From DHS
I'm not saying he isn't getting the wall started ASAP but it is actually false that he cannot move money to whatever he wants.
The exception being he might be able to pull something off with Mnuchin to use defense spending on the wall.
Even if they give it to him on Monday it will not be in effect for the current omnibus. But this spending bill expires in Sept so it's not like this bill will last forever.
We are pulling out of Syria "quickly" says POTUS. He just froze $200m that Tillerson had dedicated to "rebuilding" Syria. There was some worry about where that money would actually go.
We are about to bust up the Iran Deal which may lead to awkwardness between us and the EU because they are doing everything they can to try to get us to keep the deal.
People in Iran are calling for a regime change and being locked up for even going out without a head scarf on.
SA just bought a bunch of American weapons as part of some deal to help secure the ME.
Taking care of Iran will help stop the flow of funds to terror cells all over the ME, Syria included.
Then we go to work in Israel, I guess.
Ah yes, I forget that X factor of being in a national emergency. He just extended that national emergency to "beyond April 1, 2018" too.
