Trump has exaggerated his supposed opposition to OIF. PolitiFact:
Again, Trump said he was against the war from the very beginning.
"I'm the only one on this stage that said, 'Do not go into Iraq. Do not attack Iraq,' " Trump said. "Nobody else on this stage said that. And I said it loud and strong. And I was in the private sector. I wasn't a politician, fortunately. But I said it, and I said it loud and clear, 'You'll destabilize the Middle East.' "
Trump often repeats this line, and we've rated a similar Trump claim Mostly False, because he didn't appear to take any public position on the war until after the March 2003 invasion. In this more recent version of the statement, he also said he stated his opposition to the war "loud and clear." But the public record of his positions is thin.
Trump's public opposition to OIF only seems to have started in 2004. Before that, would a President Trump have "lied us into war"?

OH.. forgot to mention, all should read, “the House of Saud”... no matter what political beliefs we have, there is lots of history written there.. (it has history of Saudi before it was a country.. and Syria... but will never match the Bible :-))
The writer, of course, was not Christian.
I didn’t see the part where it was proven that it wasn’t Assad... but I already knew that it it was a red flag to blame him... some of these things are too darn obvious...
Assad himself (his father) protected the Christians in the area for generations... something that most will never know, want to know, or see (ever) in the history...

Indeed and I remember back then that 999 out of 1000 posters on this site agreed that saddam had wmds.

We're directly supplying Al Quada remember the Toyota trucks ISIS has? US tax payers paid for them then a large number of Al Quada went over to ISIS.
It's never been more clear of good vs evil and we're clearly on the side of evil. Simply amazing.

Yeah, I’ve been observing that.. It’s scary how far the US govt. has moved in that direction. Do you think that we will every repair the damage (and regain the allies) that has been done?
About 40 years ago we wouldn't allow them in today we don't even check. It was very simple. We required the pledge of allegiance to the constitution. Islam is a theocracy it would be a lie for the fundamentalist to enter. Which which we could use that against them to revoke their citizenship when they lie.
