1. Obama has stated repeatedly that not going to war in Syria despite all the pressure to do so was one of his greatest accomplishments

Obama was dumb to make the "red line" statement and not back it up, but he was right to keep us mostly out of Syria.

Some housecleaning since some tweets and poo poo got deleted: NYT is backing up Buzzfeed that nobody in the military knows where the gently caress that statement came from and they're referring reporters back to the statement.

Buzzfeed cites five sources, NYT cites several.

You're trump, you know your staff has been getting media calls all week talking about poo poo you know is going to look real fuckin' bad, like Flynn and Page both flipping and implicating you for what is going to play as full-on treason. You hoped the BCRA would flood the headlines enough but it's looking to go down in flames because your party is schizophrenic (dubiously better than comatose like the Dems) and you need something to suppress everything for the rest of the week.

So, threaten Syria. There's no intelligence, no actual knowledge of a planned chem attack, it's just poo poo you know Assad's done and will do again. If there is an attack, then you get to bomb a military base after having "warned" Assad. If there's no attack, then you look like someone exerting a little of the ol' peace thru threat. Downside is, of course, the rest of the federal military apparatus saying you're full of poo poo (without actually saying "ol' pissbrain is just yelling at the TV again") and it making you look like you just tried bluffing with a valet ticket and a punch card.

My first guess is that Fox News had some idiot talking head who suggested Assad would do it again, and Donny ran with it. But twitter is usually on top of things like that, so you're probably right. :(

If there's anything, it's super close hold.

So either they're fabricating things wholesale or Trump's decided to burn more intel sources to get attention off of him and the AHCA.

The official administration statement about the wackyness is an anonymous source yelling about anonymous sources.
