to donald trump s almost stream of conscious thinking about syria. we heard him say we re going to take troops out. we heard him say no we re going to redouble our efforts, and we have not seen a coherent syria strategy. and i think that there s a need for that in the larger context but certainly a chemical attack is so reprehensible, and if it s a measured response, i would stand by it. senator, you re going to be in the hearings this afternoon will mark zuckerberg will be testifying, and i ve been having discussions all morning about what success looks like here. i think the country is aware that facebook has not handled our information as well as we would have liked them to. i think the country is also aware there are good things about facebook, and it is sort of revolutionized our internet experience. what are you looking to achieve out of the hearings? well, i think about the fact
