Let me wrap my head around this....Islamic terorism is largely the enterprising brainchild of the Saudis who are essentially Sunni Muslims. The Sunnis are ...in spirit if not overtly, welcoming the rise of the Sharia law and global terrorism in an effort to spread islam and the Sharia to the entire planet of humans.
Sunnis fostered the launching of ISIS strongholds in Syria. Assad gases the Sunnis.
I'm not saying he is right or wrong.
Trumps admin. Is fighting terrorists aka Sunnis. And he tamahawks Assad's forces.
This sure looks like a rigmarole, ass popping,conundramatic, martio-political enigma of a war against terrorism.
