Why did they use Tomahawks? This is a pretty good explanation. As the article says, it was low payoff, but it was also low risk, and could be done quickly without having to coordinate with allies, as symbolism.

What the Syria attack did, and didn’t do.
This is sad. She’ll probably never learn to speak. It’s something that has to be learned at a very early age.
The cheerleaders were just getting gifts from sugar daddies. It’s ridiculous to only call it legal prostitution if cash exchanges hands. Women have been offering sexual favors in exchange for things since time immemorial, and as long as it’s consensual, it should be legal.
Here are the questions that she needs to answer under oath.
If Nunes is telling the truth—and despite a widespread effort to make him look like a liar, he’s been right so far—then this incidental collection had nothing to do with Russian collusion charges. Why has the media shown such little curiosity about the subject matter of the collection?
Yes, reporters, we know that “unmasking” is legal. So is meeting with a Russian ambassador during a campaign. And no, it does not vindicate Trump’s tweet. Stressing the legality of the unmasking is a way to distract from the real questions: Did Rice abuse her power? Who did she share it with? Why? Did those people then leak the information for political purposes? That is illegal.
That will be pretty challenging for her, given that she seems to be as big a congenital liar as Hillary Clinton.

Sorry, Democrats, the Obama-spying scandal isn’t going away.
Nope. Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. He didn’t recuse himself from this.
It’s like an apartheid state.
For those in a hurry, a cute one-minute haggadah.
The left brought it on itself by insisting on the politicization of judges. For a leftist, nothing can be outside politics, and political power takes precedence over the law. Fortunately, we may still have a chance to restore originalism, and the Constitution.

If judges want to make laws and bypass the legislature, let them be elected, not appointed for life.
Why “liberals” should be concerned about it.
They’re not concerned about it because they’re not liberals — they’re leftists who are perfectly fine with the government having a monopoly on firearms (as long as they’re in charge of the government).

Nice to see that some commenters at Glenn’s site are making similar comments to mine. Stop calling leftists liberals.
An interview with a Syrian refugee becomes a huge own goal for CNN.
You don’t help out a country (or region) by letting it fall apart, and then draining it of its best people.
Coyote is really pushing this concept. Now he’s got an op-ed at Aviation Week.
