Who knows what the actual decisions were, but reporting now indicates Trump ordered the attack and possibly due to Bolton’s advice and then senior pentagon officials may have gotten him to cancel. If that’s true and it certainly falls right into his playbook, is that a strong smart president, sits down with all the key people, weighs the pros and cons, then makes the call and sticks with it. This is typical reactionary Trump, hears from someone he likes and goes off quickly in that direction, walking things back is his MO.
