(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.

She is, and that’s where she loses me. Otherwise, she’s something almosy resembling a sensible Democrat, but I can’t get past her anti-2a views.

Understood.

She got this part somewhat right at least.

It is Obama’s war, after Obama and Hillary’s war in Libya.

And the GOP Congress let him continue it. The GOP will always be worse, because they never hold anyone accountable or reign in Executive powers.

I have to wonder if that gold went to Fort Knox to replace the gold that is missing there.

That is a very good idea, Redcitizen.

Clinton would not allow an audit of the gold that was ‘supposed’ to be stored in Fort Knox.

Why did Obama want to overthrow Gadaffi and Hassad?

Simple.Muslim demographic conquest of whitish Europe.

Obama wanted to have millions of Muslim refugees streaming into Europe through a land route, into Russia.

Putin saw Obama coming, seized the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine to keep the Obama-created, Arab Spring Muslim diaspora out ,and stopped Obama dead at Aleppo.

Very simple.

Now with the help of Iran,Putin will make the Saudis pay; they backed Obama. Big League Pay.They will pay for the resettlement of all those refugees or watch them die, or alternatively Mecca will fall to the Shia and Iran, just as Ieaq already has, because Obama purposefully abandoned Iraq.

Obama also has funnelled billions of dollars to Iran to try and woo her away from Russia, but NO WAY!The Imams of Iran were not biting.Soon Iran will have nukes and Saudi will not.

Meanwhile Western Europe is overrun with Obama’s Muslim diaspora, in a paroxysm of demographic warfare. Donald Trump will stop that from happening to the USA. Western Europe may be lost, either to a conquering Russia, or to
Muslim demographic conquest, unless they wise up and abandon their socialist, liberal fascist , utopian social adventures, in favor of protyectimng their native citizens.
Briatain has partially understood this fact ( Brexit).

AFAIK her family is conservative, at least her father. IMHO her liberal stuff may evolve as she gets a little older.

That just about cover it. No one is saying the obvious. The shia army in Iraq is wiping out the sunni ISIS - and when the dust settles, Iran will own Iraq. It’s going to be a whole new ball-game for the Saudi ‘royal’ family of perfumed princes and their diamond studded, gold plated European motor-vehicles, their white concubines. I hope to see their hundreds of thousands of airconditioned tents at Mecca filled with ‘refugees’ from surrounding hell holes from which the people are fleeing, fleeing from islam, fleeing from sharia. The great shia/sunni split is widening as we speak, and all the forced conversions to sunni islam in Africa will melt away...the muslim brotherhood will end up where it came from; the desert, and the Bedouin will speak of their ‘golden age’ as a legend, while they drink their camel urine and wash their hair in it.
One parasite will shrink while the other prospers. And come the day the Persians return to reclaim their heritage, The Great Underground River Project Gaddafi put into place in Libya will extend, as he planned, throughout the region and we shall see the sands of the cursed middle east watered and abundant, and islam, no longer the tool of wicked theologians, shrivel and shrink as it deserves, and live on in memory as a nightmare visited upon mankind, but ultimately defeated, as was the black plague.

I can dream...

Tulsi is really a good gal on any number of issues.

I think she is rational at heart and Conservative/Republican in her ideals.

(I copied this from some website and closed the window, before I could give proper attribution)

In fact, Rep. Gabbard has declined to co-sponsor any common sense gun control legislation, including H.R.4269— the Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 — which is co-sponsored by 125 of Gabbard’s fellow Democrats. Here are the other nine gun bills that Gabbard has NOT supported:

H.R.4748—Imported Assault Weapons Ban of 2016

H.R.3926 — Gun Violence Research Act

H.R.3411 — Fix Gun Checks Act of 2015

H.R.2380 — Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2015

H.R.1745 — Support Assault Firearms Elimination and Reduction for our Streets Act

H.R.752 — Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act

H.R.226 — Keeping Guns from High Risk Individuals Act

H.R.225 — Firearm Safety Act of 2015

H.R.224 — To require the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service to submit to Congress an annual report on the effects of gun violence on public health.

Really?

I took that pic from a website giving her background and all kinds of pictures.

That is Tulsi Gabbard

He couldn’t pick her. She is a registered Dem, though I think she is a pragmatist and conservative at her core.

I am somewhat familiar with her father’s work over the years, used to subscribe to a newsletter he put out in the 80s. Very conservative. I am sure her progressive social views will evolve over time.

You mean “evolve” to supporting Bernout the socialist/communist?

I don’t support any candidate on the hope that they will change to agree with my views.

Hillary was raised by “Goldwater Republicans,” so the fact that her father was conservative is irrelevant.
