A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!

pardon me?

It still has missiles loaded on that vehicle.

Syrian UN Ambassador is speaking now.

So far fairly predictable.
Claims of lies.
Claims of a tripartited aggression.
That the attacks had no backing.
That one of the sites was visited by inspectors last year.
That inspectors were on route but seems to have claimed there was some scheme to hold them up.
CNN is moved to Pence
Fox is talking to a American congresman.

On the strikes the US states that no Russian missile fired and Syrian air defence systems fired off 40 missiles after US missiles struck.
Until Syria shows US missile debris so far looks like a one sided event.

Looking at the three different target sites called out by DoD & trying to get a sense what the planning math looked like to land at 105 missiles on these.





LOL I guess the break in the ice hockey game ends soon; as I said Today at 1:31 PM this time I'm not going to go through anybody's lies

The Syrian UN Ambassador apparently has revised up the number to 100 missiles shot down. 100/103 or 105 depending upon sources.

Minister Lavrov reported today that a Suisse chemical lab - one of the few chosen to independently identify nerve agent in Skripal case - confirmed in March that the substance was a List II product (not a warefare agent) produced either in the US or UK.

Mod RF stated that French airmen did not fire missiles.

'we're confident all our missiles reached their targets' ...:
