Jared speaks for Israel, in my estimation.

Israel wants Assad gone.

I am one who thinks both of these are bad ideas.

Trump should listen more to his base and less to some of these in-house globalists.

So Trump, like Obama did, should telegraph to the MSM, our enemies, exactly what we intend to do and how many bombs, troops, etc. Just put all cards on the table face-up?

Does that sound like a winning strategy?

I will choose to trust he will tell us stuff when it gives our enemy no advantage and the element of surprise is still intact...that includes using overwhelming force they cannot prepare for.

Well said. A lot of freepers have bought, lock stock & barrel, into Jared & Ivanka being Trump’s brain. Which is risible on the face of it. A lot of it is hatred of their New York City wealth and good looks. Whether they stay in Washington or decamp home is immaterial to me. I’m sticking with our president.

If Israel wants Assad gone, who do they think is going to take his place? That’s the 6 million dollar question.

It accomplished exactly what Obama wanted. Iron fisted dictators gone that force the tribes to sort of behave or die, so iron fisted Islam can take over and murder at will kill all the non-muslims and muslims they do not like. An religiously cleansed even more evil Islamic world.

The Cruz attacks are getting real old.

There are still a handful of the old trolls who have to come to every Cruz thread to let us know how smart they are and how dumb we are for supporting Ted.

Yes, it would take quite a conservative to primary Croooze, what with his character traits veiled by his performance in two campaigns, of using the Bible, the flag and the Constitution as stage props.

Who would dare criticize such a silver tongue?

Crooze already sat his bags down in the US Senate office before Texas heard of his falsified sob story about spending his last penny to even be able to mount a run for US Senate.

That revelation was the first of a list of dubious actions, as long as Hillary’s arm, that this player would launch, a list far too long to roll out for the 30th time on FR.

He’s a provable liar and a cheat.

Ethically challenged, he has loads of Goldman cash, making him a formidable goof ball to beat.

I’m a psycho, for knowing Croooze is a putz and a climber? Well, LOL.

Excellent posts, both of yours. That’s exactly where I was going.

Laying out a map to your supply closet, for a bunch of blood thirsty hungry devourers, would be insanity and to do so with details is not Trump’s style.

If Syria collapses ala Iraq and Libya, it’ll be a great base to launch strikes against Israel indefinitely.

In case you missed, Trump said that we are not going to war in Syria. We're not stopping Assad or the Russians for retaking the country. We, along with our allies, are in the process of sweeping ISIS from Syria.

So, why all the bed wetting?

“what with his character traits veiled by his performance in two campaigns, of using the Bible, the flag and the Constitution as stage props.”

For some of us the Bible and Constitution matter. I’m glad that some politicians still get that.

“Crooze already sat his bags down in the US Senate office before Texas heard of his falsified sob story about spending his last penny to even be able to mount a run for US Senate... He’s a provable liar and a cheat.”

I have lived long enough to know that people who scream the loudest about other’s minor character flaws do the SAME thing. I can read you like a book. You have no problem spreading lies and slanders about people even when they are proven false. You’ll go to sources like the NYT to supply evidence to promote your twisted, anti-conservative fetish.

“Ethically challenged, he has loads of Goldman cash”

Those who attack Cruz will not hold their political favorites to the same standard which make them (i.e. you) hypocrites.

There is something deeply sick about people who focus their filthy, perverted, bloodlust to destroy a conservative who is one of the few who consistently votes pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-gun rights, pro-freedom of religion, pro-limited government. Especially when 100% of the Democrats are the opposite, and 75% of the Republicans are the opposite. Yet you and your ilk focus on one of the extremely few conservative reps we have in Washington. Sick. Disgusting. Doesn’t belong on a conservative forum.

Cruz is not perfect, but he should be at the very bottom of the list of who any conservative wants to try to replace. Anyone who does not see this is either a lying, phony conservative or completely out of touch with reality. Which are you?

Here’s the reality check if you are not a lying, fake conservative:

https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard

Then check the senators:

https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard?MyMembers=false&chamber=senate&sort=Score&order=Descending&page=1

Cruz is among the 5 senators who are ranked 90%+ conservative based on their voting record. (And 2 of those 5 have a shorter track record than Cruz.) Look at the rest.

Yet, we have folks like yourself, on a conservative, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-religious freedom forum, who hate Cruz more than Pelosi, Clinton, Boxer, or Obama.

Every time the name Cruz comes up, you respond like a demon being exorcised and start screaming filth. You sound like a spokesman for Planned Parenthood, or Southern Poverty Law Center, or an LA Times journalist.

And some of us long-time conservatives wonder why.

Yeah. I’m not sure whether to believe they are idiots who are trying to organize a circular firing squad, or anti-conservative fakes who really hate Cruz because of his conservatism and only use the campaign smears to keep hate alive.

It would help solidify that this is in fact the Presidents position on Syria if Tillerson and Haley would stop running off at the mouth about regime change every time a camera is on them.

No, I’ve just observed the fact several of those whining about Trump being zotted in recent days. It brought a smile to my face.
