Trump Risks World War for Tiny Syrian Intervention
Just a few days after striking the Assad regime in response to a chemical weapons attack, the Trump administration is now hinting at even greater involvement in Syria's bloody civil war. Sean Spicer: "The sight of people being gassed and blown away by barrel bombs ensures that if we see this kind of action again, we hold open the possibility of future action"
And so the war drums beat again in Washington, DC.
But do we really know what we're getting into?
Based on what Sean Spicer said today, it looks like the Trump administration is serious about stepping up US involvement in Syria. They're not using the word, but this means "war" doesn't it?

Quote: " It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it's just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being at the essence of getting the nominations for president or elected president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and Congress members. So now we've just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election's over'." - President Jimmy Carter on unlimited money in politics on the Thom Hartmann Program, 28 July 2015.
