If you want to make a statement for sake of one (not that it's a good idea in the first place), you don't let that base become operational. You stick around if you have to, and blow whomever you need to out of your way. This is the United States we're talking about; you think Assad is stupid enough to challenge, risking a direct war?
Yeah, right.
This was all staged, and they butchered innocent Syrians for the sake of a pathetic distraction.
But it's a damn fact that you can't keep an airbase from launching planes indefinitely.
Temporarily stop operations? yes.
Forever? No. Unless you take the airfield.
It's a concrete airstrip. You just repaved it, dumbo.
No one gives a crap about your shiet opinions.
What I'm saying is a fact.

Don't use force unless you use overwhelming force.
If it's not worth going to full out war over it, it's not worth getting involved.
We can't do things half ass imo.
Either go all the way or don't do anything at all.

That's a statement.
This? This is a murderous facade.
Business as usual after 24 hours? LOL
It's the equivalent of TP-ing someone's car on Halloween night! XD
Yeah, that'll stop them!
Not like they've already started butchering civilians again from that very base since those 24 hours or anything.Last edited by TheLennox; 04-09-2017, 02:07 PM.

Pgw1 they set a goal and deployed the necessary troops to accomplish it.
They booted saddam out and had more than enough troops needed to do it.
I wasn't against the Iraq invasion 2003. Saddam was a headache and he needed to go.
My problem was they didn't have a worthwhile plan for it.
They brought enough troops to topple him and not enough to occupy.
If we deployed overwhelming force, enforced the peace, rearmed and deployed the Iraqi army, used iraqi secret services......
We would have had an easier time of it.
Instead we deployed as little troops as possible.

That means airborne, Rangers assault. Is that what you want? That's the only way to do it.
You can bomb hangars, fuel depots, planes.
But cratering a runway is a temporary thing.
All you need is a bulldozer, cement trucks, etc. And you can use the runways again.
Especially with Russian aircraft.
Russian aircraft unlike the west are designed to fly off dirty, damaged, crappy runways.
That's why Russian runways look like crap while west runways have to be pristine.

But that didn't happen, did it?

But they got the opportunity to do that when Son Bush came in. It seemed to be a beef that carried over from the father's time to the son's time. It was expected though because some of the same staff that worked with the dad worked with the son.
