The hand-wringers are proven wrong once again...

[Bishop_Malachi]

We already have special forces in Syria training “Syrian rebels”....at least according to a news source that reported the thwarting that al-Quaeda suicide attack yesterday. Does that mean we’re not falling for McGrahamnesty’s call for 7,000 additional boots?

Simple Steps to Resolve Syrian/MiddleEastern Crisis:

1. Remove the brutal secular dictator.
2. Find a secular dictator with heart as his replacement.
3. Defeat religious extremists.
4. Create a safe zone.
5. Return the refugees.
6. Find out that the the secular dictator turns out heartless.

Rinse and repeat Step 1.

Again TMI

[PghBaldy]

This reminds me of Rex “April Glaspie” Tillerson’s comment mere days before “Assad” hurt the beautiful babies.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Good. We have no business clearing Assad out of the way for the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia so they can build their pipeline.

[gaijin]

Israel is the most modern and democratic country in the Middle East, but if they want Assad gone..?

Let them do it themselves.

[Artcore]

This is good news! Glad Trump came out directly and said this!

[Benno van Archimboldi]

But what about the children?

[Rebel2016]

Thank you! Mr. President

"....using sarin gas on his own people..."

Well that's a current talking point, but I'm not sure it's altogether true.

"his own people" is not well defined at all. Those who use it need to define it, especially for a region where clans rule.

Hussein used to frequently say "That's not who we are" but I think he was wrong most of the time.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I still think that it’s a good idea to form a short term alliance with Russia for the purpose of destroying ISIS in Iraq. Pound the crap out of ISIS and start driving them west right into the Russians then kill them all to the last man.

[SamAdams76]

Meanwhile, a group of ISIS fighters were annihilated by US forces in Syria over the past 24 hours.

[dragnet2]

Some folks didn’t get it. All Trump did was send a message right into their back yard.

[Pinkbell]

That’s good news, but he’s got to get his people on the same page. Haley sounds like she works for the Rubio Administration. Haley, McMaster, Mattis, Tillerson, etc. are giving different statements which confuses people.

[TTFX]

Thank God Ann Coulter and Michael Savage were able to turn Trump around on this.

[McGruff]

Well somebody should fire Niki Haley then.

[HChampagne]

I agree with Trump about staying out of the Shiite-Sunni conflict. But if he and the surrounding Sunni states could coalition together and form safe zones inside Syria, I would not be opposed to USA participating actively.
