...... of this rocket attack? I recall t-Rump bombed an airport last year but we gave advance notice, therefore

the Russians and their equipment were already gone when we attacked, so we hit an empty installation.

If we had advanced notice here , why in the hell weren't our troops evacuated before the strike?

And why aren't Democrats screaming (the equivalent of) Benghazi !!! Benghazi !!!!! Benghazi!!!!????
