***even A.B. if only for comic release ... But now she’s reduced to spitting and sputtering, literally shaking in indignation***

It could have been great theater if it wasn't so unacceptably pathetic. She pulled her covers off and exposed herself for what she is. I have always suspected she was a lib but to now she has maintained her image.

She may have done herself in on Spcl Rpt; she certainly has with me. Can you imagine dealing with that across the breakfast table?! 😮

Well, his disregard for the Haditha Marines says far more than anything else.

Kinda sucks this is never discussed.

Thank you for that detailed reminder.

Trump works together with MBS on all issues in the middle east and the game plan from now on is to let the Saudis take the lead. One of the driveby complaints is that the kurds will be effected.
Well they will!The Saudis just agreed to fund them with a billion dollars in new improvemtns and business ventures.
In addition troop wise there is this:

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the DC Decepticons are concerned about the Kurdish groups in Syria as the President Trump withdraws U.S. forces. The concern stems from a possibility of Turkey taking hostile action toward our Kurdish allies. However, a new report from the region highlights Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is sending his forces to replace the U.S. troops.

SAUDI ARABIA – Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent military forces to areas controlled by the Kurdish YPG group in north-east Syria, Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper reported.

The paper said the forces will be stationed with US-led coalition troops and will support its tasks with huge military enforcements as well as heavy and light weapons.

Quoting the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the newspaper reported that a convoy of troops belonging to an Arab Gulf state recently arrived in the contact area between the Kurdish PKK/YPG and Daesh in the Deir Ez-Zor countryside.

This comes at a time when Ankara is preparing to launch an expanded military operation with the Free Syrian Army against the Kurdish PKK group in the northeast of Syria. (read more)

Now let’s consider the brilliance of this move.

First, remember Turkish President Recep Erdogan was the antagonist in the Kashoggi matter and Erdogan orchestrated the blame toward Saudi Crown Prince MbS. There is no better motivated mid-east ally to protect the Kurds against any military action by Turkey other than MbS. No doubt MbS and UAE will send their best forces.

Secondly, what military equipment will MbS and the UAE be shipping along with their military troops? Those would be military purchases directly from the U.S.
..........................
So looks like the Sauidis and the UAE will be taking the place and then some of the 2,000 troop we will be pulling out of a no-win state syria.
More Trump brilliance you will never read about.
