White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said Sunday that an impending U.S. attack on Syria would send a message to Iranian leaders that they should not feel free to develop nuclear weapons.

It will send them a message that the US is run by a lunatic and will reinforce their desire to develop nuclear weapons

“This is an opportunity to be bold with the Iranians,” McDonough said on NBC’s Meet the Press.

This was supposed to be about Syria.

He said, “nobody is rebutting the intelligence; nobody doubts the intelligence” that is the basis for President Barack Obama pinning the blame for an August 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria on President Bashar Assad’s regime which is fighting to suppress a rebellion that began in 2011.

The UN hasn’t even released their report yet. The May UN report said that the rebels likely had chemical weapons.
