be on your side. >> it may have been a message, cedric, you spend $100 million worth of munitions, you want to get something done. the results we're hearing 20% of the syrian air force, 20 percent of the seventh wing division. >> or 20 planes. >> or 20 planes. what seems more likely? from your time in the military, that doesn't sound right. somebody has it wrong with the numbers. >> sure. what's probably right is this, 20% of syrian air force is wrong. that's not going to happen in a strike of this type and of this magnitude and with that weapons system. what is possible is 20% of the seventh wing or 20% of what was on that air base because those two things mean the same thing basically. so if you cut out 20% of the operational aircraft on a base, that is a significant factor from an operational standpoint but it doesn't kill the base, and it doesn't kill their ability to fly from that base. so they are sending a message.
