another wave. this is not shock and awe over baghdad. this is more like 1998 when we launched a bag of cruise missiles at bin laden in afghanistan after the east african bombings >> admiral stavridis, stay with us for a meemoment. we're going to go back to the pentagon briefly for a second. hans nichols our correspondent there. i believe you have additional information in terms of what happened tonight. >> we're getting a little more confident on the number of tomahawk cruise missiles that were fired, about 60 and hit both aircraft and infrastructure on that air base near homs. it's the latest from here. you know, taking a step back on this, given all our reporting earlier today, this does seem like a smaller version of the variety of options that were presented to president trump. remember, the big option was actually taking out the entire air force of bashar al assad. looks like they went for the smaller one. a couple things that we need to figure out here. number one, were allies informed in number two, was congress informed?
