Where was it "stated"? That makes no sense. 1000 lb bombs make huge craters in runways. Put up or shut up.
John, since you are obviously incapable of having an adult discussion, I'll answer for you...
http://legendsintheirowntime.com/LiTOT/Content/1943/Fl_4301_bombs_craters_p040_W.pngIn case you are still not getting it, Tomahawk missiles with 1,000 lb warheads make huge craters in runways. End of discussion. Now go join the other children in the sand box...Buh bye ballerina dancer...
The govt could save so much money if we would just hire the tactical military geniuses which inhabit this forum ...
If the goal was to blow up the air strips vs blow up 20% the aircraft, and send a message, in one strike...
well, we should just have hired these yammering attic i***ts...

Really Keenan? I also saw reports that Tomahawks are not the types of bombs that are used to crater runways, hangers and buildings were targeted, to destroy runways it would have required a differently delivery system, you know jets, the Russians after Obama failed to defend his red line moved air defense systems into Syria, what Trump did was not only appropriate, but it was smart and did not put our people at serious risk.
Why do you even bother to challenge this? Seems that your objection to what was said was more a comment on the poster than it was a serious question on the veracity of what he stated. Why do you ask for proof on everything and then come back with crap like the post above.
Here Keenan, read and educate yourself.

Not too bright, are you? You just post a bunch of grammatically bungled, random, jumbled, sentence fragments that appear to combine attempts to insult with straw man arguments...without any coherent point to make, and expect to be taken seriously?
Seems typical of you.

Funny how people can only say "it was stated..." or "I also saw..." but you can't give me a single link or quote.
I'm starting to wonder...do you even understand what it means to evidence a claim or back up your bulls**t? Like a few others here, you offer nothing of substance, nothing specific, just attempts to insult.
I have to ask, Blurrbrain, why do you even bother bulls**tting when it is obvious you have nothing credible to offer on the issue? If you don't understand that 1000 lb. bombs make huge craters in runways, then you don't know what the f#ck you are talking about, and just like farting out of your ass.
Come back when you have something to say, rather than just farting bulls**t.

Once again, you don't know what it means to evidence a claim. Throwing up a naked link and then telling me to "read and educate..." doesn't cut it. That is a cop out answer.
Provide me with a quote that specifically evidences a specific claim if you want to be taken seriously. Anything else is just farting in the wind.

Anybody with a brain that reads about cruise missiles knows you are dumber than a box of rocks, they do not do the same damage as a bomb dropped from altitude. but go ahead and keep making a fool of yourself.

Yammer on young i***t...it is at least entertaining.
Please "prove" yet another unimportant point!
Why do you use a cheesy graphic which allegedly illustrates the damage caused by "arerial bombs" when the discussion is about cruise missiles?
Don't understand the difference, much?

Actually we don't yet know if the attack was a success or not. If the goal was to take out any additional poison gas and the buildings that we hit were where the gas was stored then the attack may have been a success.
If the goal was to send a message to Assad that the red line that Obama said not to cross really does exist and there will be consequences if Assad steps over that line then the attack may have been a success.
Without knowing what the goal of the attack was there is no way to say if the attack was successful or not. Besides a cratered air strip can be quickly readied for use, and it looks like the military advisors suggested that they didn't even try to hit the air field itself. Obviously there was some reason for that decision.

Where hell you get tourinformation they did not use any Incendiary bombs that would burn off the chemicals. An not contaminate surrounding area.
Man you got some screwed up thinking

A quick google search.
Targets at Sharyat Air Base, which is one of the largest and most active among the Syrian air force, included aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, fuel storage, radars, ammunition storage and air defense systems. But no mention of runways, which should have been targeted to deny use of the facility, even temporarily.
And that issue is primarily because the Tomahawk is not the right tool for the job. It’s a tool for plenty of jobs, sure, but it’s not a tool for every job. And it’s especially not a tool for what could knock an airfield out for a long time, which is runway destruction.

My gawd you are amazingly stupid or amazingly dishonest. I even broke it down for you to the 5th grade level to make it really easy for you to understand that
the crater/damage that can be expected is directly proportional to the rating of explosive power of the bomb/warhead used.Is it because you don't have a brain worth a damn, or are you just pretending to be that stupid? 1000 lb. bombs are 1000 lb bombs., regardless of how they are delivered. Your bulls**t sophistry that the chart only applies to "arerial [sic.] bombs" and not missile warheads may deceive the dumbest members of the forum, but please don't think that you are fooling anyone of average intelligence. The blast radius is easy to estimate. It's a physics equation.
Would you like me to take you through the physics equations used in determining the blast radius and crater sizes? Go get your high school physics book, and then let me know when you are ready and I'll walk you through the math.
Let me know when you are ready...
