Tucker Carlson Pushes Sen Graham to Explain Call for Troops in Syria, how long, and at what cost?
Fox News ^ | 4/7/17 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 04/08/2017 10:22:53 AM PDT by PK1991

Tucker Carlson interviews Senator Graham and asks for specifics on what his call for 7,000 troops in Syria means. Who would they fight, how long would they stay, how much would it cost. In the interview, Senator Graham expresses support for fighting ISIS, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Russia. I may be missing a few nations.

Is Senator Graham articulating the deep thinking in the Republican party on how to deal with threats overseas? Trump: "I can't figure it out so I'll drop a few million of cruise missiles on an airfield ala Bill Clinton and General Wesley Clark; Graham: "Everyone is a threat so kill them all and let God sort it out." Maybe Jared will figure it out.

Graham, McCain, Rubio and Hillary still want a war with Russia.
Syria seems to be the way to get it at this time.

McCain is calling for more U.S.-funded goodies for the "Free Syrian Army" and a no-fly zone.

Hope Trump tells this duo to take a hike.

Little Lindsay Graham, and his fellow travelers, can ALWAYS be depended upon to carry Saudi Arabia’s water.

I watched that. Graham sounded very lame.

One week the Army says they're in such bad shape only a couple of brigades out of our whole force are really combat ready.

Next week Graham and/or McCain tell us just where to send one of the few brigades in good shape.

This all looks like a way to keep the US so tied down they won't be able to respond to something large in another part of the world.

We better pray we haven't made enemies of someone who thinks in long range strategic terms rather than in the short term colonialist mindset trap we're in.

Carlson Tucker is starting to look like another Megyn Kelly to me.

Face it. The American entanglements over the last sixty years in most of the world has not enhanced the security of the United States. A huge price in human and material treasure has been paid and what is more, intractable needless long term enemies to the American people have been created. This most recent involvement will do nothing either for the Syrian people or the American people long term. Islamic culture is in a violent transformation since it is not compatible with the values,institutions and practices of modernity which is challenging it. The challenge and fundamental changes cannot be avoided. The chaos in the Mideast will only get worse and persist for a very long time. Americans should not be involved nor make anymore sacrifices.. Period!

From my perspective Russia won’t go to war over Syria. Because if that were not the case, why did they not declared war on the U.S. two days ago?

It wasn't designed to. It was simply a message; Don't eff with us.

What happened to Trump’s ISIS narrative? The Deep State tap him and he’s compromised now?

Graham puts all doubt to rest that he is a complete tool of the Neocons and their globalist advocates.

In this context:
Neocon = advocates for endless war.
Globalists = advocates for no borders.

You better chunk your President in there as well.

Seems he is taking advice from them or getting unhinged over a picture of a dead lad that looks like his grandson

Considering Trumps been fighting the entrenched corrupt from every direction in D.C. since day one, did ya think everything was going to happened in a couple of months in office?

Get real.

Btw, I believe you're projecting and Trump being compromised is exactly what you'd like to see. You're going to be very disappointed. Not going to happen.☺
