Pentagon corrects statements about air-to-surface missile, F-22 roles in Syria strike
By: Stephen Losey  


The Pentagon on Thursday corrected the record on the use of an advanced air-to-surface missile and the F-22 Raptor fighter during the April 13 strike on Syrian regime chemical weapons facilities.

Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, director of the Joint Staff, originally said during an April 14 briefing that the Air Force had launched 19 of the advanced JASSM-ER, or Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range, weapons from B-1 bombers.
