Midknight Review -- new and revised: U.S. LAUNCHES “SATURATION STRIKE” AGAINST SYRIAN GOVERNMENT

Matthew Cole / The Intercept: U.S. WEIGHS “SATURATION STRIKE” AGAINST SYRIAN GOVERNMENT IN RESPONSE TO CHEMICAL ATTACK

"Saturation strike" is a term used with good reason. The U.S. fired off 59 -- count 'em, "59" -- targeted missiles in a singular strike against one of Syria's six air bases, just 48 hours after that airbase participated in a hideous poison gas event. The strike took place in the dark of night and did not destroy the chemical depots containing sarian gas for obvious reasons. Instead, the strike took out the Shayrat air-base proper along with its landing strips. Five such bases remain.

The objective of this mission was to destroy the facility, not to kill Syrian military personnel.

Keep in mind that Russia signed an agreement (2013) with the U,S, to keep chemicals out of Syria. Barack hid behind this agreement, charging that Russia was given responsibility over this issue, and announcing, "in fact," that Russia had removed all such weapons. If not before tonight, certainly we now know that this was, yet, another Obama lie, one told to cover for his his own ineptitude.

The US attack was launched from the USS Porter and USS Ross. Fox News is reporting that each missile carried 1000 pounds of explosives. Our ships were in the Mediterranean, 123 miles from the airbase. The Russians were notified before the attack via diplomatic channels.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
