Not really. Anyone who says they’re not bad actors is wrong.

Those of us that want Assad to stay in power know the WORST actors are infinitely worse.

Christians were safe under Assad and Israel smashed the heck out of them on a regular basis.

Who do you think we can be lucky enough to have ruling Syria? A constitutionalist? :)

No, Saddam and Qaddafi and Assad were/are better than insane jihadists.

targeting weapons regularly sent from Iran via commercial and military cargo planes...

IS that a fluke or is Reuters admitting that Iran regularly sends weapons to kill Israelis to the Lebanese

In the past these attacks were carried out by glide bombs. They’re a type of cruise missile, but with no motor. They are launched from the Lebanese border so the planes do not overfly Syria.

(Incidentally, didn’t Russia said Israel’s days of freely accessing Syrian air space were over.)

I’m having a good laugh at the moment. A few of my Liberal friends have been up in arms over how we have not done enough against Assad - in their view. Yet they will be crying foul over this attack by Israel - whom they are often attacking when they are not attacking Assad.

This almost certainly had to be another F-35I mission. Syria has serious air defenses, including Russian manned S-400 systems.
