Talk:Alleged Chemical Attacks, March 25-April 3, 2017

Haley, March 30 vs April, 9. Good catch. But what does it mean? In theory, she is a Cabinet member and is supposed to represent views of the executive branch as a whole. But she is a bit of a loose cannon in the tower, so she may be representing mostly herself? A tower wing? --Resup (talk) 14:06, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Presumably, she was on script with the Trump White House in both cases, in a bold step back and two steps forward on the Syria hostility campaign. Considering the first step in that awkward dance came hours after the CW reports, it raises some questions (how long until a serious backtrack is needed now? - it was a few days). To be fair the reports were kind of low-key, no fatalities, etc. But still, some reports of both chlorine and sarin-ish material, in different areas, could have led to a pause. They now say sarin is confirmed in this prelude to Khan Sheikhoun. Need to add that I guess.


 * And on Haley - not sure who picked the photos to show in her diatribe, for example. Don't close your eyes, she insists, brandishing ... a kid with a line across his neck (irrelevant I suspect, but to some a sign of strangulation), and at least one girl and a woman with blood from the nose and not the mouth (suggests a skull injury, not rain or even inhalation injury from an irritant poison). Why those two images? Would she have used the one with four wounded children laid together if she knew about it? --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
