Consider the source.  And why didnt Trump or one of his spox say that they had proof....

Indicated they would be providing images.

Your ? - How many times have I complained about Trump's comm skills?

My guess Russia is not going to back Assad real soon.

Hard to say.  It's all about Russia's interests, which are served by being allied to the Syrian government.

The Syrian government may or may not be synonymous with Assad personally.  If the two can be separated, then I could see Russia offering "asylum" to Assad in exchange for some other, Russian-backed government.

What I can't see, is Russia abandoning the Syrian military to its fate -- that serves nobody's purpose, even if the Syrian military is ultimately responsible for this attack.  So Assad has to go, rather like the manager of a baseball team gets fired when his team sucks.

Careful. Remember Powell standing in the U.N. delivering proof?

People believe what they want to believe regardless of the proof or truth.

Al Sadr.  Not re-litigating that.

Putin got a heads up, he might have informed Assad to move his people too

THat wouldnt necessarily matter.  I don't think the goal here was to hit people....  I think it was to send a message and render the air base unusable

Sounds like the Pentagon's going to release the smoking gun on Syria and that they did warn the Russians ahead of time. This may not be as bad as it first sounded.

I seem to recall when Collin Powell had the "smoking gun" on Saddam.

Trump just punched Russia's close buddy Assad in the face, right in front of them.

Worth keeping this in mind going forward

 Also point not being made -- Trump did this with Xi at dinner. Think he's also not sending a message re: North Korea as well.

Supposedly the video will be released tonight.  And I still think Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction.... in fact Syria may have used a few of them on Tuesday.  We will see

They will give Assad an offer he can't refuse..

Trump is using the element of surprise well.

Just a reminder how fracked up the whole situation is, ISIS's intent is to overthrow Assad. There is no winning side.

"Warning" could mean a lot of things, and I'd guess that the timing of the warning would have been close enough to strikes so that no effective evacuations were possible.

Radar track and infra red images of bombs dropping in is bit different from jaw jacking.
