KELLI2L2 : Many didn't like the neocons around him, and some of the things he was doing in the Middle East seemed to have neocon fingerprints all over them. Only history will tell how much of this was Trump buying time by pussyfooting around and playing along with them, until he had his ducks in a row and was ready to announce the withdrawal from Syria. I felt like Trump's big "missile attack" was more of a show - maybe purely for the folks back home - than any kind of strategic "destroy the bad guys" stuff. From what I gathered, he basically told everybody where he'd strike and gave everybody time to clear out oft the affected area.
Anyway, the point is that it seemed pretty half-hearted, but the talking heads, with total buy-in on the false flag chem attacks were thinking Trump finally did something right, and I know it pleased the entrenched deep-state neocon types. Maybe that bought him the time and the room to get us on our way out of there before New Year's.
But the scattering of resignations from this surprising move, which idiot reporters say was entirely due to the Erdogan conversation, are probably a good thing for his admin. If it smokes out some neocons (mutter-mutter John Bolton mutter-mutter. ) like Mattis, who LIKE that sort of thing, that's probably a good thing.
I just wonder if this was Trump's plan, all along and the beating-around-the-bush stuff over the last couple years was for his own political survival if not physical survival. No way of knowing, at this point, but the dumber people make Trump out to be, the more he seems to win on issues I care about, and the entire weight of the establishment opposes.

This isn't just Hillary. This is the entire DC-Beltway Establishment. It's the one thing Democrats and Republicans (the entrenched ones) BOTH are like. They make it up to be this big national-security thing, and then you come to find out it's because a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend in the oligarchy has a buddy who'll be supplying the missiles to the defense department, and business has been slow.
"Oh, sure. You'll get my vote on the grain subsidy, buddy. You bet. Alternate fuels! Green technology! You can sell that to your people back home." It's a crony system, where everybody gets to make noble speeches and everybody gets their goodies in the fine print. Nobody takes a hit for making a stand on principle. They all pretend to operate on high principles and they all scratch each others' backs to stay in power. It's disgusting, but it's just human nature.
That's why you need to limit the scope of the federal government. No centralized organization is equipped to direct the affairs of everyone, and it creates engines of corruption that nobody can stop, due to inertia, and how things get done. You make a principled stand in DC and you'll be smeared up and down with shit, and hung out to dry.
