Saw an interesting tweet:
"Trump went to war over the murder of children he wouldn't let into his country to avoid being murdered"
intersting times for sure...
That his solution to the refugee crisis, make sure there aren't any??
For all the missiles fired (@ $5M/per) all they got was a few Mig-23's which are Vietnam war types of weapons.
Here is why the Pentegram wanted that base 'removed'. What they did is turn it into what will be a fortress. Too bad the phone-line to clear US frighters from being attacked just went dead. Trump should take that as a sign to close down US involvement in the area until he get his sh*t together.

The military airfield in Ash Sha'irat, seriously damaged by the attacks of US cruise missiles April 7, was actively used by the Syrian Air Force from the very beginning of the civil war.
Head of the Center for Military Forecasting Anatoly Tsyganok believes that the US military activities in the country "play into the hands" of Daesh terrorists.
"The Syrian Air Force can use about 8-10 military airfields in Damascus-controlled territories," Tsyganok told Sputnik. "Today, one of them was destroyed, which means that the other air bases will have to do much more work. Now our pilots will also have more work, and the terrorists will definitely try to use this missile strike in their favor."
n fact, a few hours after the strike, the terrorists launched an offensive in the eastern part of Homs province, just near the airfield, an official representative of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, said.
The information was confirmed by the Arab online portal Al-Masdar. After two hours of fighting, the Syrian army managed to repulse the offensive. However, experts believe that the terrorists are likely to attempt other attacks in the near future.
