Hillary Clinton Email, 2001:

“The best way to help Israel deal with Iran’s growing nuclear capability is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad.”

Pure drivel here.

Pissing away thousands of lives and trillions of dollars in military campaigns halfway around the world while maintaining an open-borders policy here in the U.S. only makes sense to globalists who have no intention of protecting U.S. interests at all.

A thing that Lefrists can’t stand is America winning a war, and especially when a Republican president wins a war.

President Trump won the Syrian War and America is safer.

Syria is in a Civil War.

Assad Government vs. ISIS/Syrian ‘rebel’ Islamic terrorists.

Why do you want to side with the Islamic terrorists?

Does America win wars when thousands die and the treasury is depleted?

____________________________

Four possibilities:

1. Bomb Syria AND Protect our borders

2. Bomb Syria, neglect our borders.

3. Don’t bomb Syria, Protect our borders

4. Don’t bomb Syria, neglect our borders.

Which is the right policy?

...we need a foreign policy similar to the “butcher and bolt” policy of the British Empire...

The British Empire that resides on the scrap heap of history?

The Trump Doctrine in Syria has won the War and kept America safe.

Democrats fight wars so they can be lost, President Trump just fought a war and it was won.

“We may not have chosen this role, we may not like or want the job, but history so far has left the U.S. as the only great power with the military capacity for keeping order”

Screw that.

No, we do not have such a capacity, we do not desire it, and if the “world” is “growing closer” we should do all in our power to reverse the process.

It is an absolute certainty that the procreants of the 1930’s style Republican Isolationists are alive and well today and still spewing their Isolationist clap trap.

Are missiles free? And Thornton is advocating a policy where the attack the other day is just the begining, not the end.

America wins when our President wins wars and saves thousands of American lives by stopping Chemical Gas Attacks (WMD) on American soil.

Let's start with the easiest first step:

Anyone in government who advocates #2 or #4 should be stripped of any responsibilities and then deported to the South Pole.

Well, sure. That’s a great excuse for intervening everywhere. Just like when the US toppled Gaddafi. We gotta get rid of an evil dictator, one who had threatened America in the past.

Unfortunately, no one back in 2011 considered the Law of Unintended Consequences. And that Law is still in effect.

It is also an absolute certainty that radical Sunni Muslims in the Middle East have more influence over U.S. foreign policy than American voters.

RE: Are missiles free?

So please don’t mention thousands dying. This is not relevant in the latest operation.

No, missiles are not free, but we have to weigh the cost of allowing Chemical Weapons to continue being manufactured vs. not doing anything and allowing the manufacturing to continue.

The open questions for me are these —

WERE CHEMICAL WEAPONS REALLY USED ?

IF SO, WHO USED IT? ASSAD OR SOME OTHER GROUP?
