u.s. britain and france say their decision to unleash airstrikes on syrian government targets was necessary to stop the government from using chemical weapons well the u.s. president donald trump is proposing all involved tweeting mission accomplished president bashar assad though has the scribe the attacks as brutal western aggression and his allies are standing firmly by his side so the. coordinated action saw more than one hundred missiles fired from warships and fighter jets at what the western allies described as chemical weapons sites now russia has called for another emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss what it says is an unjustified attack on a sovereign states while the syrian opposition meanwhile says the strikes won't change the course of the seven year war which has been going assad's way since rush i began to assist his government in two thousand and fifteen so let's take a closer look at where the missiles were dropped the target near damascus according to the pentagon it was a center that had been researching and producing chemical as well as biological wea

and he also said britain and france join the u.s. as part of what he called the coordinated operation that's intended to show western resolve in the face of what is viewed as assad's persistent violations of international law. the events in syria certainly complicate the president's plans for the region. before reports of the attack there, he said the u.s. military would withdraw from syria very soon following the defeat of islamic state militants and last weekend, that all changed. he condemned the chemical attack in a series of tweets and he warned there would be a big price on to pay. the other thing we're tracking this morning is reaction to all of this from lawmakers which so far seems to be split for the most part among party lines. most republicans are backing the president without reservation but some are criticizing the president for failing to get congressional authorization for this missile strike. both democratic and republican lawmakers say they want the administration to explain its strategy for the months ahead. >> and

from the start of the war, the u.s., britain and their allies called for president assad to go. they didn't back their words with deeds. when the president was vulnerable, the u.s. and u.k.os not to act. now, he has the firm backing of iran's supreme leader, and ofa' course ru's president putin. that makes him stronger now than at any time since the war began in 2011. it is hard to see what the west can do to change that. thamericans and the britis missed their chance. in the last 48 hours, syria's mini-world war has been heating up. this is said to be an israeli jet crossing lebanon. in february, the israelis had a plane shot down as ihit the same target, an airbase. e hitting rbase was not about chemical weapons but israel's fight with iran. supporters of president assado took te streets in aleppo, i the ciwhich the coalition between the syrian regime, the russians and the iranians score -- scored their first significant victory. the'till look to be the war' big winners, and it is hard to nsee how western retaliat for the latest chemical attack, is going to change that. jeremy
