Russia Today introduction: Washington says that the strikes are being carried out so that oil facilities remain largely intact and can possibly be used again in the future. However, the missiles and weaponry used in the operation has prompted concerns that this will be unlikely.


Last week Thursday, Hawaii Senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono, both Democrats, voted with the majority (78-22) to arm Syrian "rebels." The day before, Congresswomen Colleen Hanabusa (D-District 1) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-District 2) voted with the minority (273-156) against the measure to arm the "rebels." President Obama was the one behind the measure in the first place.
