“...and the fact that the concern here is that perhaps the president doesn’t understand how complicated this is”

Standard CRAP from these bastards. They cannot explain why we’re there to us mortals because THEY KNOW FULL WELL that we have no business there, but if they admit we don’t belong there, they hand Trump a ‘victory’ and that must be avoided AT ALL COSTS...including the lives of US servicemen.

“Well Obama pulled all the troops out of Iraq and no one seemed to mind, why is this different?”

Because we never should have been there in the first place.

And, no, that doesn’t make any sense, but that’s about all that the Left has going for them.

The clapper continues to cause many left-wing types, with no moral boundaries, a lot of discomfort.

This and the NYT piece are really quite serious hit pieces.

Things are heating up in the world and I suggest bigger things are on the immediate horizon. Much sooner than we believe. Merkel, Trudeau, and Macron have all proclaimed in public that the sovereignty of their countries is no longer a fact. Rather recently I believe.

It seems that there is a lot of "testimony" that Trump is on the edge of insanity kinda stuffm and at Christmas, to boot. They're convincing their idiot masses that taking him out is good for everyone.

Figures that their *really sincere* embrace of John McCain (now that he's dead) would more or less require that they *really sincerely* embrace a "don't ever bring home the troops" mentality. Until all the Demwit corrupt a-holes hang, no one else will ever be safe again.

former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, also a CNN contributor, discussed potential “unintended consequences”

Unintended Consequences, you say? Betcha he didn't mention Henry Bowman.

Be careful what you wish for, Clapper.

Erika Hill is so intelligent that she can glean that PDJT might not grasp “how complicated this is,” while she does. Where do they find these arrogant people?

Chris Wallace was a disgrace the way he encouraged Panetta:

23 Dec: Washington Times: ‘Unfit’: Trump’s wild Washington week spurs increase in 25th Amendment talk
Julian Castro: ‘He’s not behaving like he’s fit for office’
By Valerie Richardson
The words “panic,” “crisis,” and “chaos” loomed large Sunday...
Both NBC’s Chuck Todd and Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace asked guests whether they questioned Mr. Trump’s fitness for office...
***The “chaos” theme is only expected to escalate as the 2020 presidential race heats up...

Former Rep. Leon Panetta, who served in the Clinton and Obama cabinets, said there was “too much chaos.”
“I’ve been in politics over 50 years, in a number of positions, and working under nine presidents,” Mr. Panetta said on “Fox News Sunday.” I’ve never seen a situation like this in which almost every important area that is key to this country is confronting crisis, or confronting crisis in terms of our national security.”...
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/23/25th-amendment-calls-remove-trump-increase/

yet the media reports it as if Panetta hadn’t been goaded by Wallace:

23 Dec: The Hill: Panetta: ‘Almost every important area that is key to this country is confronting crisis’
By Michael Burke
“I’ve been in politics over 50 years in a number of positions and working under nine presidents. I’ve never seen a situation like this, in which almost every important area that is key to this country is confronting crisis,” Panetta said during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”
Panetta noted sharp drops in the stock market, the partial government shutdown that went into effect Saturday and President Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria, which prompted the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis…
https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/422642-panetta-almost-every-important-area-that-is-key-to-this-country-is

it was Wallace who listed off the so-called “crises” when asking a question.

They need to keep hiding that Clapper in the closet.

Fox pushing the Panetta garbage:

23 Dec: Fox News:’Very possible’ partial government shutdown will last into the new year, Mulvaney says
by Gregg Re; Fox News’ Chad Pergram and Mike Emanuel contributed to this report.
But Leon Panetta, who previously served as CIA Director, Secretary of Defense, White House Chief of Staff and OMB Director, later told Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” that the administration’s move to withdraw from Syria — apparently over Mattis’ repeated and strenuous objections — was irresponsible...
He added: “If we’re sending a message to ISIS that somehow they can come back, they can be resilient, they can, at some point come back and attack us and have us vulnerable to another 9/11 attack — that’s unacceptable.”...

The troublemakers are trying to convince the country that the president is the troublemaker. I have a brother who is a police officer. He’s a smart man but his hatred of Trump is blinding him to the truth. My entire family and almost all my relatives hate the president and say the most awful things about him. I no longer hold my tongue at them. They attack the president in my presence and I give them an earful in return. I’m beyond angry that we’ve become a banana republic and that a not so silent coup is being attempted to oust President Trump from office.

Clapper: Trump’s ‘Appalling Arrogance’ Dangerous — Could Cause ‘Unintended Consequences’

Even worse for America's enemies on the political left: Trump's disruptive patriotism is causing the intended consequences.
