A bit more lethal than hashtags.

cparktdJust wondering, not knowing anything about such things, about the cruse missile raid...
Wouldn't those 50 - 60 thousand pounds of explosives pretty much mean
that air base is virtually destroyed, and unusable for the foreseeable future?

I also thought we were supposed to notify the media first so they could be on the scene first to report it. CNN is NOT going to be happy with this!

jdmb03This POS has been killing his people for seven years while Obama and the UN stood around and did nothing. I don't understand how someone can launch chemical weapons against his own people. It's savage.

I have a feeling there will be plenty of individuals who find out just how badly they do NOT want to F with the 1-2 Trump/Mad Dog combo.

craigcpaIt's confusing to me watching the MSM pansies all running around wanting to hold the President's balls. Like they've never had a leader have some.
THIS is what happens when you cross a "red line."
And on top of that, Mr. President invoked "God" in his defense. The pansies must really be rolling.

Likey crater the runways. If the aircraft are dispersed and/or in shelters then more missles would be used.
Thinking a massive response would get everybody's attention.
Note: restart the tomahawk production line.

chongosuerteI'm OK with the Ruskies getting a warning.
A warning that next time, after such asshattery, there won't be a warning, and their asses will get burnt, too.
They got their freebie.
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

http://www.startribune.com/tru...al-attack/418545133/Before the strikes, U.S. military officials said they informed their Russian counterparts of the impending attack. The goal was to avoid any accident involving Russian forces.
Nevertheless, Russia's Deputy U.N. ambassador Vladimir Safronkov warned that any negative consequences from the strikes would be on the "shoulders of those who initiated such a doubtful and tragic enterprise."
The U.S. also notified its partner countries in the region prior to launching the strikes.

Russians have been warned. Therefore, if they are not out of the way, they are in the way.
Glad to see a set of balls swinging in the White House again.

Sums it up well, I think. Whatever happens, at least we have a President with a sincere love for country making the decisions nowadays, too. That and nads go a long way.

Tweets and hashtags were usually the last resort. That's when you knew things were getting serious.
