What is so restrained about attacking a country that was not attacking us or its neighbors — without an open examination of all the evidence before an impartial tribunal?

Extreme idiocy I imagine to make the “mere missiles” option look more measured.

Is the Pentagon crazy? Attacking Russian facilities and killing Russians would start a war. Trump must purge all Obama commissars and globalists from Government.

In a workman like manner, all options were presented.

Preparing and proposing multiple options for military actions is nothing new.

Its too bad someone leaked this, since it obviously was not the option chosen.

The WSJ are either using the same sources as former VIPS member and Lyndon LaRouche’s follower Col. Pat Lang, or they are using Lang himself as their source. He’s the one who first came out with this meme the other day, which for some reason that side of the aisle must want this spin to be a big deal if they shopped this meme to the WSJ, too. CBS will probably push it next...

Pat Lang has written for Russia Today.

As a side note the Moscow dinner for the RT awards that Jill Stein and Flynn attended, where they were seated at the same table as Putin... had another guest seated at the table with them. That was VIPS’ Ray McGovern, the guy who helped propel the Valerie Plame leak controversy that ended up smearing Scooter Libby over the leak from Colin Powell’s office, his aide Armitage.

...Mattis resisted. Mattis reportedly warned of a possible Russian and Iranian response.

The only sane person in the room. Who would have thunk it.

Note to POTUS: When such meetings are held it should be stated to everyone in the meeting that the entire meeting and everything said in it is top secret, and if any word of the meeting gets out someone is going to be fired.

Take a deep breath and grow up, people. The Pentagon prepares thousands of plans that never get executed. It’s part of their job to consider contingencies and develop plans to address them. There’s nothing shocking or crazy about this. If they weren’t doing this, they would be derelict in their duties.

The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, most likely the rear end of a male bos taurus ...

He refused to attack Russians directly and risk starting World War III.

Obviously he’s Putin’s stooge. /sarc

“The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources”

Which means the article is tripe, fiction, Pravdaesque, discredited, false, fake, lie, BS, bunch of crap, pure horsesh*t, un-sourced propaganda, untruthful, fraudulent....
