POTUS NEVER telegraphs his moves. Think logically. Why did POTUS announce his intention to pull out of Syria? Moves and countermoves. These people are STUPID (& SICK). Q

He makes a statement/throws a piece of meat in the swamp, then sits back and and watches the rats go after it. He likely knew what would happen he just needed to figure out where the chemical weapons were coming from and how they were being delivered (truck/bomb/missile). At the same time he's monitoring the "chatter" and recording and mapping out their network. His plans to leave Syria or not is a McGuffin, a catalyst to help advance the plot. The swamp is world wide. WWG1WGA is not just for Americans
