Haley Warns US ‘Locked And Loaded' If Assad Uses Chemical Weapons Again
2018-04-15
[Daily Caller] As Russia and the U.S. traded barbs at the United Nations over the coalition strike on Syria, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley warned that the U.S. is "locked and loaded" should the Syrian regime decide to use chemical weapons again.

"I spoke to President Trump this morning and he said if the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded," Haley said at an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting called by Russia. "When our president draws a red line, our president enforces the red line," she added, referencing former President Barack Obama’s failure to follow through on his threat to use military force in Syria should the Assad regime use illegal chemical weapons.

In response to a deadly chemical weapons attack allegedly perpetrated by the Syrian government under the leadership of Bashar al-Assad last weekend, a coalition force consisting of American, British, and French naval and aviation assets bombed three targets in Damascus and Homs said to be affiliated with Syria’s chemical warfare infrastructure early Saturday morning.

Russian guns were silent during the attack, the Pentagon revealed at a press briefing Saturday.

#2  We don't actually know the one that already happened wasn't pure Paliwood, but it got the desired response. So, I expect some more.

#1  May future archaeologists find Battle Axes in her tomb.

Her statement is an excellent representation of Mr. Trumps judgement. Glad it was spoken.
