50+ missiles @ $1M+ and THAT'S all we get??? embarrassing... dint even go through the revetments
The world is now on notice-the gutless punk is no longer in the Oval Office. Trump said Syria crossed the line. 24 hours later they paid the price.
From what I have seen, they’re still trying to figure out how they can spin this into a Trump failure.
Doesn’t look like much that a few guys with spackle, shovels, and brooms can’t fix. Those jets seem to be unharmed.
The armchair generals here don’t have all the facts. I trust that Trump made the decision based on the facts and intelligence that was available to him.
All I have seen is some holes in the runways that can be patched up in a few days.
I suspect (or hope) the video is selected to minimize the damage done. The runway “craters” shown are pretty small and they seem to have missed the planes in the concrete shelters.
Maybe the limited damage was intentional?
Seems like a lot of noise over some dented pavement. Were we throwing squibs at them?
I suspect the enemies of America are thinking along those lines.
Looks like they didn’t use bunker busters on the hardened hangers
They were probably the chem weapons their Russian pals snuck in from Iraq via that large convoy prior to the gulf war.
Video is pure spin to minimize the attack. You’re telling me that video showed the results of 40 to 50 Tomahawk Cruise Missile strikes? hahahahahaha. Looks like they might have filmed a few areas where the shrapnel landed.
The comments here are retarded. A RUSSIAN video shows one apparently intact aircraft, and the conclusion is that 59 1000 pound high explosive warheads did nothing.
Retarded!

Video shows little which is expected since it’s a Russian video.
I hope we did more damage than the tomahawks cost.
“Some of the Liberals are happy about this and that is a bad sign.”
That narrative is an epic fallacy. Just because Pelosi & Schumer support a military action doesn’t make the action unwise or unwarranted.
Lot’s of FUD being spewed this morning regarding this attack. Never-trumpers thought there was blood in the water for them to feed on. Instead they are just drowning in their own idiocy, IMO.
While another video shows massive damage, if you think a tomahawk just shows a black smudge on the pavement you will believe anything.
The camera shots are narrow in their focus. This is to mask or minimize the damage. The Russians will both exaggerate the provocation and minimize the damage.
As to the damages: The runways can be repaired and the vintage warcraft are not much more expensive than the cruise missiles are.
Typically we spend $100 million to cause several millions in damages or less. The other side, through IEDs and such, spends hundreds of dollars to achieve enormous consequences in terms of terror. The mathematics of a war of attrition aren’t favorable.
BTW The concrete and dirt bunkers look relatively inexpensive and robust.
Arial bombing has its limitations. As for the signal being sent, we can’t yet say whether it is pinpricks (that set us back more than they cost them), or whether the other side now recognizes that there’s a new sherif in town. On the other hand, making Syria or a part of it into a no-fly zone can turn the tide on the ground. We could use Syria to field test our F-22s and F-35s.

video of Amir Tsarfati saying Israeli intelligence is positive it was Assad behind attacks.

I doubt that those happy liberals have the same intelligence that President Trump has.
And the opinions of happy liberals are generally unsubstantial.
