See, that's logical. That's military. Eliminate the danger so it can never be used again. The Syrian airbase attack feels political. The threat of more chemical attacks still remains.
I have no doubt some of it was political. Most military objectives and wars are tied to politics. I'm just saying that I'm confident that our military intelligence got what mattered at this specific time.
Oh, I'm sorry.... How about "information or intelligence which is used by the military to formulate a military response"?
I get the feeling that this is the beginning of something bigger. The weeks that follow will easily be Trump's biggest test so far.
With 6 years in the Marine Corps, I saw too many fellow Marines die due to faulty information or so called military intelligence. Have you ever heard of a trap or ambush??? Putin is setting a trap. Putin and Assad planned these chemical attacks knowing Trump would respond. Now Putin can unlock his air defense systems making it much more dangerous for Trump to respond a second time. They care little for how much damage Trump's bombing did. Only that Assad can now use the most advanced air defense systems against us.
Nothing to see here. Move along. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/04/asia/north-korea-projectile/ "Before the end of President Trump's current term, the North Koreans will probably be able to reach Seattle with an indigenously produced nuclear weapon aboard an indigenously produced intercontinental ballistic missile," Michael Hayden, who served as the director of the CIA between 2006 to 2009, said Tuesday while speaking at Johns Hopkins University.
Thank you for your service. But about that air defense system.....what makes you think it's so great? They have an aircraft carrier that breaks down, aircraft left over from the Cold War, and a populace with barely-functioning vehicles. Not to mention old and crumbling infrastructure. Yet....they have an air defense system that can embarrass a 1st World Superpower like America? With respect...I'm not sure I believe that.

Really? Putin just pulled the strings and made Trump dance. Trump sure as hell ain't making Putin dance.
If Trump were his puppet: 1) Putin wouldn't be upset about this 2) We wouldn't have taken any action at all or condemned Assad's action 3) Learn the game, then post.
