US air strikes pound pro-Assad forces in Syria
Quote:The U.S. military launched fresh air strikes against pro-Assad forces in Syria, officials told Fox News Thursday.
The American strikes were the first against Assad positions since the Pentagon rained 57 Tomahawk missiles on the Shayrat air base near Homs. But the strikes confirmed Thursday were believed to be the first targeting Syrian personnel. According to the defense official, the coalition strikes targeted pro regime units operating in the vicinity of At-Tnaf. After a show of force to try to stop the pro regime forces was ignored, the strikes were mounted.

I read a couple of days ago the Iranians and Hezbollah were threatening the US troops and facility and pushing the Assad forces close to the base.

And the misdirection begins. His supporters will be easily distracted by this as it was proven the first time he bombed some dirt.

Do you ever actually have anything to add to a thread? Or just post the same inane comments and little swirly-guy over and over?
I'll ask this of our Vets and others in the know around here, WTF do we do over there?
This butcher Assad is being propped up by a sizable variety of people that don't have our interests in mind, at all. His opposition is widely undermanned, outgunned, or simply civilians. He's slaughtering those who haven't or can't get the hell out of there, using gas, whatever means necessary it appears.
Do we simply sit aside and let the carnage and genocide stack up?
If we set up "safe zones", do we try to offer safe passage for these people to the zones? Or just say "hey, over here, good luck!".
I've usually got some kind of thought/opinion on most subjects (within reason) but this one has me stumped.
Maybe we just let it play out and hope for the best(?).
Thoughts?

See? You miss it once again.
It's BOTH!
That you can't see that, and Putin is telling his marionette how and when to ineffectively put on the side show just proves that we need another investigation into the matter.
It's pretty clear, this is simply PUTIN to the rescue yet again. We need an independent council, desperately.

LOL. Time for a new diversion.
Step one.. Ask Putin for permission.
Step two. If Putin says 'go ahead' tell him where the attack is
Step three. Attack some empty fields
Step four. Claim that you attacked Assad.
We just lobbed some missiles at an empty hillside, most likely. If they were real people attacked there, I'll bet they weren't really Assad's forces.
Why not just lob some missiles at Assad's HQ in Damascus?

Obama limited our options. He let the Russians destroy the Democratic opposition, which was already a weak player. We should have had a safe zone like we did with the Kurds in Iraq.

Uh-oh!! That must mean they're getting real close to proving Putin paid off Trump in the Conservatory with the candlestick. It has to be that.

Oh, no doubt.
Something, whatever it was, arming the opposition, stopping Assad in his tracks before Russia and Iran gets involved, grounding Assads air power, or setting up safe zones and stemming the flow of people running out of there should have been done years ago.
But, again, the behinder in chief screwed things up by doing nothing.
I guess my question is- so what now? Things certainly haven't improved much if at all, do we continue to let this thing carry on for years?
I honestly don't know what you do here.
