In his press conference, Mattis is again running divergent to his boss and potentially with the admittedly chaotic field reports
Yes, single wave with a pause but his reported scope of strikes is within the DoDs original minimalist less than 10 target plan. Bear in mind too that contacts between Russia and the US were very much the military men talking to each other.
So either there has been a compromise, with a scaling series of strikes with a pause each time to see if it elicits a positive response, the DoD has won out or they are deliberately downplaying things.
