Syria!

Word this morning, for me anyway, that we bombed the Shayrat airfield in the Homs district in Syria. Via Breitbart:
At 8:40 p.m. EDT, the U.S. launched 59 Tomahawk land attack missiles at the Shayrat Airfield located in the Homs Governorate in Western Syria, according to Pentagon officials. The strike lasted minutes.
Here's a screen camp from Google Earth, dated 2014:


One can see aircraft revetments at each point of the airbase...

A sand berm and vehicle emplacements against ground attack:
This facility at the eastern end of the base seems important:

For reference here's a video of what a Tomohawk Missile can do:





We are looking forward to seeing some photos of the results.
