And that's why I would really like to know, what happened behind the scene?
Who/what specific group of people/advisers persuaded Trump to follow the path he didn't intend to follow initially?

Wow.. Wolf is asking Panneta right now, "Is there anything else the Trump admin should apologize for?"

Gimme a break. I don't remember OBummer and his lying cabinet ever apologizing for anything.

"you get to keep your healthcare plan, Don't worry about it"

These clowns are so BUTTHURT that they lost

Case closed and told ya so!
He's trying to calm down the triggered morons is all. Part of his job.

Not on the battlefield as we were discussing before you jumped in.

I think the actions of Assad (assuming that he did poison the Syrians) was sufficient to warrant a change. I don't think that is such a stretch.

Now it seems we don't really know what the policy is today.....maybe still in the works.

Will the USA be overthrowing Assad...or just waiting for the next chemical attack?

I understand Trump doesn't want to let the world know what he is doing but unfortunately in the USA we don't operate that way.

Republicans don't want a Democratic President to have the power to enter into a full on war without some input from the representatives we elected and of course that is a visa versa thing.

Maybe Ron Ziegler.
I've been wondering if this bothers others, too...even before this latest gaffe.

He's so unintelligible. It really bothers me to listen to him.

i doubt Sean Spicer is a holocost denier, so i will assume he misspoke.

As for the battlefield argument, i could be wrong, but wasnt it Mattis who said that, and not Spicer. You can not combine their statements so that Spicers' makes sense.

So they used chemical weapons not only did they kill their own, but any officers (Military) that were against Hitler. To me that is a battlefield.

Well the Syrians children being bombed aren't on a battlefield either, so what's your point.
