Democrats should be careful about supporting a rush into war.

Haven't we learned anything?

Where did this video come from? Was it AP or another news service? Or was it something someone had in an archive? We should not follow Donald Trump into war on such flimsy evidence, in my opinion. He is not a credible source.

Trump hasn't made any decisions yet so no one knows what he is planning. It doesn't help anyone if Democrats just start running around al helter skelter like Henny Penny and schreaching that the sky is falling. Better that we come to the party with a specific complaint against Trump's mad schemes and a better plan than he does, yeah?

....not much use to say anything, huh?

I'm only saying that Democrats should be very careful about supporting any attacks on Syria at this time.
