16. The Serbs made a crapload of decoys.

Back then I doubt that targeting cameras were nearly as good as they are now. Even the high quality video that they release under FOIA is apparently reduced in quality by several orders of magnitude as to not give away capability.

I somewhat trust the news that will be announced for one reason: private satellite companies will undeniably take pictures of the supposed destruction zones, and if it doesn't match up with what the US says, there will be questions asked. Expect decent quality pictures of factories before and after in the morning, detailed launch numbers, detailed confirmed explosion numbers, whole nine yards.

It would not surprise me if if it turns out that the Syrians shot down one or two of the missiles.
