So, the NYT claims Mattis wanted to go to Congress before the Syria bombing and that the White House "overruled" him.
What's wrong with that?
Well, the White House say, "nuh uh."
But, that's just the White House being the Orange Man's house, lying like usual, right?
Well, uh, no. Mattis also said it was not true.
So, who are we supposed to believe? Do we believe the NYT, who quotes "officials", or those involved? Do we trust the guy the NYT says is "widely viewed by global leaders as the strongest and perhaps most credible voice on foreign policy in" Trump's administration, or the NYT?
It's really a mystery why no one trusts the media, isn't it?

“Reports that Secretary Mattis urged the president to seek congressional approval before last week’s strikes in Syria are categorically false,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “As Secretary Mattis explained to Congress in yesterday’s all-member briefs, the president appropriately ordered the strikes under his constitutional authorities.”

Well, uh, no. Mattis also said it was not true.
“I have no idea where that story came from,” Mattis told reporters at the top of a meeting with the Qatari defense minister. “I found nothing in it that I could recall from my own last week’s activities.”
