The satisfaction of many on this thread to maintain the ineffective status quo of the Obama administration is disgusting to me. You’re quite right. This was a measured response.
FWIW to those who can think clearly at this moment, Col Allen West has an article that is clearly supportive of the reasons, rationale and tactics of this action. Here’s a link, I’m somehow unable to copy the text to post it as a separate thread:

Good piece, thanks.
Yeah, I was already thinking about that point he makes that this action gives the lie to all the imbeciles of the left who claim that Trump is linked to Putin or beholden to Putin. President Trump just thrashed Putin’s chief ally in the world with 59 cruise missiles. Not exactly the behavior of someone close to Putin or caring about what Putin wants.
The whole “Trump-Russia” propaganda meme was always ludicrous, but tonight provided explosive proof that President Trump is not interested in Russia’s interests.
