terrible mistake and, unfortunately, i think we re going to pay a price for it if it s not reversed. the issue, of course, as our msnbc reporting team has discovered, the president sort of did it, right? he was getting very different advice. this has been a shambolic week for the president. we said that before. with syria, i don t think he anticipated the reaction. it looks like he s weak, caving in, bugging out. it sets up a foreign policy disaster. he s now in danger of losing his base on the wall, his hard core base on the wall and some of the people who have been willing to look the other way like lindsey graham when it comes to syria. here is somebody who could have planned, i defeated isis and yet by leaving and declaring victory prematurely, he not only has defeated isis, he he has given russia a big win, iran a big win
