Hey, look at Pence with his concerned cadre strategerizing and such

At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, tomorrow
I will lead a delegation with @SecPompeo, NSA Robert
O'Brien & Amb. James Jeffrey to call on Turkey to stop
the invasion, enact an immediate ceasefire & begin
negotiations to restore peace and stability to the region.

Can you imagine the gravitas, the credibility, the clout this brain trust is going to heft striding into negotiations like so many diplomatic colossi? Erdogan's just got to be shaking in his boots. And not with suppressed laughter, so stop saying that!

Do we still have 1,000 surrounded troops? Even if we can get Erdogan to get them out then we will owe him for that. Snowballing kompromat.

of the comically small minds of at least two of the people in the photo. But getting rid of the vase of flowers, fake or not, won't improve the IQ in that room.
