Details are still emerging and the reports have not been independently verified.

Well, then either the US is lying -- nothing new here -- or Trump used the Israelis for the first strike, knowing that Russia will not retaliate in force against them. no other options I see.
Q predicted this
If the Pentagon is denying it, and the NY Times is saying it happened.
That tells me this attack is by the Deep State.
The NYT article is from ..
Last year
“Yep we elected him to turn a blind eye on Chem. weapons on Civilians where our Troops are not that far from the Theater of Operations.”
Concur on that. If they get used on America or our allies, then I’d support a response. We’ve got better things to do.
“we didn’t elect Trump to do this shit.”
Who said we did? You’re gullible if you believe the Fake News.
How many years and how many US Presidents have launched ineffective and symbolic Cruise missile attacks? Tis but a slap on the wrist...
Sorry, but when you sign up you follow orders. It’s just the system. But having said that, yes, get out of Syria. And having said THAT, cruise missiles are not boots on the ground.
First strike against what? The airfields? Big whoop ... been there done that.
I hope we’re not part of this.
Right. If a student gets beaten up in the school yard and you aren’t sure who did it, you should just take a flamethrower to the autistic kid in the remedial class ... because you want the school administration to know you mean business. WTF?
“Who said we did? You’re gullible if you believe the Fake News.”
It certainly sounds like some of the Neocons here want up bombing the crap out of Syria.
Yes, comparing geopolitical gamesmanship is exactly like 5th grade.... Uh, no. And your analogy is ridiculous.

Don’t think you have any idea just how dangerous these games are.
Even if it’s just a 1% risk of all out escalation, how many times can the dice be rolled before getting that result?
You willing to bet the lives of your loved ones on it turning out OK every single time, forever?
Sorry but “I was just following orders” is no excuse. You will still be held accountable.
We learned that at Nuremberg trials.
A little Israeli ‘freelancing’?
Maybe?
