buchanan will show you why syria isn't what we've been told by 'our free press' and explore other aspects of our latest 'burning issue';
Is President Donald Trump about to intervene militarily in the Syrian
civil war? For that is what he and his advisers seem to be signaling.
Last week, Trump said of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s campaign to
recapture the last stronghold of the rebellion, Idlib province: “If it’s
a slaughter, the world is going to get very, very angry. And the United
States is going to get very angry, too.”
In a front-page story Monday, “Assad is Planning Chlorine Attack,
U.S. Says,” The Wall Street Journal reports that, during a recent
meeting, “President Trump threatened to conduct a massive attack against
Mr. Assad if he carries out a massacre in Idlib.”
Idlib contains three million civilians and refugees and 70,000 rebels, 10,000 of whom are al-Qaida.
Friday, The Washington Post reported that Trump is changing U.S. policy. America will not be leaving Syria any time soon.
The 2,200 U.S. troops in Syria will remain until we see “the exit of
all Iranian military and proxy forces and the establishment of a stable,
non-threatening government acceptable to all Syrians.”
“We are not in a hurry to go,” said James Jeffrey, the retired
Foreign Service officer brought back to handle the Syria account. “The
new policy is we’re no longer pulling out by the end of the year.”
President Obama had a red line against Syria’s use of poison gas,
which Trump enforced with bombing runs. Now we have a new red line. Said
Jeffrey, the U.S. “will not tolerate an attack. Period.”
