involved last night has already returned to port and is resupplying with the tomahawks because they shot, as we mentioned, 60 out of the 78 the two were carrying. they are already resupplying, back in position in the eastern mediterranean as though the u.s. military is retreating. how long will it take them to reposition another they are going back to resupplying? not long. i m not going to give away where they resupply but it s close. jennifer, what happens if assad uses very much ordinary ordinance to attack, let s say, hospitals, schools, escalate his attack in response to the u.s. christmas attack. i think that s a great question, and i don t think we have a clear vision, from all accounts, assad has not given up. we have heard there are reports
lost in in the shuffle of whatt on last night, on the other hand, even though i disagree with attacking syria with military force, he acted, as dana points out, very decisively. more importantly for me is he did it with chinese president xi right next to him, finishing dinner, goes ahead and calls for the launch. whether or not they launch, the attack with the 59 tomahawk cited syria are going to have an effect on bashar al-assad, maybe it won t have any effect. the effect that it did have, it told not only kim jong-un, that saber rattling going on there, but also, that chinese president realizes who he is dealing with now. he is dealing with a man who is willing to strike another sovereign country while he is just finishing up a dinner with the other superpower. there is no question that donald trump i disagree with the attack on syria, but definitive, decisive, and got
schiff, i m kimberly guilfoyle, and we have brand-new developments in reaction tonight to president trump s decisive response to tuesday s heinous chemical attacks in syria. with classmates strike on a syrian air last night strike, the rest of t tolerate the use of weapons of mass destruction. russia condemned our military action and now has one of its four trips steaming toward our two distress that launch the missiles. more on that any moment. president trump hasn t said more about the strike today, he is continuing his talks with china s president xi jinping about north korea s arsenal. let s bring in our chief congressional correspondent john roberts who is live in palm beach florida. john? good afternoon to you. the big question and all of this is what come comes next. first of all, will bashar al-assad come to heal, and what is this going to do about u.s.-russian relations.
assad, sb 6 points out, was in damascus, and at the airport, and he still has the capability to do it. again, i asked jennifer griffin yesterday, what is the administration s purpose or the military s purpose here? is it to kill assad? and she specifically said, not only not kill assad but not even regime change. killing assad would be illegal. you cannot kill another world leader. even if you really want to. no one is ever going to say that. but the russians say but we did was an attack on a if not kill assad, then what? maybe first of all, don t use that gas again, number one, and we ll figure out the rest later. i don t care what russia says about, oh, the united states attacked a sovereign country. are you kidding me? ukraine and crimea? give me a break. that is the ultimate fake news. the worst of it was, they
that the strategy is more urgent we will see something more within the next couple of weeks. i agree with you and that is putting america first in my opinion. back in charge. no more leadership vacuum. let me phrase it this way. 2,920 days to diminish america s standing in the world stage, president trump got it right back to where it should be. i don t understand you guys. i really don t. i don t doubt america s power or influence, and the idea that we would get back into what you, erica might have said, could be another quagmire i think the whole benefit of this is with the rest of the world. they didn t know, nobody knew. believe me, they know. the question is, does america have the political will for this long-term effort? all the red. our prayers go out to the families and victims of this horrible atrocity with the sarin gas and that brutal dictator. before we go, we do want to wish
