The hubris coming from this crew is astounding... The Syrians (and the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians) will get a “vote” on the out come and they may be laying a trap with a very big surprise. I hope the Air bases in Cyprus have full AAW and counter ballistic missile coverage. The overhead assets will be locating all shipping in the eastern MED and the data may get to the CDASMs fast enough for targeting. Sinking a US warship would leave Obama looking like a fool which is certainly on Putin's wish list. Women and children are going to be concentrated around potential TLAM targets so the Chicago Jesus can get a personal lesson in 4th generational warfare.
Stand by... this will be ugly.
"Women and children are going to be concentrated around potential TLAM targets"
Bingo. New hospitals to be built in days.
