...The attack involved ships, aircraft and one submarine operating from the Eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and the Northern Arabian Sea against three targets -- one on the outskirts of Damascus and two others 90 miles to the north.
A total of 76 missiles -- 59 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMS) and 19 Joint Air to Surface Stand-Off Missiles-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) were fired at the sprawling Barzah Research and Development Center near Damascus, Marine Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the Joint Staff Director, said at a Pentagon briefing.
At the same precise time, the Hims-Shinsar chemical weapons storage facility near Homs, about 90 miles north of Damascus, was hit with a total of 22 weapons -- nine Tomahawks, eight British Storm Shadow missiles, three French Naval Cruise Missiles and two French SCALP land attack cruise missiles, McKenzie said.
The third target, the Hims--Shinsar chemical weapons bunker facility also near Homs, was hit with seven French SCALP missiles, McKenzie said.
In the Red Sea, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser Monterey fired 30 Tomahawks and the Arleigh
Burke-class destroyer Laboon fired seven TLAMs.
In the North Arabian Sea, the Arleigh Burke- class destroyer Higgins fired 23 TLAMS, McKenzie said.
In the eastern Mediterranean, the French frigate Languedoc fired three naval versions of the SCALP missile and the Virginia-class submarine John Warner fired six TLAMs.
In the air, two B-1B Lancer Bombers fired 19 JASSMs. Britain flew a combination of Tornado and Typhoon fighters to launch eight Storm Shadow missiles. France flew a combination of Rafale and Mirage fighters to launch a total of nine SCALP missiles.
The strike represented the the first employment of JASSM-ER weapons in combat.
...The JASSM-Extended Range has a higher survivability rate due to it its low-observable technology incorporated into the long-range, conventional air-to-ground precision-guided missile.

Plenty of B1 and iron.
Yippie cool war-where-we-shouldn’t-be exercise!
Wasting ordinance and endangering Syrian Christian lives all to advance Qatar-Saudi Syrian-Euro energy pipeline ambitions in order to keep Russia GasProm monopoly in check.
Great way to maintain moral authority And:
Further poke the bear
protect lives of the ISIS monsters we created
Continue to destabilize the country forcing more Syrian refugees to flee to Turkey and Europe.
Who-Raa
Like to see drone videos of these hits.
PRESTO...!!!
And NOW the Wall is built...
Swamps drained...
She’s locked up...!
“Virginia-class submarine John Warner “
John Warner!?
Sheesh.
5.56mm
The French and the Neocons always want to fight wars on the wrong side. Why are we playing their game?
3 bags full, sir..!!!
Comin' RIIIIIIGHT up..!

And what sane moral parent who loves and respects their child serving in the military would ever want to see them deployed / used in a completely dangerous unjustifiable illegal act of war for the sake of creative destruction, benefiting Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Military Industrial Complex and financiers that profit off geopolitical chaos?
We are Mystery Babyalon.
Someone needs to lock you up and build a wall around you.
Nobody was killed or even injured in these attacks, you hysterical loon.
This article is even newer and potentially more exciting:

When you’ve lost moral authority, you’ve lost everything that matters, ie: “Sir, why are we over here fighting Syria?”
How much is Putin paying you to troll FR?
Iran, Hezzbala and Russia thank you for the support.
I can tell you’re not much of a thinking person.
Answer this, idiot:
1. Deny we made ISIS / ISIL who Did kill Many thosands in Syria.
2. Russia has been in a position of killing ISIS fighters we created.
3. The missile attacks have huge potential to kill large amounts of innocent lives if they malfunction.
4. Where is the moral authority to launch an attack on a sovereign country engaged in fighting our murderous ISIS aligned islamic rebels who are tring to overthrow Asad and his fellow Christian supporters?
5. What is the moral imperative that drives us to engage in a war crime against a sovereign country, and further provoke Russia?
Do you want WW3?
This really should be classified at least Confidential for another year - sources and methods are not supposed to be revealed openly so soon after an operation ....
“What is the moral imperative that drives us to engage in a war crime against a sovereign country,”
OK, you are a loon.
That is not an argument or rational reply to the moral imperative deliberation question required by US Congress before deciding on engaging the USA in an Act of War.
But you already knew that, right?

I was on a submarine group site earlier today. They are NOT happy about the boat being named.
2. Russia has avoided killing ISIS as much as possible, and has instead been assisting Assad to kill his own people, leaving the heavy fighting against ISIS to the US, the Kurds and Iraqis.
3. Well, yeah-- if they malfunction. But they usually don't.
4. As I said, neither Russia nor Syria has done much fighting against ISIS. The Syrian Christians are between a rock and a hard place, and have chosen to ally themselves with Assad's Alawites and the Shia against the Sunni majority. Sucks to be them.
4. Drop the histrionic "war crime" horse hockey-- you sound exactly like the hate-America left when you engage in that nonsense.
It's in our strategic interest to keep the Iranians and Hezbollah out, the Russians down and ourselves in the game at minimum cost.
