Romney: Ceasefire Announcement ‘Far from a Victory’
Breitbart ^ | 10/17/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 10/18/2019 6:14:04 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During a speech on the Senate floor on Thursday, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) stated that while he welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire in Syria, “It is far from a victory.”

Romney said, “I welcome the vice president’s announcement of a ceasefire, which will prevent further loss of life. I hope the agreement is honored. … The announcement today is being portrayed as a victory. It is far from a victory. Serious questions remain about how the decision was reached to precipitously withdraw from Syria and why that decision was reached.”

The Turks are saying it’s not even a ceasefire.

Romney ran away to France to avoid serving. I cant find any member of his family that ever served. Yet, here he is, beating the war drums

Romney is the DemonicRat party’s cuckold.

Commander in Chief decided to leave. See how easy? Who decided to go and stay 10 years? Better question

He’s a Mormon. Utah elected him.

It’s on them.

Idiots.

Both Romney and GW Bush dodged the draft during the Vietnam War (Romney with eight deferments for being a Mormon missionary in France), GW Bush bc his daddy pulled levers to get him into the Alabama National Guard, where he wouldn’t even attend biweekly meetings. Now they are the biggest war hawks around - we have another name for them - chickenhawks.

I really wish Trump would hammer this home more. You want war, take a vote. Do that daily for a week

Many of us voted in a similar manner.

The proverbial lesser of two evils

Sarah stayed to reveal chronyism . The media took her down.

The Donald is more than their equal on this topic and the whole Ukraine fiasco is rooted in his uncovering it.

He is a self made man something not seen in politics in the recent era .

To me the recent Syria vote is cloaking military graft by suppliers

Trump didn’t fire a shot, drop a bomb to get a cease fire.

He can destroy an economy more effectively and as he stated uses unconventional , but effective means to avoid bloodshed and loss of lives

That alliance with Bush and Clinton does not make Clinton any cleaner, but does make Bush just a little less than clean.

Exactly how many more decades would we have to wait for ‘victory’ in the middle east?

Romney will challenge Trump in the primary.

Attention all patriots: Be sure to get off your duff and vote for Trump in the 2020 primary. The rejection of Romney and any other jackasses who challenge the President must be resounding and epic.

“Senator Romney, how many troops and how much money should we expend defending the Syrian border from Turkey? Follow up question: how many troops and how much money should we expend defending the US border from Mexico?”

He lost to Obama on purpose, IMO

“Maybe I just answered my own questions.”

Those were my reasons too. Trump’s election was the first in a very long time that I didn’t have to hold my nose when voting.

I know hes just playing politics but this is really ridiculous does he really expect to run on an argument that we didn’t get a victory on a sliver of northern Syria fought over between the Turks and the Kurds both of whom are our allies?
