.. before he took action against Assad.???????
So we let them know then that were coming?
Is reading comprehension your problem or are you intentionally misrepresenting my statement? I said:
It could have been done as he gave the order to strike. A heads up to the military and then a press conference with a few photos and radio intercepts.
I even bolded the word
as to make sure the simultaneous nature of the events would be noted. Which of course you didn't.
