The United States launched dozens of cruise missiles Thursday night at a Syrian airfield in response to what it believes was the Syrian government's use of banned chemical weapons blamed for having killed at least 100 people on Tuesday, U.S. military officials told NBC News.
The U.S. military fired at least 50 Tomahawk missiles intended for a single target — Ash Sha'irat in Homs province in western Syria, the officials said.

I only hope this was (quietly) well planed with Russia and Assad. It will shut the ignorant mongers up for a while.
Now let’s launch 500,000 crowd pleasers on the islam filth.
Maybe its just a shot across the bow.
It would be ironic if any civilians were killed, though.
We are ISIS now.
I just got a message that ABC News just broke in with a special report on this. I hope President Trump is not getting bad advice on this.
CGato
Frightening !!! Not good.
.
That was fast...
I sure as hell hope we have proof this was an attack by Assads forces.
50 Tomahawks at one airfield!!???
Better hope no Ruskies were practicing touch-and-goes at the time.
I hope this NONSENSE ends quickly and well.
There’s no clear good guy in this fight
We should fight ISIS and the taliban...let somebody else do this assad stuff if they want.
Disappointing.
If we Tomahawk a base storing chemical weapons, we’ll release them in a big cloud.
CNN said that US Intel confirmed it was Assad with the chemical attack on his own people
Our president makes decisions fast.
I’m thinking he can make his own decision and not run to “the donors” about what to do.
ISIS would use chem-war no problem to get exactly the result we see here.
Hard to believe Russia would back it.
I hope not...
Attacking Assad, who is fighting ISIS, is a monumentally stupid idea.
Jen Griffin reporting a ‘limited’ incursion, I know DJT better and bigger stuff is fixing to start raining down.
Godspeed, CINC. I know you didn’t want to do this today.
There is no proof. Trump has proven himself to be one easily fooled by the Islamists.
I have a feeling this was planned way in advance!
Now we know why Bannon was removed!
