He not only telegraphed the attack with 3 days notice, he went on TV right before the attack to announce it. Does anyone think the facilities were not bugged out?
This is a biggest failure since he ordered the $80 Million missile attack of a Syrian Air Base last year, that he also gave the Russians noticed in advance. That base was back up and running within 48 hours.

(82,849 posts)All the advance notice he provided meant that anything being bombed was just making the rubble bounce. Targets of value had long since been moved out of the way. Again.
But watch everyone on Fox, and more than a few on CNN and other outlets, swoon over Trump's manly manliness of manly manhood.

I said to hub, same thing as last time. Syria and the 'rest' had a heads up and it's mostly for show. They put some potholes in that airstrip last time and it was for naught. Except for the $$$.

(7,421 posts)It was timed to happen right as the missiles met targets. The attack was well underway at that point. That's not unusual to employ similar timing, although the statements are often made shortly after the initial wave of explosions.
You're correct in that the telegraph was earlier this week when he even gave a nod as to what kind of weapons would be employed.

(3,335 posts)as you said they failed to do much damage to the air base. This time around he was making announcements about the strike to come and the military didn't know what he was talking about. Is being STUPID an impeachable offense? I mean really, really stupid. If not, it should be.
