Liz Cheney says she strongly opposes Trump on Syria, Afghanistan
CBS News ^ | December 23, 2018 | Holly Rosenkrantz

Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House GOP leadership, called on President Trump to reverse his decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria. She also urged him to reverse his plans to cut the number of troops in Afghanistan.

"I am deeply, deeply concerned, and I oppose strongly the president's decision to apparently withdraw troops from Syria," Cheney said in a "Face the Nation" interview on Sunday. "I think the president has done a lot of very good things," but "these two decisions would be disastrous."

Cheney said Mr. Trump's decision was a "very dangerous path to go down." She also criticized an earlier "Face the Nation" interview with Republican Sen. Rand Paul, dismissing his embrace of the president's position on Syria and Afghanistan as "unburdened by facts."

She most likely gets her views straight from her Dad, ex-VP Cheney. So it’s natural that she’s going to be biased right now. My advice? Don’t push it, Liz.

Nation-building in Islamic countries using U.S. troops is in the Cheney family blood.

The end result is invariably disastrous.

So, the ones who want to stay - other than collecting “funding” from people who care nothing for us, what are their goals?

Specifically.

What do they want in a country where 95% of the people would vote for the Taliban in a free election?

What do they want in a land which is going to be ruled by Turks, or Persians? Do THEY want to rule it?

Of course she does. Endless war is what the globalists all want.

“We ought to make sure that we keep our troops there in order to prevent the establishment of safe havens from those groups that want to attack us,” Cheney said.

She doesn’t want to get out of a worthless non winnable war her old man started 17 years ago.

Dems supported Dopey Obama even after they lost over 1,000 state legislative seats. They hang together.

Republicans believe in the circular firing squad with POTUS in the middle. He is taking fire from all sides from traitors.

I am sick of this party, sick of Rinos, sick of scumbag traitors.

Yes, get out of Syria— the Assad government and the Russians are not our enemy. But do we really want ISIS or the Taliban controlling a sovereign Afghanistan, installing long-range nuclear missiles there, then demanding “ditch Israel, let the migrants in, (pick your nightmare), or we’re taking out New York”?

It’s dangerous to the war profiteers bottom line.

"these two decisions would be disastrous."

Not believable, especially in light of the decisions in Iraq and Afghanistan all these years; the wars were won within a year of combat and then those victories were squandered in no-win policy postures. To reverse the Presidential decision now would show so much more weakness than going forward with the withdrawals.
