Honestly, based on Mattis' speech and Trump's words, if they are 'working behind the scenes with Russia and Assad', then this has been a major false alarm of the emergency broadcast network.
I know disinfo is necessary, but if they use those words about Assad, and he actually didn't order the gas, then this is damaging to Trump and Mattis moving forward.
I understand they can't telegraph, but this is almost beyond recovery.
Just my opinion.
Love Trump and Mattis…not sure I agree with the tactics. They know more than me, and I will continue to trust.
