Syrian air base destroyed in missile attack from sea

A Syrian air defense base near the port city of Latakia was completely destroyed

Big difference between an air base with a couple miles of concrete runway and an air defense base which might just be a couple of missile launchers and a radar.

Over there its most likely a day care center with a couple of towel heads with beat up old toyota p/u wiff a couple of ak 47’s

However... I could see 0bama needing a diversion from the 0bamacare and Benghazi woes, might set up a distraction for the MSM.

It’s about time for wag the dog.

It’s about time for wag the dog.

Indeed. We should be on the lookout for that. But this isn't it. It's just the Joooooooos taking care of business.

It’s good to know that somebody is still on the job.

Air defense base? I hope there were no Russians there..............

[txhurl]

yep

The rebels have no air force and are not threatened by surface to air missiles. The only logical conclusion is that they were attacked by someone with an air force, or someone who wishes to facilitate the operation of a hostile air force over Syria. Basically, that means either Israel, or (remotely possible) the U.S.

[Navy Patriot]

Not good, well up on the North Med coast of Syria, not a place where Israel worries about any kind of missiles that would be moved into Lebanon.

Lack of acknowledgment indicates it was an intentional act of war.

Obama wagging the dog by sacrificing Turkey?

Whoever did this will get no cover from the UN.

[Gator113]

If this turns out bad, Obama knew nothing about it. If it turns out good, Obama will have launched the missile from his bed.

It is odd that I can only find this report in a few foreign sources, like Jpost and other mid-east sources, and they all cite “other sources”.

You just know that it was an American sub or else SpecOps that did it.

Unless Zero suddenly grew a pair it wasn’t us.

[lafarge]

Which international or even national law allows obama or israel to bomb a Syrian military base? Seems like an unprovoked attack to me. I hope Putin enters the fray to protect Assad, otherwise the muzzie nuts get their own country.

[bert]

I’ll bet it was Turkey acting for the coalition working to exterminate ASSad. Now that they do not need to screw around with the vacialting Obama led Americans, they can get er done.

Maybe Israel is clearing out the air route on its way to Iran.
