A bellicose President Trump wanted to kill Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad after he launched a chemical weapons attack on civilians in April 2017, according to the new White House tell-all by Bob Woodward of the Washington Post.

The commander-in-chief called Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and issued the deadly order.

Bob Woodward 's book should be listed in the Comic Books section.

Does Woodward prefer to coddle Assad and let chemical attacks go unanswered? I think Trump’s alleged response is absolutely correct.

After his FBI used him to take down Nixon, Woodward’s entire career has been writing National Enquirer gossip stories about each administration.

The Post, Woodward, and the Clowns in Action tend imho to all work together for the same goals.

This appears to be yet another attempt to take down a president.

I suggest considering the entire book to be just propaganda, and not worthy of consideration, imho.

woodward and bernsh*t where merely dem tools for the coverup of the fact that john dean, another dem tool, ordered the breakin to get pics of his whore wife if any existed in the dems safe and thats why he couldn’t write a report on the breakin for nixon...nixon did coverup for his people and of course the C_A hated nixon too for the same deep state reasons it hates Trump today.

so time for woodward to F Trump for the deep state again...and unfortunately the timing is just right to make some of the soft dems that were walking away from the dem party to think twice and go back just in time to pull off a blue wave in NOV UNFORTUNATELY I am afraid!

dems are rotten bastards and absolutely no one plays dirtier than they do...and they SALWAYS seem to get away with it...LBJ...Clintons....obama...all of govt...DOJ...CIA...FBI...just look and see!!!!!!

I’d be interested to find out what Kerry and Obama thought of Assad.

“Let’s kill the f–king lot of them ...”

That doesn’t sound like Trump. “The lot of them” sounds more like Woodward. The “gas attack” was very likely fake; Trump responded by bombing some stuff over there, just in case anyone thought he wouldn’t or couldn’t. Woodward is trying to make Trump sound loony. Fake news.

Obviously an outright Fake News lie to damage President Trump.

The American Traitor Socialist Left, Globalists, the Deep Swamp, and America's pet snakes, the Saudi group has wanted the Assads gone for a half Century, if Trump had stated this they'd have accomplished it in hours.

Not sure Woodward knows what he is talking about

Regardless, I applaud Trump.

A leader needs to consider all options on the table and if Assad actually did use WMDs against civilians, then “ killing them all” ( Assad and the rest responsible ) is a valid, and possibly even desirable, option.

Letting guys like Assad and Kim Jong Il know that you consider killing them a potential preferred solution is good policy that provides deterrence against them gassing their people in the first place

Nothing new here l, BTW

We have been living with the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction of entire countries wherein entire cities with millions of people are threatened with annihilation if their leaders use WMD against us and one of the primary Cold War missions of the B-2 bomber was to seek out and destroy Soviet leadership in their remote bunkers so those leaders could be certain that they would personally die along with the rest of the people if they started WWIII

It is no coincidence that the Axis of Evil has been a lot less evil since a new Sheriff Trump is on watch

"Who believes Woodward when he claims he wipes his a$$?

Certainly not me, if I were sitting in the same room with him...

"Hmm. It is just me and Woodward here, one of us smells like we have a full diaper, and it isn't me..."
