Macron: France persuaded Trump to strike in Syria

France persuaded President Trump to stay in Syria and launch airstrikes as punishment for an alleged chemical weapons attack, French President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday.

He said France now wants to involve Western powers, Russia and Turkey in a new diplomatic initiative to find a sustainable political solution in Syria.
Macron also offered to play the role of intermediary between the United States and Russia.

Interesting.

I sure hope our intelligence community had some input on the decision. I like the French and everything. But at the end of the day, the French are French and we are not. (No offense, Arturo. You know I love your country!)

Also looking to see how Teresa May's grilling went today. If Parliament is cool with her actions, that would add credibility to our actions.

Missing the days when the POTUS stepped up and used to tell us (without being too specific) where the info came from and that he checked with Congress first.
