Poking a tinderbox: What Donald Trump’s change of heart on Syria could mean
NEW YORK — A famous man once said attacking Syria could start the Third World War, that it was a terrible idea, that it couldn’t happen without a congressional vote, and that a president who did so might be inspired by the dark ulterior motive of goosing his listless poll numbers.
Who said all this? Why, Donald Trump, of course.
But that was back when he was a Barack Obama-bashing Twitter pundit and not the commander-in-chief, and for another five years he would give no indication of a change of heart as gas attacks rained and barrel bombs exploded upon Syrian civilians.
Until this week.
