About 60 Tomahawks from two Navy DLGs against airfield in Syria.

I know this is serious but still, I had to laugh a little.
I was watching Chris Hayes on MSNBC who was suggesting that
instead of a military response we should open the floodgates
and let 200 or 300 thousand Syrians into the USA.

As he was promoting his idea the network broke away to report
that the launching of the Tomahawks had happened.


Kinda like Iraq's "Baghdad Bob" telling the press that there were no US troops in Baghdad. Meanwhile at the same moment, the sound of Abrams tanks were rolling in the background...
