just damage some of the, uh, nearby... stuff.


in truth, it does appear that they deliberately avoided the airstrip.

the obvious inference is that they wanted to do "something" that would clearly amount to a slap on the wrist, militarily speaking, not to deal assad a real set-back.

in other words, accomplish nothing except piss off a whole new class of anti-american terrorists in exchange for a temporary bump in the polls for donnie.

Trump would have done more damage if he had run it like one of his own businesses

We are dealing with Reality TV Idiots and they thing the Guy's and Gal's at animation studios do this stuff for real.

Narrative Change my friends. Deflect deflect.

Obama starved MIC for eight years - men and women have to make money

One can assume the were no planes or vital personnel (or Russians) there at the time. A total farce.

I'm almost surprised Trump didn't target an empty part of the desert and say he blew up a "secret" base

We told them in advance it was coming.

i.e. "we're doing this to show our Republicans here in the USA how tough we are. Don't take any of this seriously. We're not out to hurt anyone or cause damage that will be inconvenient to your operations."

Think of it like this: your favorite gas station has all it's gas pumps ripped out, the shelves are bare, and the donuts are gone. You can still pull in, park in the lot, walk in and out the doors, and drive off again, but that's about it.

Would anyone say that gas station is still in business?

incompetent and duplicitous.

republican Comrade Casino is only tied with republican Dickie Cheney with Five Fabulous Draft-Dodging-Deferments each, but Casino Boy edges out Cheney for the title of repube SneerMaster.

I read that Eric Trump said the reason for the strike was Ivanka being upset after seeing the pictures. Don, being a good dad, gives his little girl whatever she wants. I hope she doesn't request giant firecrackers on the Korean peninsula.

They would have aimed for the middle. This was all clearly just for show.

thing was all for show.

...it was about trying to increase tRump*s ratings and give him the woosh! woosh! bang! bang! his infantile ego desired....

"Excuse me, but does this missile make my ass look Presidential?"

...missiles, White House, fawning lackeys, nor accomplices in Congress. NOTHING!
