In his news conference with King Abdullah of Jordan today, President Trump said that since the chemical attack in Syria, “my attitude toward Syria and Assad has changed very much.” He boasted of his “flexibility” in the face of change. All of this suggests his willingness to destroy President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, something he has opposed until now. In other words, it will be war
He also bashed President Obama again for not solving this problem when Assad was believed to have crossed Obama’s red line with the use of chemical weapons. Trump has yet to acknowledge that in 2013 via Twitter he warned Obama not to attack Syria because it would have disastrous consequences.
At any rate, Trump seems to have boxed himself in. If he doesn’t attack, his current criticism of Obama will look ridiculous. Can he allow that?
Meanwhile, the bin Ladenites in Syria and ISIS are licking their chops.
Hey, wait a minute!
