Is is possible to have a strike targeted to Syria's fighter jets?

26. Well, that's always the issue in these affairs.

I don't like it anymore than anybody else here. But it appears that some kind of action is going to happen against Assad's forces.

Given that. I would prefer that there would be no civilian targets. I am sure that this is high on the priority. Targeting aircraft on the ground with cruise missiles certainly could accomplish such a task. They are very accurate and have been getting better since they were first deployed.

But you are correct. People will probably die. The idea is to limit those casualties to military personnel. I am sure that's an important requirement of any mission they would undertake.

I hope they don't do this. But if they do, I hope it goes off cleanly with no mishaps.

Hope for the best. No attack. Or, at worst a surgical attack and little blowback. I have little hope for the latter. But what will be is what will be.

My congress critter is a tea partier. My Senator is Carl Levin. No hope that they'll vote No. I'll call Stabenow tomorrow.
