They shouldn't be shocked. H's been pretty consistent that he wants us out of Syria from the start. The "rebels" do have a "card" they can play. Stage another chemical weapons attack like they probably did before.
Instead of trying to conduct foreign policy without working with the duly elected president I would suggest coordinating with the duly elected president, consulting with the duly elected president, and working to implement the policies of the duly elected president. These people are incorrigible and need to be stopped. We cannot have them being a law unto themselves, such is lawlessness and represents a total breakdown of society. Such people are a danger to the security and economic interests of the American people.

"moronic B's" Why yes Anon your specialty.
