Discussion: Pentagon: No Reports Of Civilian Casualties In Syria Missile Strikes

The military said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Riiiight. And anyone that trusts this Pentagon, under this maladministration, hasn’t been paying attention either. I’m pretty certain in a few weeks we’ll all find out how wrong they were, just like the attack that happened last fall in Niger. We still haven’t heard the full story on that one, nor do I suspect has the soldier’s widow. As yet, the Pentagon still hasn’t released its full report on its investigation into what happened last October in the Niger attack. They’re too busy planning King Dumbfuck’s military parade apparently.

“McKenzie said the U.S. is confident — but not 100 percent certain — that chemical agents were present at all three sites attacked.”

Sources report that a spray bottle of Windex incurred “significant punctures” and a bottle of Pine-Sol was “completely tipped over.”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I doubt there were any casualties besides the buildings. They, Russians and Syrians, had more than enough time, and maybe a warning from bone spur Bozo, to empty and vacate.

There are seldom fatalities in kabuki.

The weapons used by the Pentagon must have been perfect, with most bombs there is always a risk of collateral damage.

In any event I am glad nobody was hurt. No one should suffer because the Donald wants to win a news cycle.

Yeah and Mattis really, really wanted Congressional authorization but Trump stared “Mad-dog” down into a obedient puppy,.

On the other hand since one the traitors in the White House, already had passed the iinformation to Russia and plenty time to react , that there is no excuse to have casualties of any kind.

What if you gave a war, and nobody was killed?

As others have noted: The US government gave the Russian government notice of specific targets so there would be no Russian casualties, to avoid getting our 2000 troops annihilated in response. This let Russians avoid those sites, and let them inform the Syrian military so they could move their aircraft to safe Russian airbases. We didn’t even bother striking the actual unit that launched the chemical attacks this time. So we probably spent more just on missiles than th value of what was destroyed; didn’t eliminate most stockpiles; didn’t harm either the policy-setters nor the field implementers of policy; and sent a clear message that al-Assad can kill all the civilians he wants as long as he uses barrel bombs and artillery rather than sarin and chlorine. “Mission Accomplished”? What mission, what strategy?

No civilians reported that they had been killed in the US missile attack in Syria.
