When President Trump made the decision to retaliate against Bashar Assad’s chemical attack on the people of Syria, he was already shaken by photos Intelligence Advisors had shown him of children dying. The intelligence President Trump was given was far more graphic than those the public had seen, so the president did not need a lot of convincing.
“What happened in Syria is truly one of the egregious crimes, and it shouldn’t have happened,” he told reporters when he poked his head into the press cabin. “And it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.”
Two hours later at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., Mr. Trump gave the order to unleash 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Al Shayrat airfield in western Syria, where the chemical weapons attack originated. Syrian refugees and survivors of the attacks have thanked him, and they said they do not want to leave their Country. President Trump also said he did not have intentions of making the situation worse for the Syrian people.

He should know better than to trust the agencies and personnel which are maligning him.
Prayers up for wisdom and discernment for President Trump.
Audit the Fed.
Oops — wrong thread.
The first question President Trump should aks his intelligence advisors is, “How did you obtain these pictures?”
Trump is and should be smarter than that. I recall Trump refused to be briefed daily by intelligence because he thought it’s a brainwash. I hope Trump won’t become another fainted heart politician like Obama and GW Bush, with children in their mouths and tears in their eyes.i would rather it be a part of his 3D chess playing, aimed at North Korea for example
Nonsense.
He has discernment with internal US affairs, with financial affairs.
But not with military affairs, apparently.
The biggest problem with Syria is that somebody wins or everybody loses. War is bad. People die. People immigrate as their homes are bombed. So just the war going on, no matter who is winning and who is losing, is a very bad thing. But then you have the problem that there are no good winners. All the top armies are bad. They are Assad, or they are ISIS or they are Iranian backed or Russian backed. They are not Switzerland backed. We don’t have a dog in this fight who could actually hold power. So we have to play for the long game. We have to put up with a winner who can actually hold the peace even if they are not to our liking. And its better that we let that happen sooner rather than later. War is not a state that we should be trying to preserve.
Agitprop.
Here’s the meat of this story:
there are reports coming out now, one by independent journalist, Mike Cernovich, current National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster is manipulating intelligence reports given to President Trump regarding Syria. Not only that he is working with David Petraeus to put troops on the ground in Syria.
McMaster is plotting how to sell a ground war in Syria to Trump with the help of former CIA director and convicted criminal David Petraeus. As NSA, McMaster’s job is to synthesize intelligence reports from all other agencies. President Trump is being given an innacurate picture of the situation in Syria.
The McMaster-Petraeus plan calls for 150,000 American ground troops in Syria. Special Operations veteran, General Joseph Votel has raised serious concerns about McMaster’s plans for Syria. It is rumored that McMaster may be sharing classified information with Petraeus, whose security clearance was revoked.
I have no idea if it is true.
Making military decisions based on a few dubious photos would make Trump no different from Ivanka
Yes these agencies are crooked.
No, that does not mean Trump has the absurd latitude to treat every piece of intel he gets like it’s all lies and part of some grand conspiracy to “trick him” like bloggers can casually charge without any consequence if they are wrong.
It isnt like they handed him some photos taken with an iPhone by someones third cousin, sent through Gmail, with bad Photoshop artifacts.
“Making military decisions based on a few dubious photos would make Trump no different from Ivanka”
Only people that hug conspiracy sites, and read too many Tom Clancy novels, think that’s how this stuff works.
+1
President Trump Being Fed Tainted Globalist Intelligence By Those Advising Him.
Hence, the prayers.
Well I didn’t run for POTUS, and I didn’t see any of your names on the ballot, nor did I see any of your names as a candidate running, just as you did not see my name there...so I am going to trust the man I supported and voted for and am supporting now...who by the way has 5 Generals running a lot of his administration...
We have one of the best Military in the World, hand in glove now with Israel, so I will lay my cards at the feet of our President and not at your feet as I didn’t see your names to vote for...
GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP.GO!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
