The Latest on U.S.-led missile strikes on Syria (all times local):
10:10 a.m.
The Pentagon says a Russian "disinformation campaign" has already begun over the U.S.-led airstrikes in Syria.
Chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said Saturday that "there has been a 2,000 percent increase in Russian trolls in the past 24 hours."
The U.S., Britain and France said they launched Saturday's strike to punish Syrian President Bashar Assad for a suspected chemical attack against civilians in the town of Douma outside Damascus. Opposition leaders and rescuers say more than 40 people, including many women and children, died in the suspected chemical attack.
Russia's Foreign Ministry says the attack was an attempt to derail an investigation into a purported chemical attack. The Foreign Ministry says facts presented by Russian investigators indicated that the purported attack was a "premeditated and cynical sham."

You know, whatever is happening, I wish I had $100 for every single time I’ve heard or read “Russian troll” in the past 1.5 years.
I could buy a whole lot of neat stuff with the money.
And add to my prepper supplies, too.
Right now, I’m more concerned with what liberals / Democrats are doing to my country than “Russian trolls’.
Maybe I’m just not focusing enough.
I’m sure Ralph Peters, Hillary supporter, will disagree with me.
Up until this morning we’ve been told we can’t bomb a chemical storage facility because it will cause a deadly plume of chemicals to spread across the land killing innocent people.
Then why do it? Do something meaningless to look like you're doing something? Bill Clinton excelled at crap like that.
Possibly somewhere there is a internet sniffer for troll activities.
Such an application could actually maintain a graphic representation after each event.
Echo chamber statistics made up by some underling and bantered about by senior officials as a statement of fact rather than random opinion.
Besides, North Korean and Chinese trolls would like credit for their hard work.
The Syrians and Russians said we did. It was their photos
It wasn’t a storage facility
I heard there’s a chemical warfare plant in your backyard.
I have as much evidence as you.
A Russian Troll is defined as anyone who doesn’t buy NSA/CIA/DoD disinformation regardless of nationality.
Putin worshipping scum will be here in 4..3..2..
It was called a storage facility on the news. In fact, I believe the Pentagon called it a storage facility. I may be wrong.
Good point...100% of the missiles hit their target. Trump’s response to Russia and Syria was perfect.
Never ever trust the Russians.
I don’t trust anyone.
Well said...Putin worshippers need to be exposed for what they are.....scum
Isn’t the Pentagon supposed to be about planning war or developing weapons to prevent war?
I watched at least a dozen Tomahawk missiles being shot down with my eyes.
I don’t believe the Ministry of Truth, sorry.
There wasn’t one. We hit an empty building and a university.
Pure, unadulterated...propaganda. Spoon fed to gullible Neo’s.
Uh, no, we voted for Trump because the alternative was Hillary and an even more effed up Supreme Court.
