Pentagon: Airstrikes do not mark change in U.S.'s Syria policy; Assad response will determine if more action needed
U.S.-led airstrikes in Syria, carried out with the help of the U.K. and France, have "significantly crippled" the chemical-weapon capabilities of President Bashar al-Assad, the Pentagon believes, according to spokesperson Dana White. But whether U.S. action stops with Friday's response depends on the Assad regime's next moves, White said Saturday. The U.S. mission in Syria remains defeating known terrorist cell ISIS, and is not a call for regime change, but the U.S. will not stand by while Assad attacks "innocent Syrian people," White said. Joint Staff Director Lieutenant General Kenneth McKenzie said that the U.S. did not specifically coordinate ahead of the strikes with Assad-ally Russia. He was replying to a question asking if Russia was warned not to fire back. Russia, and in fact, Assad, were warned ahead of time that targeted strikes on chemical facilities would ensue in response to suspected chemical-weapons use on civilians as a seven-year civil war rages in Syria.
'Mission accomplished!' President Trump declares in tweeted response to Syria strike
President Trump in an early Saturday tweet thanked his military forces, and those of his allies, after airstrikes on Syria late Friday. "A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!" the president tweeted. U.S., U.K. and French forces administered the strikes, aimed at believed chemical-weapons labs and other targets, in retaliation for a suspected Assad regime-led chemical-weapons attack last week that killed at least 43 civilians. Trump's wording invited immediate comparison to President George W. Bush's early, and as it turned out, misplaced, optimism about the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, which extended into a longer major combat operation from that point. "Mission Accomplished" was proclaimed on a banner behind Bush during an address from the USS Abraham Lincoln.
