The ciC is actually a half-black puppet of the oligarchs. But he’s so much a drug-addled sexual degenerate he is probably now believing he rules without masters. That will be his undoing, for the oligarchs do not allow their puppets to get too far afield.

All of the cruise missiles were ours.
I would ask the Pentagon whether Syrian radars were turned off while coalition aircraft were in Syrian air space.

12 It is for show, no doubt. How many squadrons of bombers and fighters do you think our four Middle Eastern Allies have? Doubt their combined strength would equal one fully equipped and manned American fighter/bomber wing. Planes and munitions we sold 'em (at least that keeps our defense industry employed) and trained their command pilots over here.

Well, sure, the ‘Rabs are a lot of help. But I was a little disappointed that not one Arab aircraft carrier showed up. They must have all had previous commitments? And I still think it’s neat that the arabs are shooting up at least some of the weapons that they probably bought to shoot at Israel. Muzzie-on-Mooslim violence is fine with me. At least they’re occupied stepping in their own shiite. At a minimum they’re/we’re setting Syria back a half century so next time they rebuild maybe they’ll learn how to use flush terlets. All those weapons we’re dropping will at least be creating pre-fab slit trenches-—should help keep the flies down?

For the most part. The majority of fighters are F-16s. The UAE, Jordan, and Qatar also have some Eurofighters and Mirages in their inventories.

I never new “all” could be defined as ‘vast majority’.
I miss the old days. Words meant things...or did I miss some sudden assault today bu another country?

I am trying very hard to find an error in your evauation. If I succeed you will hear from me but don’t hold your breath. I probably won’t live more than another twenty years or so.

"I miss the old days. Words meant things..." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Ah, yes, in the old days words had actual meanings but now people act like Humpty Dumpty in Through The Looking Glass. "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don'ttill I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' " "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to meanneither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be masterthat's all." Alice was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again. "They've a temper, some of themparticularly verbs, they're the proudestadjectives you can do anything with, but not verbshowever, I can manage the whole lot! Impenetrability! That's what I say!"[21]

B-1s made strikes since the first day. A warthog squadron was ordered to deploy earlier this week. If they haven’t already, suspect Buffs will be included at some point.
