The strike left a string of jets untouched. And Assad used the same airstrip to take off from, to go bomb the city he gassed.
Zeek is right "Trump's ineffectual missle strike...."
But who cares. Trump is great. It sure accomplished that ; missile strike effective.

That would have been extremely destabilizing without any damage to his ability to strike back. You shoot at me then you have lost any high ground for any response I make, because now my response is self defense.
We don't want to destabilize Syria, that opens the door to ISIS. What we want is for Syria to continue to be a buffer against ISIS without using chemical weapons.
