Fox is reporting all missiles hit the target
except one that fell to the ocean on takeoff
do to a fuel problem.

59 missiles, at a single air base, during a time of low activity on the base.

Did he want to do as little real damage as possible?

I believe the strike was designed to degrade the functionality of the base not to inflict maximum casualties.

The word I used was degrade not destroy. Reports are 20 jets, fuel facilities, and repair facilities destroyed. I haven't read anything that said the runway was a target. I am not sure if the missiles used have the capacity to make much of a hole in the ground.

Spicer also referred to concentration camps as "Holocaust centers" (???!?!)

He's supposed to be the mouthpiece for Trump. So, might be a Trump refection.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I think it's more like he stepped on Goodwin's Law with both left feet.

This is an occasion when technicalities fail spectacularly. The Wehrmacht did not use gas shells in the battlefields of Europe, even against the Russians, and even when they were in full-blown retreat.

But then who'd make Trump's lies seem mild by comparison?
