It is probably a false flag. Why do conservatives, who. despise the MSM and the Deep State, believe the “wag the dog” narrative they are pushing? If we are supposed to be fighting Isis, why should we attack the Assad regime, which wants to defeat Isis? This is as phony as the Bay of Tonkin used to justify the no win Vietnam War, or the WMDs used to justify the no win Iraqi War.
We did not elect Trump to get the Clinton/Kerry/Obama foreign policy, with more muscle than they had.
