We are on the brink.
With everything that's going on in Syria, any move could quickly escalate into an all-out war…
And while many think we SHOULD take a firm military stance against the use of chemical weapons, others believe we are entering without a legitimate enough interest.
Here's Tucker Carlson's take, for example:
Anyway… the White House has announced no decision has been made.
According to this:
The White House said late Thursday afternoon that a ‘final decision' had not been made on Syria.
Donald Trump said earlier in the day that Americans won't have to wait long for a response to Saturday's horrifying chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town that left at least 40 dead and others gasping for air.
But at least two of his top advisers couldn't agree on whether there's sufficient proof to blame the atrocity on dictator Bashar al-Assad's government, leaving the possibility of a retaliatory attack an open-ended question.
America's allies and adversaries alike were awaiting a signal from the White House about whether Trump will follow through on his warning that missiles ‘will be coming,' potentially putting Russian troops in harm's way.
At close of business, the White House said that Trump had just concluded a meeting with his national security team and would be speaking again later to the heads of government in France and the U.K.
‘No final decision has been made,' press secretary Sarah Sanders said. ‘We are continuing to asses intelligence and are engaged in conversations with our partners and allies.'
Trump suggested this afternoon that he'd have an answer in hours, telling reporters, ‘It's too bad that the world puts us in a position like that, but as I said this morning we've done a great job with ISIS. We have just absolutely decimated ISIS. But now we have to make some further decisions, so they'll be made fairly soon.'
“Fairly soon.”
I'm expecting to hear more tomorrow.
We'll keep you updated.
