So much for the revised US plans, now revealed to have been about overthrowing Assad all along, to be derailed by the Syrian attempt to appease the aggressor.
- REID SAYS SENATE WILL HOLD PROCEDURAL VOTE ON SYRIA WEDNESDAY
More importantly, DE Shaw's headline algo now appears to have been finally recalibrated to respond to "moar woar" flashing red headlines as bullish for confidence, represented as always in the New Normal, by the S&P as stocks just hit new intraday highs on the news.
And since the Senate decision has now become an absolute farce, the only recourse for "leaders" like Reid who have no factual evidence aside from produced YouTube clips, is appealing to the basest of emotions with phrasing that gets progressively more and more hyperbolic:
- “This is the most gruesome and extensive” use of chemical weapons, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says in opening floor remarks.
Reid offers a motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 21, the use-of-force-in-Syria resolution that was introduced last week; first procedural vote set for Wednesday - “This brutality demands a response”
- “This matter demands the attention of the Senate”
Luckily it also demands zero evidence aside from the most sincere of promises by the militants in the US government, that one should just trust them.
Finally, one wonders: just where will the Senate procedural vote take place: in Congress, or in Bandar bin Sultan [4]'s office?
