These three tweets unclassified preliminary data. Sheer poppycock that giant 1600 lb warheads hitting inside an occupied base were just a warning. Very professional actions by US forces to disperse and take cover. Excellent US missile defense early warning.— Barry R McCaffrey (@mccaffreyr3) January 14, 2020
