The Tweet to War! Backtrack today?

Donald Trump has said he never revealed when an attack on Syria would take place, in what could be a stunning reversal from Wednesday’s warning to Russia to “get ready” for US missiles. 

 “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!” he tweeted on Thursday morning. “In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our ‘Thank you America?’.” The latest volley from the US President came as the Kremlin claimed a special hotline for the US and Russian militaries to communicate about their operations in Syria was active and being used by both sides.
