Both the pro-government and pro-opposition supporters are cheering this morning. Pro-opposition supporters are happy the government was bombed. Meanwhile, pro-government supporters are claiming victory over the attack.

Cuba has just issued an official condemnation of the Syria strike this morning.

Leith-I don’t really get the Pentagon’s statement. They claimed three targets, but so many videos in Damascus were captured of cruise missiles targeting several areas.,/font color=blue>

*******************************

EHSANI2- FRENCH DEFENSE MINISTER PARLY:RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN WARNED AHEAD OF STRIKES.

Leith Aboufadel ‏- This contrasts what the pentagon said. I don’t know what to believe

DespoilerofHope - They did, #USA didn't. More importantly: #Russia knew and didn't targeted any of these missiles or their launch Sites. Wonder why....

I think a lot of folks aren’t factoring in that CINC is having to deal with Israel’s equivalent of our deep state, too, which is likely far swampier. Or better at being swampy.

It was all done for show to appease and quiet the hawks who were demanding the President DO SOMETHING!

Trump even gave they Syrians warning in giving his speech. 'Hey, guys, we're about to bomb you'.

Gave them time to leave and minimize causalities.

"These people are stupid. Fireworks."

We would be doing Russia a favor by getting rid of the evil dictator All Russia cares about is whomever is in charge lets them have their port / air bases It’s all territory to the Russians: Personalities make no difference.

My POV is that the military has no duty to share certain info with reporters. Such as was RU informed or not. Not the reporters (who are mostly enemies) duty or right to know military niceties, plans etc.
