Also, I have a problem with Tucker’s overall angst with the Syrian strike. I and many others including the Syrians themselves applaud Trump for doing this. Finally, we don’t have a weak, double-minded President who doesn’t draw phony “red lines”. God bless Trump.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to gauge when Tucker’s coming from.

At this point, it looks like Trump has decided to grab a pail too.

Ditto. I heard a wonderful call to a talk show from a vet. You know how neocons love to refer to "boots on the ground"? He didn't like that @ all. He said he and his comrades weren't boots. They are MEN. And he thought this was a deliberate effort to make us forget the true costs of these geopolitical games.

He's what many Trump supporters are (although he isn't one particularly): sick of foreign wars. But he's very good on many other topics and a fierce debater.

Well I'm a Trump supporter and I'm in favor of
1) whatever it takes to protect American interests and
2) supporting freedom around the world as the Leader of the free world, as Reagan did (not as Bush purportedly, but not actually, did with his CYA after-the-fact nation-building excuse for Iraq when it became the predicable fiasco).

Trump supporters...(although he isn't one particularly)

Maybe that's my problem with Tucker. So many anti-Trump folks seem to presume that a Trump act is a misdeed until it is proven otherwise. Maybe I'm talking to someone who also didn't support Trump and has a automatic negative bias towards him and his acts.

But he's very good on many other topics

I have found myself unclear about where he stands on topics and often disagreeing with him once I figure out what he's standing for. Interestingly, I didn't feel this way when he was a guest analysis on other shows. To me, it felt like something changed when he got his own show. Maybe Fox gave him his marching orders. Dunno.

and a fierce debater

So was Kelly, but with her at least and possibly with Tucker, it seemed more like conscientiousness and usually on the wrong side of the debate IMO.

I was very surprised that she did not articulate the reasons why we need to be involved in Syria better than she did. I would have thought that given all the time that she has been supporting war in Syria that she would formed a coherent argument for it by now.

Because the donations from the war industry will keep coming. Knew perfectly well, just thought it was immodest to say it.

Lindsey came across as an idiot. This is the best the US can do? He considers himself an expert? Really?

The American entanglements over the last sixty years in most of the world has not enhanced the security of the United States.

Obama did a retreat and that did not work out so well.

Obama did half-measures, which is worse than doing nothing.

Yup. I remember reading somewhere that the IC was after Flynn. I didn’t believe it. I should have believed it.

China in the ME and very busy in Africa.

This might explain why Trump was so quick to take advantage of Assad's miscalculation.

While in Africa.....
