      Trump's initial withdrawal order directly contradicted Bolton's earlier public pronouncements on Syria. He has also undermined Pompeo, and before that Tillerson, on the same subject. Clearly he rebuffed Mattis. So there is no unified administration policy -- maybe by design.

      Trump said today the Syria withdrawal is "going quickly" (whatever that may mean) while Bolton declared "conditions" that could make it go exceedingly slowly or never happen at all. So what's actually happening? (Also note Trump's casual expression of willingness to meet w/ Iran)pic.twitter.com/35V7VZFyv1

          The establishment freakout over the Syria withdrawal has, perversely, made Bolton out to be the "reasonable" one by default, even though Bolton's foreign policy positions (such as favoring indefinite US military presence in Syria) are insane.

          Not that this would've been hard to guess, but there is strong evidence that Bolton, Pompeo, and others have been pursuing their own agendas without Trump's approval. (Although Trump bears ultimate responsibility for appointing them in the first place) https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/they-can-do-what-they-want-trumps-iran-comments-defy-the-position-of-his-top-aides/2019/01/03/86a69d56-0f71-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html?utm_term=.c9753461b962 …pic.twitter.com/Ubq3RfXExW

          Why credit him on “willingness to meet” (“they want to talk” is more like boasting he’s starving them to table.) He just had a cabinet meeting with “Sanctions are Coming” that we all know hurt people more than ruling class (like working class Iranian men fleeing to enter UK.)

          If the Syria withdrawal is real then Bolton no longer belongs in the administration.

          You don't seem to understand the Art of the Deal. You think everything Trump says should be taken at face value. You never criticized Obama's 'strategy' of "Like your doctor, Keep your doctor". Or his Syrian "Red Line in the Sand"..

          Michael, does Trump even know what is going on? Or is he isolated in a bubble being told that are happening that in reality are not happening?
