Syrian 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.
Sec. of State Rex Tillerson revealed late Thursday that the U.S. warned Russia that they would be bombing the airfield in Homs, Syria since there was Russian military in the vicinity.

(41,861 posts)an attack going to happen, no one would ever know it would happen until it was far too late, because you don't let the enemy know you are going to attack? Seems to me, I recall him saying that, so what does he do? He tells the Russians who tell the Syrians. How did that work out for you?
