Getting Assad's Attention, Reagan Style

Michael Reagan
Apr 14, 2018 12:01 AM



To strike Syria, or not to strike Syria.

As of Thursday evening, Donald Trump, our tweeter in chief, is keeping the world, the Russians and Syria's dictator-in-chief Bashar al-Assad guessing.

On Wednesday, President Trump said U.S. missiles "will be coming" to visit Syria in retaliation for its government's alleged use of chemical weapons on the Syrian town of Douma on April 7.

On Thursday, Trump hedged a little, tweeting that he "Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!"

Later he tweeted, "We'll see what happens."

Trump being Trump, we won't know what will happen until he makes it happen.

Mike's been dining out on his dad's reputation for too long. In doing so he's been all over the map.

IIRC, his dad's exercise with Gaddafi ended up with one of Muamar's children being killed.

Shortly thereafter, he supposedly gave up the quest for nukes.

On balance, I think Ronald Reagan did the right thing.  It was good on more than one level, he proved to the Frenchies we'll do it without them if they want to be a-holes about it.
