Did you see this? The US accomplished nothing. Well, we probably created a few more thousands 'terrorists". They love it when we act like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum. Perhaps you can show me what international law allows the US and our "allies" to bomb the sht out a country at will. Why should ANY country obey the law when we don't? Does anyone really think we can beat the rest of the world into submission? Has that approach ever worked in history? Our policy in Syria is all about a pipeline to give the Euros an alternative to Russian NG and to appease Israel and the terrorist Saudis. We could care less how many Syrians die. ==== zerohedge.com But, as the WaPo reported, the pre-dawn volleys of cruise missiles launched by the United States, Britain and France "were limited to three sites linked to Syria’s chemical weapons program and triggered no retaliation." In saving face, Russia said they did little damage and that most of the cruise missiles targeting Syrian sites had been intercepted by Syrian air defenses,* including all of those that were bound for the site from which last week’s alleged chemical attack originated. Syria quickly trolled Trump, and shortly after the attack the Syria presidency tweeted a post saying “the honorable cannot be humiliated." A few hours later, the account tweeted a video of him walking nonchalantly to work through the halls of the Syrian presidential palace. The text said: "The morning of resilience." ???? ??????.. ????? ????????? ??????? ??????? pic.twitter.com/hhIZT6cOTe — Syrian Presidency (@Presidency_Sy) April 14, 2018 Meanwhile, in the capital Damascus, there was defiance and relief as residents jolted awake by explosions at around 4 a.m. realized the strikes would be limited. Syrian state television broadcast scenes of citizens taking to the streets to celebrate and demonstrate their support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, waving Syrian, Russian and Iranian flags. As WaPo Beirut bureau chief Liz Sly wrote: Damascus is shrugging off the US strikes, which turned out to be more limited than feared. People are dancing in the streets, waving Assad’s portrait & saying Trump has failed. [url=][/url] “Thank God this was less than we had feared. We were scared of a bigger assault that could be devastating, but we are happy it was limited and less powerful,” Mayda Kumejian, a Damascus resident, told the WaPo by phone. She described being jolted awake by explosions and the sound of jets roaring overhead. At a rally in Damascus today, celebrating their victory in shooting down American missiles. The Syrians I'm meeting are unbelievably friendly.. I talked to a soldier at the rally and when I said I was American, he beamed and said "welcome! We still love you" pic.twitter.com/czqXkuUxNv — Pearson Sharp (@PearsonSharp) April 14, 2018
