[/quote] [b]He was a fool for buying into the narrative pushed by an unholy combination of pro-military-industrial-complex chicken hawks - many generally conservative - and Hillary-Francois-Hollande "we came, we saw, he died" liberals. My sense is the online comments of daughter Ivanka, where she was bleeding her heart about Syria's president supposedly being the big bad meanie behind the use of poison gas in Syria, were a major emotional trigger behind his decision.[/b] ` [/quote]

Trump ignored intel, launched Tomahawks in Syria based on media – Pulitzer winner Seymour Hersh [

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 subsequent Tomahawk attack on the Syrian Shayrat Air Base did less damage that the White House claimed, as was apparently intended by the military planners of the operation, Hersh said. 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. Claiming we have the real intel and know the truth... I guess it didn’t matter whether we elected Clinton or Trump.”
