Trump was under huge pressure from all sides and reacted rather than planned for that short time. I knew it was not a chemical attack from the beginning. On March 30th, the White House announces that removing assad from power is no longer a priority. This is after 3 1/2 years of hell trying to remove him from office after the attack he did not commit in Sept 2013? No, Assad is not that stupid. Not only that, what could possibly be gained from attacking a small remote village? I was upset when Trump launched the cruise missiles because he was either fooled into it or pushed into it by the neocons. That was my first moment of thinking that Trump had lost control of some of the government or never had it. [/quote]

Trump chose to ignore reports compiled by American intelligence and the military that contradicted the prevailing media narrative accusing Damascus of using sarin gas to kill civilians, the report says. Instead, he ordered his military to prepare options for a response, which they did.

The US mainstream media failed to question the government’s narrative of the situation, instead giving Trump what appears to be the pinnacle achievement of his presidency so far.
“None of this makes any sense,” one US officer told colleagues upon learning of the White House decision to retaliate against Syria. “We KNOW that there was no chemical attack... the Russians are furious.
