There was a chemical weapons attack and an end at which time president of the United States barack obama said it that was the crossing of a redline. Rather than responding militarily, the president at the time saying as he put at the time a list of bad options, decided to continue with negotiations. Negotiations which certainly did not bring an end to the syrian civil war. Today International Agency suggest that more than 500,000 Syrian People have been murdered by the fighting, have been killed in the fighting, many of them burdened by the dictator Bashar Alassad who at times has dropped barrel bonds from aircraft and helicopters murdering people and discriminate only in their homes and on the streets.

Zero mention of syria in a press conference but he has been in meeting all day trying to figure out how the u. S. Is going to respond to saturdays chemical attack in syria. Its too bad that the world puts us in a position like that. But you know as i said this morning weve done a great job with isis. Now we have to make some further decisions. They will be made fairly soon. He said they will be made fairly soon. 24 hours after addressing russia directly that a missile strike could be coming, he never said when a missile strike to take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all. Nevertheless, the United States has done a great job of ridding the region of isis. Where is our thank you, america.

Brandnew reporting this morning about a Fiery Exchange between the acting defense secretary and senator Lindsey Graham over the president s plan to withdraw United States troops from syria. And off to the races. Just hours after throwing his hat into the 2020 ring, Bernie Sanders raises more than 4 million bucks surpassing his closest rivals in fundraising intensifying a battle among democratic contenders. 4 million. Too much money is in politics. The president s scorched earth strategy to combat the numerous investigations looking into all aspects of his public and private life. New reporting shows just how far mr. Trump has gone to undermine those efforts. I have a great team to break down all of it. But first, i want to give you a snapshot of exactly where we stand because it is easy to get lost.
