In the space of a week Trump has gone from-Assad-can-do-what-he-wants/not-our-fight to Assad-is-worse-than-Hitler.
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?
OK but your boy Spicer is now on CNN, doing an interview with Wolf Blitzer, vigorously apologizing to the American people for his stupid remarks and is looking like a little boy in the Principal's office.
Case closed and told ya so!
He's trying to calm down the triggered morons is all. Part of his job.

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.

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.
The jews were in prison and gassed. They were not on a battlefield and killed in battle. I know it does not matter to them when they are dead. I am just saying it wasn't a weapon persay. Still a dumb thing for Spicer to say.
Well the Syrians children being bombed aren't on a battlefield either, so what's your point.
