed his request. One of the most prominent was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who on Friday tweeted out his support for Trump's strike, writing, "This was a clear signal from America that Bashar al Assad can no longer use chemical weapons against his own people with impunity."

Sweeping Generalizations do not foster intelligent conversation.
Way to go. Paint a entire group with the same broad strokes just to probe how much you detest people that you do not agree with!
When deserved then it is justified
But in Obama's defense he did draw a red line and got rid of all the chemical weapons remember?
It seems like just yesterday the left was going on about what a great diplomat the community organizer was.
FFS I think he is still trying to lead from behind.
Too bad the red lines he drew were using water based paint in the sand on a surf line. They didn"t last long....
