Watching the CNN pundits on this, they actually make some really good points. Asking questions about what are the political and strategic implications of this attack. It's really interesting. For example Zakaria just indicated that the USA just effectively acted as ISIS's air force by attacking Assad like this.
What type of message is the USA trying to send with this, given it's just a limited attack? Trump didn't indicate much in his speech to define what the implications are. It was more of a retaliation out of outrage, which is understandable, but there are regional implications here too.
