Well, you're right about the fake news. Back in 2013, Obama accused Assad of gassing his own people. The UN studied both attacks carefully and concluded that al-Nusra (Obama's beloved and well-financed rebels) actually did the gassing, although Assad might have used gas in a direct conflict with al-Nusra later that year.

We aren't talking about that ... that Obama jumped to a conclusion about the source of the gas and wanted to take us to war for it. Who gave him the false intelligence that claimed Assad did it? The same administrative state that told George W Bush that Saddam was seeking yellow-cake uranium.

Now Trump has fallen for the same fake news from the administrative state.

Maybe the problem isn't the politicians, but the bureaucracy that stays in place from one administration to the next and does not want to lose its power, so manipulates the politicians to do what the real rulers want. Bush, Obama, Trump, Clinton when she was secretary -- all fell for it.
