Babies ARE beautiful.
Murdered babies are victims of evil.
Can you not grasp the idea that Trump may actually believe the above?
He's using dead babies - the most effective emotive logo - to deceive us. If the attack was 'just' and not pipeline based we wouldn't need to see dead babies which mentally scar us.
As I recall the push to invade Kuwait was promoted along with "baby incubators being unplugged".

In a surreal almost diabolical way, Trump is brilliant at manipulating the narrative. And if you question his motivation it's almost biblical heresy here at the New ATS. No questions allowed!
When I listened to the "beautiful babies" speech the NLP was so blatant and transparent. People are so stupid.

You're last paragraph leads me to believe you are above 30 years old?
Forgive me for drawing on assumptions but the generations earlier do not see the blatancy.

Because he cares about babies?
Only the ones killed in gas attacks? Those are the only ones killed by the Syrian military?
I'd like to know how many babies the US has killed in it's shock and awe wars on the axis of evil.
The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening: Men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas. Others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath. A father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons, and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off-limits -- a crime against humanity, and a violation of the laws of war.
When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied. The question now is what the United States of America, and the international community, is prepared to do about it. Because what happened to those people -- to those children -- is not only a violation of international law, it’s also a danger to our security.
This is not a world we should accept. This is what’s at stake. And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime’s ability to use them, and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use.

No but he knows that those are words that will resonate with his support base.

Trump killed babies in Yemen and called it a successful mission. Airstrikes have killed countless thousands of kids in the Middle East in the past 15 years.
People are using the deaths of these poor kids as the justification for military action - just as Muslims justify attacks on us because of the deaths of their children.

How many babies died under the so called Free Syrian Army which turns out to have Pro Jihadi elements?
U.S. military probing more possible civilian deaths in Yemen raid
... which the Pentagon said also killed 14 militants. However, medics at the scene said about 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement that an investigating team had "concluded regrettably that civilian non-combatants were likely killed" during Sunday's raid. It said children may have been among the casualties.
