Golf Course war room?

The war room is at the golf course? Question Steve Bannon taken off National Security Council and Jared Kushner is being questioned for Russia ties and they are both there? The attack was almost 100,000,000 dollars and hit nothing important. Did not take out the runways or destroy aircraft. Trump called Putin before anyone else. Sounds like a staged event to make us think that trump is not in putin's back pocket. This moran needs to be impeached.

2. Syria Airstrikes Instantly Added Nearly $5 Billion to Missile-Makers Stock Value

The Tomahawk missile used in the strike is made by Raytheon (RTN, +1.47%), whose stock opened 2.5% higher Friday, adding more than $1 billion to the defense contractor's market capitalization.
The shares of other missile and weapons manufacturers, including Boeing (BA, +0.83%), Lockheed Martin (LMT, +1.17%), Northrop Grumman (NOC, +0.90%) and General Dynamics (GD, +0.93%), each rose as much as 1%, collectively gaining nearly $5 billion in market value as soon as they began trading, even as the broader market fell.

They still are stupid enough to think it will jump start our economy but instead it give China an economic boom and all we get is stuck with the bill to pay. Funny, isnt Trump supposed to be talking to Xi.

Still shouldn't this be done in Washington DC , in a secure location. Why there? Wire tapped to Putin? He needs to pay for all security for that out of his own pocket.

Defense officials said that at least 20 aircraft were destroyed on the ground at the Shayrat airbase north of Damascus and heavy damage was inflicted on bunkers, fuel and munitions storage facilities and air defense radars by the BQM-109 Tomahawks carrying 1,000-pound conventional warheads.
The airfield’s two runways mostly escaped damage but Tillerson and defense officials said that the runways were not targeted since they could easily be repaired.

20 aircraft alone is pretty good - not sure what types, but they ain't cheap.

I agree with the person who posted on that site. 20 air craft where's the wreakage. Only 18% of targets hit? Did not hit the runways that should have been done and would not have been easily repaired. The syrians used the base in a few hours for an airstrike. Trump called them in enough time to make sure they and the russians would not be damaged.
