I look for Syria to move busloads of women and children to all military installations.

How about a daytime photo? They struck a hillside that reportedly can be seen prominently throughout the capital city. It’s quite a psychological attack to the extent that those scorched black acres of hillside can be seen for miles and will remain scared for months and months.

From the article:
"The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army," Syrian television said, referring to recent offensives by the forces of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, against the armed opposition.

Don't think so. Other reasons come to mind. Primary reason Iran and weapons movements. Secondary reason will leave blank, at this time, except to say ... Israel is not stupid like obama and many in our congress.

I think they hit the targets.

The video with the tremendous flash, there is roughly a nine second delay for the “boom”, that puts the camera roughly 1.8 miles from the blast. Many people were likely closer. The camera appears to be zoomed, but none the less the blast fills the frame at 1.8 miles...that’s some show on a Saturday night.

Looks like Israel is getting prepared for a turkey shoot.

Is it possible that Obama wants Israel to use up its missile/bomb inventory? And not replenish it?

This was probably made by the Syrian rebels, judging by their reaction. The strike was apparently about 2.3 miles away.

I just counted “Mississippi’s”...with a stop watch or better yet a simple video editing program you might get the distance down to a matter of feet.
