[Jerusalem Post] Despite statements from both US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry that a US-led strike on Syria would be a „limited and tailored“ military attack, ABC News reported on Thursday that the strike planned by Obama’s national security team is „significantly larger“ than most have anticipated.
This campaign potentially includes an aerial bombardment of missiles and long range bombs from US-based B-2 stealth bombers that carry satellite-guided bombs, B-52 bombers, that can carry air-launched cruise missiles and Qatar-based B-1s that carry long-range, air-to-surface missiles, both ABC News and The New York Times reported.
„This military strike will do more damage to [Syrian President Bashar] Assad’s forces in 48 hours than the Syrian rebels have done in two years,“ a national security official told ABC News.
