I am just joking folks . . . . or maybe not. You decide what you want to believe.
"Trump's Confusing Strike on Syria"
If President Trump broadens his aims against Assad, he will enter the very morass that Candidate Trump warned against.
By Steve Coll, April 17, 2017 Issue
"Canadian, European, and Middle Eastern allies, as well as some sections of the Washington foreign-policy establishment, applauded Trump for his strike, pointing out its narrow scope, and noting that Assad had brought it on himself. Unfortunately, Donald Trump’s continual search for approval seems to contribute to his unpredictability. Perhaps he will soon rediscover his inclination to proceed cautiously in Middle Eastern wars. Given his bombast, his inconsistency, and his preference for gut instinct over policy knowledge, he always seemed likely to be a dangerous wartime President. The worry now is that he will also be an ambitious one."
Bottom line: Trump has eroded his credibility extensively, almost completely with his tweets. Now no one knows what to believe, and usually that means Tweety is lying.
