Speaking of cost, this is how much to pay for those missiles = http://www.marketwatch.com/story/th...eplace-the-tomahawks-used-in-syria-2017-04-07
Raytheon, the company that makes the Tomahawk missiles used in the air strikes on Syria by the United States, is rising in early stock trading Friday:
:
Raytheon (RTN) wasn't the only defense stock rising Friday either. Lockheed Martin (LMT), which partners with Raytheon on the Javelin missile launcher system and also makes Hellfire missiles, gained nearly 1%.
So Raytheon is set to make a tidy little profit. Their stock is getting a nice spike from this little bit of blood-letting....
I can't make up mind whether it is Saudi Arabia or our own defense contractors that are wagging this dog. I suspect of bit of both.
What blood? No casualties because Assad was given warning and enough time to evacuate men and equipment so the bombing would be nothing but a fireworks show... one that left the airbase fully operational I might add...
This was nothing more than a 50+ million fireworks show meant to deflect from the Russian scandal.
With the trickle-down multiplier, this will create approximately 200,000 jobs for middle America. Trump scores with his economic policies!Speaking of cost, this is how much to pay for those missiles = http://www.marketwatch.com/story/th...eplace-the-tomahawks-used-in-syria-2017-04-07

Fact: Putin and Assad were warned.
Fact: Assad moved men and equipment prior to the attack.
Fact: Minimal damage at the airbase.
Fact: No human casualties
Fact: Airbase still fully operational.
So no. It's not a reach to suggest this is theater.
Someone was going on about false equivalency here earlier. I believe you're doing it.
First- Words. I didn't make equivalencies because there are none.
Second- I know all the above and there's nothing hidden in them. There was no intent to kill people. You went full conspiracy when none is needed. At this point there's as much evidence for this being a Putin setup as Bush conspiring to bring down the WTC.
You missed the obvious. Assad used gas and he was not told about a red line, minimal action was displayed to know more serious action can follow.
Now if Trump does start pounding other targets and killing Syrian soldiers and destroying significant infrastructure are you going to say "oh I guess he was serious" or complain because Trump is doing what you said he didn't before? I'm going with the latter.
If Trump screws up I'll be all over him but so far I like his action better than your desire to kill Syrians and Russians. That would be stupid for a first action.
Fully conspiracy is not making a suggestion.
If Trump actually does start pounding Assad's troops, I'll eat crow.
As it stands now, this:
As it stands right now that's unfounded but deeply desired conspiracy on your part. A cartoon makes it real? You have to have (well in the real world) evidence. I would have handled this as Mattis did. Am I now a Russian internet plant? You provide evidence of conspiracy then we'll look at it again, but you are in birther territory.
No desire needed. It's the only explanation that fits all the facts.
Since when do we give forewarning of an attack?
I'm making no claims of fact. I am merely speculating, Meanwhile, virtually everything that comes out of Trump is pure Bullshit so is automatic disbelief of this really birther territory?
Context. It matters.
No, it is not the only explanation. It's already been discussed and it is not about damage. At all.
That would be a matter of speculative opinion.
And yes. War and retaliation ARE all about Damage.
Okey doke then. I'll let you go back to conspiracies.
So tell me, is the Trump/Russia collusion charges and investigations "conspiracies" too?

This is the base that is believed to have been used for the chemical weapons attack.
It's about to get interesting boys and girls.
So...
When taken in context, further collusion as it pertains to Putin and his interests with Assad are absurd conspiracies? Above suspicion?
Are you serious right now?
Staged by collusion between Putin and Trump to distract attention from former collusion of Putin and Trump? Cm'on this must have come up in some one's mind by now.
In other news, an attack took off from *that* air base this morning, on the same target city.Hopefully shit head Al Asad will get the point and Russia will urge him never to use these weapons again otherwise he loses all his air bases.
I said this before. We should have bombed his airbases long ago. And now with Ruissa over there this is one big mess.
Yes the birther equivalents are out.
But not implausible, convenient timing to bolster a Strong Man Trump Presidency but don't look behind the curtain to see the puppet strings.Yes the birther equivalents are out.
So suggesting ongoing collusion (that fits the facts quite well, actually) while a valid investigation of ongoing collusion with the very same people is akin to the completely unfounded birtherism?
Are you listening to yourself?
No, it is not the only explanation. It's already been discussed and it is not about damage. At all.
