A critic of President Trump's decision to bomb Syria says Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, offered no new information during a classified Tuesday briefing for lawmakers.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said "I hate to say this," but that "it felt to me that this briefing was perfunctory and that they were basically just engaged in rope-a-dope."
Ahead of weekend airstrikes on three facilities in Syria, Massie said Trump lacked the legal authority to attack Syria's government and offered no proof that Syrian President Bashar Assad killed about 40 people with an alleged April 7 chemical gas attack.

Will they impeach Trump for attacking Syria ? LOL
I hate to say this, but the term rope a dope is false, since poor Ali took a number of terrible beatings while he had his back against the ropes.
Robert Fisk from the Independent is on the ground in Douma reporting a doctor and locals tell him no gas attack. OAN has a reporter there saying the same thing.
“Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky”
Just how many crap weasel “Republicans” are you folks from KY going to send to Washington? Your state’s abbreviation “KY” makes me think that you think the country needs to be kept “lubed up” and you’re supplying the “human lubricant!”
First it’s McConnell, now Massie, WTF?
Well, let’s examine this.
I read that they think Assad’s forces used artillery on the town and then dropped a drum of chlorine from a helicopter.
Is that a precision weapon? Pushing a drum out the door of a helicopter?
And you are introducing 55 gallons of chlorine into the atmosphere.
Does it all go in one direction or does it spread out?
Does it carry on the wind?
Which way was the wind blowing?
What happens to chlorine after it’s released into the atmosphere?
Is it broken down by sun and time?
How many parts per million would 55 gallons of chlorine put into the air?
What are the physical effects of chlorine?
How does it affect the human body?
I know that Assad is a filthy killer. I don’t put anything past him.
I just really examine every story that comes out of the Middle East.
There are too many parties trying to shape the news.
If Assad is the only dictator Syria can produce to keep the throat cutters from taking the country over, then I do not favor fighting against Assad.
Another retarded narcissist who should never be in the House Intel Committee. Conspiracy theorists should get mental help.
Massie (and Rand Paul) are right about Syria though.
Head-chopping Jaish al Islam said it happened. Who are we to question them?
About two dozen medical personnel in the hospital say there was no chemical usage. There was suffocation from collapsed buildings.
I know. Americans need to learn to shut up and do as their Saudi masters tell them like John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
This a curious story available from many pay sites but also available at this non-pay site.
Area of koranimals and their sympathizers' Lies
The koranimal propaganda machine is everywhere, and relentless... as are useful idiots.
That’s similar to what I read.
