Complete Headline: Thank you, Mr Trump! First images of damage at Assad’s burnt-out airbase emerge as tearful Syrians cheer US missile raid

These are the first images of the carnage caused by Donald Trump's Tomahawk barrage on al-Assad's badly damaged airbase as Syrians thanked the President for the raid.

US missiles appear to have shattered hangars, destroyed at least nine Syrian jets, weapons and a fuel store, as well as leaving left giant craters in the runway at al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs.

Its radar system and surface-to-air missile defences were also damaged - but crucially the laser-guided missiles avoided the Sarin stores there.

“I hope Trump has concrete evidence for doing this...”
“Because Russia has cruise missiles too.”

But Trump and Putin are buddies! Fact, Putin elected

Assad already fully supports Hezbollah, the bunch that blew up a Jewish center in Argentina and has already been active south of the border training narcoterrorists...with the help of Cuba.
And he was more than happy to support ISIS back when he thought they would be too busy fighting American troops to threaten him.

John McCain, the Neo-Cons, Barack Obama and ISIS give the attack a Thumbs-Up.

Even worthless NObama & the ruskies did what? Another headline today. Syria's government was supposed to have gotten rid of its chemical weapons in 2014. What happened?

>>>I hope Trump has concrete evidence for doing this...

He ought to, because he planned it. He had the CIA plant the gas so that he could have a show of strength while dining with the Chinese Premier. Hey, it is as plausible as all the other deep state conspiracies being thrown around.

many of us, and especially President Trump, can walk and chew gum at the same time.

For those of you that can’t, I know it’s hard to understand.

Expect to see ISIS attacks disguised as Syrian atrocities in the near future.

Starting around midnight last night I began to see reports that lead me to believe this missile strike was little more than a staged TV drama.

And We are in Syrian airspace WITHOUT the permission of the Syrian government.


And Russia is in Ukrainian territory without the permission of the Ukrainian government. Going to get rough for them there if Putin starts playing games with AAA in Syria.

The other side of that coin is that it also makes the other side look at those tactics.

We have a lot of soft targets here.


Yep. For decades I’ve been wondering when the first “suitcase nuke” would be detonated in the US. It’s taken longer than I thought it would, I admit. And I suspect it’s harder than I thought as well.

But give ‘em enough motivation...not that we should cower, and Assad is not the one that brings this risk. It’s the Islamic zealots that we have to watch.

The Russians probably gave us the coordinates and maps. They obviously didn’t tip off the Syrians.

The SAM’s weren’t able to do their job.
