Colbert: Syrian Air Strike Was Called ‘Operation: Dessert Storm’

‘You guys remember last month when Trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian air base?’

COLBERT: "You guys remember last month when Trump ordered a missile strike on that Syrian air base? 59 missiles were shot at a Syrian air base. It was the most violent assault on a runway not ordered by United Airlines. It all — it all — friendly skies. It all went down while Trump was dining at Mar-a-Lago with the president of China enjoying what Trump described as 'The most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen,' which is why the mission's code name was 'Operation Dessert Storm.' Could be a misspelling. Could be a misspelling."
