    "Here is your narrative in the New York Times before Thursday night:

    C.I.A. Had Evidence of Russian Effort to Help Trump Earlier Than Believed

    Here is your narrative in the New York Times after:

    Syria Strike Puts U.S. Relationship With Russia at Risk"

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    I dislike Trump for a variety of reasons, but seriously. If this is the path we are walking, then are we also to believe that the Russians goaded Assad into using chemical weapons, so that Trump could more justifiably launch a missile strike? What is real versus fake news? It's hard to tell, especially when 'supposed' legitimate news sources act no differently than truthers:

    Chris Mathews is becoming the liberal Alex Jones. What a moron.

    This is one of the things that concerns me about Trump. A week ago tillerson and haley said removing assad was not a priority. Yesterday and today Haley said it is. Is that a strategy change from Trump or an impulsive reaction. What happens the next time babies die, and the time after that and after that? Our response last week surely will trigger more provocation this week.
    Do we do anything to effect regime change and what do we change it to? Is there or will there be a strategy?
