So boy wonder forgot to disclose all his meetings with Russians when applying for a security clearance. What's up with this administration and their Russian specific amnesia? :hmm:
Handlers actually instruct their agents to not disclose their meetings to others.  One of the easiest ways to get burned is to disclose to authorities that you just met up with a foreign spy to discuss business.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Guys russians are a dime a dozen in NY and DC. Just walk outside and Russians drop like rain. Wouldn't you forget too?

In any case, the risk of escalation and spiralling out of control may have been pretty small since perhaps even the Syrians knew the attack was coming:

QuoteSyrian military officials appeared to anticipate Thursday's night raid on Syria's Shayrat airbase, evacuating personnel and moving equipment ahead of the strike, according to an eyewitness to the strike.

... maybe Putin let Trump have his little show to appear tough, while ensuring that Assad's people didn't lose too much. If it's just a runway and some structures and $80+ million of Raytheon equipment that'll need replacement, that's maybe not such a big deal for a ratings boost for Trump?

That said, it'd be good to have more than a single line from ABC News on this.

What the hell?

So...what military objectives did we just accomplish?

I'm disappointed that we are already at the firing some missiles to try and distract us from his narrative of failure.

Excellent points.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Back when I listened to right wing talk radio on a regular basis I was shocked somebody as stupid as Sean Hannity could be successful. He was so obviously mentally subpar compared to Limbaugh and O'Reilly I just didn't get it.
