Boom. Boom. Boom. Let's Go Back to...

President Barack Obama: gettin' his autumn initiation
into the Boom Boom Club! Baaaaad boy. "Can't Beat 'Em? Bomb 'Em, Boys!"

It was unclear what effect the American-led strikes would have on the larger conflict.

Adding to the broader ramifications of the Syrian war, the Israeli military said Tuesday that it had shot down a Syrian fighter jet that had “infiltrated into Israeli airspace,” the first such incident in at least a quarter of a century.

It was cute this weekend -- a little Syrian girl crying for her mother to Scott Pelle of 60 Minutes. I guess that justifies it. Sure hope we can help reunite the girl and her mother! Yeehaw.

I like to save newspapers from days like these.
Personally, I don't think much of our latest war efforts -- there's nothing elsewhere in the paper indicating the American people assess any threat, or are calling for war, and willing to sacrifice and pay for it.

Separate from the attacks on the Islamic State, the United States Central Command, or Centcom, said that American forces acting alone “took action” against “a network of seasoned Al Qaeda veterans” from the Khorasan group in Syria to disrupt “imminent attack planning against the United States and Western interests.”

It's a War of Choice, for sure.
The ladies of America are too busy coming together collectively to protest football, it seems. If you go by what you read in the papers...

Other mothers are getting the kids off to school, ready for their games and meets, and keeping the healthy meals coming as the weather chills... Some work outside the home too. I don't see much time for war support there.

The stock market is up. Nature is at her finest. September is holding her own, not ready to reveal her colors just yet...

"I find Love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the Road again..."

ADDED: Data journalists might want to consider running a box total of the cost estimates of the day's airstrikes. As the campaign continues -- and with ill-defined goals, it will go on for some time -- and as the numbers add up, a graphic journalist could draw pictures of what the money could be used for here at home: immigrant assimilation, community education, road maintenance, and environmental upkeep.

I don't think the American people, if they see the actual numbers, have done an about-face on intervening into other nation's bloody civil wars. They're looking away.
