That's just the replacement cost of the ordinance expended. About 100 cruise missiles at $750,000 apiece. Does not count fuel costs, dollars per flying hour, pay for the troops, operating costs of all the warships used, etc. etc.
Let's hope the Syrians get the message better than they did the last time we did this.
We cannot make idle threats. Once we make a threat (draw a redline) we have to mean it, and carry out the threat. If we are not prepared to back up our threats, we should not make them. The Syrians used poison gas, and so we had to follow thru on the threats we made the last time the Syrians used poison gas.
