Bannon Loses National Security Council Role in Trump Shakeup

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/...rom-national-security-council-role-in-shakeup

"President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council’s principals committee at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.

A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. He’s no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.

Trump fired Flynn on Feb. 13 for not disclosing to the president or to Vice President Mike Pence the extent of his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, before Trump’s inauguration."



Why in heavens name would you appoint someone to National Security Adviser if you thought he needed "monitoring"
I do love the smell of fresh BS in the morning.
 
He's an idiot, but that strike was the correct course of action in my view. As long as it's a singular attack in specific response to the usage of chemical weaponry.

I do find it funny how Putin is pretending to be arsed about it though. Like he's got any problem whatsoever with his puppet in the White House.

Apparently one of the bases they hit had Russians there. Could get a little bit messy this one, although i agree it had to be done.
"Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat Airfield, reducing the Syrian Government's ability to deliver chemical weapons," the Pentagon said in a statement.

Having received a 24 hour warning to move the Russian troops out of the way.
