First you insinuated that our military notifying Russia of impending bombing was somehow foul play.
Now you are claiming that Jim Mattis was against bombing Syria.
You posted the article. Did you read it?
To clear the record
The New York Times

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis urged President Trump to get
congressional approval before launching airstrikes against Syria last week.
He was overruled.
So, was Mattis against bombing Syria?

Oh, look, over there, Sean Hannity!
Like a moth to light ...
But as an academic exercise, I'll probably take multiple unnamed sources from a reputable news organization over Sarah Sanders (or whoever) in the briefing room.
Seems a little naive for someone who obviously knows better. The volume of stories are probably a reasonable indicator that Mattis was a voice for moderation, to an undetermined degree, and probably for reasons that you'd personally ageee with.
I think that speaks to your own biases more than it does to any supportive reasoning.
