The man is GOLD! Who doesn’t love James Mattis? The secretary of defense warned Assad that the strike was in direct response to last week’s deadly gas attack in Syria and that the United States will respond to any future chemical weapons attacks in kind. Like I said, GOLD!
Now, here are some pretty videos of those bad boys launching!
“The U.S. military strike against Shayrat airfield on April 6 was a measured response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons,” Mattis wrote. “The president directed this action to deter future use of chemical weapons and to show the United States will not passively stand by while Assad murders innocent people with chemical weapons, which are prohibited by international law and which were declared destroyed.”
“When you gas a baby, you will see a response from this president.”
