russians warned...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Wasn't that the whole point?

[HoneyBadger]

2. Iranians were on base according to Nance

Obviously involved. Child murderers.

[uncle ray]

7. it took trump what, 9 days after taking office to murder children?

[EX500rider]

11. I doubt there were any children on a active wartime air base

[bullwinkle428]

12. Botched Navy SEAL raid that killed a bunch of kids was 9 days into his reign.

3. YEAP !!! Bullshit attack ... & Mattis is reporting we were on the "deescalation" line with Russians

... before the attack

[Chasstev365]

4. Wag the Dog!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Reports that Russians shot down multiple cruise missiles. . . . nt

[onecaliberal]

6. It's a distraction. Period. He doesn't care about those people

[Solly Mack]

8. Seriously. If he cared, he would not have banned them from coming.

His words show how little he cares.

[global1]

10. So When The Reports Come Out Tomorrow Morning That....

he didn't crater the runways; that many of the missile's were shot down; and the Russians were warned - who will Trump blame?

[Doreen]

18. He will blame Obama.

[KittyWampus]

9. Can't be too cynical. I couldn't argue against those calling "wag the dog"

[sarisataka]

13. Runways are very hard

to seriously damage and easily repaired. The facilities that support the airfield are much more effective targets.

OTH it is not like the Syrians only have one airbase. Within 24 hours they units based at the targeted base can be fully operational at a different base.

[flamingdem]

14. Even the shooting down of missiles by the Russians stinks of BS

All theatre for the libtards who fall for the Trump has a real SAD now and wants to be real WORLD LEADER schtick.

So many saying this was the right response, so WHY did they avoid cratering the runways.

That sure says it all. Assad will be back in biz in a jiffy

Putin is smiling and petting his trump lookalike poodle

[duncang]

15. Not sure so if anyone knows for sure please correct me.

I don't think tomahawks are really designed for major damage on the runways. And the damage they would do it wouldn't have as big of effect on being able to use the airstrip. They probably considered the cruise missles would work better on the other targets they chose.

[spanone]

17. tomahawk is a 1000 pound bomb. it would leave a substantial crater.

[duncang]

20. But since it is a low flying missile

Wouldn't it be more likely to do minimal damage something flat to the ground? Some thing like the bunker buster bombs which burrow in and make deep holes to me would seem to be the ones preferred to crater a runway.

Anyways even though dipshit donnie said he knew more then the generals. I'm sure all he did was run around in circles and ask what should he do. Then let the pentagon figure out what the strike would be.

[sarisataka]

19. You are correct

a Tomahawk would leave a 'small' crater in a runway which would be very quickly repaired.

That same Tomahawk used against a more vulnerable target, such as fueling facilities or even a parts warehouse will have a much greater effect on operations and take longer to repair.

16. Please let this be reported tomorrow as a YUGE FAIL

Li'l Donnie's approval cannot be allowed to rise.
