Midknight Review -- new and revised: Fake News Story #185: Hillary is more a hawk than Trump.

The Daily Mail, an anti-Trump news outlet, repeatedly states that Hillary suggested a bombing raid on Syria hours before Trump made the call. I am calling this a "fake news story" for more than one reason.

First. the Daily Mail has no idea as to when Trump made his call. We do.

Secondly, Hillary was Barack Obama's approving Secretary of State and his refusal to use brute force against Syria. Her words are hollow in view of her history.

Fox News reported that the crew on board of the USS Porter and the USS Ross, required two days training to prepare for the Tomahawk missile strikes on Thursday. The siran gas attack was on Tuesday. I would argue that Trump made his call almost immediately follow the Syrian gas attack.

Make note that, without doubt, Hillary's call for airstrikes against Syria did not involve an unilateral response on the part of the United States. Rather, she would have waited to gather an alliance, taking days if not weeks, would have sent warning after warning, and would not have stuck with the same devastation as did Trump.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

In 2013, when a sarin nerve gas attack left more than 1,400 dead outside Damascus, President Barack Obama went to Congress to get approval to strike.
183 Republicans were against bombing the country. Only 12 Republicans, including then-House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), sided with the president to launch a strike. 243 Congressional members swaying towards voting “No.”
