(Rep.) Tulsi Gabbard (D) - CIA Must Stop Illegal, Counterproductive War to Overthrow Assad
CNN via YouTube ^ | Oct 21, 2015

Posted on 11/21/2016 1:01:17 PM PST by maggief

Published on Oct 21, 2015 Speaking with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, Tulsi explains why the US allying with Islamist extremists to overthrow Syrian President Assad is an illegal, counterproductive war that will cause even more human misery in the region and help ISIS and other Islamist extremists take over all of Syria. Instead of once again being distracted by trying to get rid of a secular dictator, Tulsi explains, the US must stay out of counter productive wars and focus on defeating the Islamist extremists who have declared war on America.

not sure really how liberal she is. I have only heard good things about her and respected how she went against the DNC.

'Cause she's hot.
She's right too but she's still hot.

She's right on one issue, but she's also a Bernie-bot. Being right about Syria doesn't make up for her being wrong on America.

I am fine with her being in the Defense department. We have a lot of strong people in most of those positions. But maybe she is a friend on the democrat side in congress.

I do NOT want to end our war with Islam. As I said, the war is endless. It has been ongoing for over 1,300 years. Only an ignorant fool would not recognize that fact.

Used to play golf with her brother a lot. Great family same up bringing as me except they leaned to the left even though I thought they were more conservative. I think as a politician in Hawaii you have to be a democrat to get elected.

A lot of these countries need a dictator to keep things in check.

People say this as if it is a completely bad thing. If the dictatorship isn't too outrageously oppressive, the resulting order is a good thing. The extremes of authoritarianism I'm thinking of are Singapore and Zimbabwe.

In the US, and in much of Europe, this wasn't necessary because there was enough common shared culture and belief, and the custom of at least honoring that shared part to mutual benefit. Unfortunately, due to Leftist influences, including Balkanization through immigration as well as political dialog, that common ground is shrinking. The center might not hold for long.

She's Hindu and a major in the Hawaiian National Guard. I'd imagine she's a Democrat since she'd have a snowball's chance in Hell running for office in Hawaii as a Republican. Interesting.

When you’re hot. Being right on one issue is good enough.

Been a while, but fairly sure I read that she is for banning "assault rifle" possession for civilians.

Her positions need a lot more clarification, she is a democrat.
