Distraction from the ever growing shit-show that is the Trump admin and nothing distracts better than war.
Remember, one of the main reasons Clinton was unelectable from the Trumpers was that she was going to attack Syria and start a war and Trump was all about leaving Syrian business to Syria :0
Unfortunately, Trump supporters didn't really pick up on the obvious fact that he is utterly inconsistent in every way. I'd say they do now, but even that is probably too generous, lol.
If you it's particularly quiet tonight, and you listen very closely, you just might be able to hear John Bolton moaning in ecstasy off in the distance.
This is tragic. Luckily I doubt there'd be too much damage since President Dumbass already told everyone this would happen so they were likely prepared for this.
What's troubling is that as I understand it this happened hours before inspectors would have arrived to investigate the site of the chemical attack. I'm not confident that we'll get the real story of what happened there any time soon now.
That's kind of a catch 22 for congress, isn't it? A sitting president could essentially force their hand by attacking another country until they declare war on us, and then whattya gonna do?

Well what do you know, apparently Presidents technically haven't had the power to authorize military action sans war since 1973.
This is interesting, because back in school, they taught us differently, and claimed a president can do what they want for 90 days.
About when Clinton was in office, in fact.
Funny, that.
But I guess a toothless law is like no law at all, so as it stands a president can do what they want for 90 days.

Personally I still think it's awfully convenient that Assad would choose to gas his own people right after Trump says he wants to pull out, in such a way as to almost guarantee he'll be pressured into renewing conflict by the generals who never want to leave. It's just plain idiotic. Afaik it still hasn't been confirmed at all who carried the attack out.
I'm not saying that the US military orchestrated it, but it really is too damn perfect.
