F this Mattis fool... He was who Romney pushed to run as a 3rd party. Out Out Out
Deal with it, General.
Same guy Romney tried to defeat mr Trump with as I recall. CERTAINLY NR TRUMP CAN FIND another military person for sec of Defense !!!?
It didn’t dawn on him that the Arabs were the problem?
Ouch!
Children don’t want to do their homework either. They complain.
I guess he would think the parents were wrong if kids complained.
Not a real issue. As Secretary of Defense Gen’l Mattis will not be setting American policy. His opinion on west bank settlements is irrelevant to the job he will be entrusted with.
Said in 2013, so maybe he believed this, or maybe he was just kissing the butt of the anti-Israel occupant of the Oval Office. It doesn’t make me eager to see this dude nominated to be Sec. of Defense.
Eat it while President Trump doubles or triples our aid to Israel and the Israeli people will now live in Peace and prosperity. Trump will protect Israel!
This is a red flag, IMHO. It points to a possible lack of understanding of the true nature & threat of Islam.
Supporting good against evil will cause you to pay a price againf=st evil. What is the alternative he would suggest? Trump should dump him!!!
He has a cult for tough talk, but he isn’t what people wish he was. he has that big “pleading with you with tears in my eyes...or ill kill you all quote”.
When his Marines were attacked and responded violently, he prosecuted and persecuted them to make Murtha happy. He is for Israel leaving the west bank and creating a nation state called Palestine that can threaten all of Israel with little more than large mortars and homemade rockets. He loves Kerry too.
maybe the dems will be more prone to give him the waiver he is going to need.
He’s 180 degrees wrong.
Cicero said: “by defending our allies, our people have gained the whole world.”
especially for Muslims, abandoning our natural allies only encourages their violence.
Can’t find the date line on this piece.
Was it from 2010 or 2011??
Here’s a quarter... Buy a spine.
Being a good warfighting general is an apolitical task, but setting policy as a civilian department head is altogether different. Jim Mattis was a fine combat leader, and we should leave it at that.
Yea Jimmy, everyone pays a price for believing truth, but the rewards of truth are eternal life. The reward for political correctness is hellfire (broad is the way that leads to destruction)
It’s “Times of Israel”, people. Sheesh can’t you see a head-shot taken by the other side?
Wow. Just wow. I was all gung ho about this guy....but then what do I know.
He wont get Sec of Defense...Trump is pro Israel and his dtr and son in law are Jewish...they sure would know about this.
wow, time for me to educate myself more!!!
What he said is just the truth. There’s a price- but it’s well compensated.
That’s how foreign affairs are done.
At the time of his speech in July 2013 Egypt’s military has just overthrown the Muslim Brotherhood government and Egypt/Israel cooperation- the basis of any Israeli peace- was in flux.
Or is that dancing dangerously close to enacting Godwin's law?
