John Bolton takes over as national
security adviser today in the midst of a new national security
crisis: another chemical
attack in Syria. President Trump responded with strongly
worded tweets blaming both Russian President Vladimir Putin and
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, warning there would be a “big
price to pay.”
— WaPo:
Bolton starts today, with a Syria crisis on the agenda. But there arelimits to what he can do. (Paywall)
“Lucky” John
Bolton
on his first day
may get to say,
“Okay. Good to
go!
All bombs away!”
and not have to
wait
while Congres
debates
to kill at will
people he hates.
