Thanks to you who pushed me to question the information coming out of Syria...and helped me to find people to follower that are actually there in the war. It wasn't long ago that I had no idea who and what was happening there. Confusing many times but with your interest bouncing ideas back and forth really helped.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer claims “Democrats support border security”

Stephen Miller: “They voted against Kate’s law, they voted against ending sanctuary cities, they voted against deporting MS-13 gang members [and] violent criminals, they voted...against a physical border wall”

Stephen Miller explains why border security and a border wall is needed for “social and economic justice”

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “Let’s hope there isn’t a government shut down because the consequences will be significant”

Miller: “Let’s hope that Democrats fund border security”

Stephen Miller has to explain to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer how budgeting works: “In Washington budgeting, an offset is different than an allocation. So even though this trade savings offset the cost, Congress still has to allocate the funding.”

CNN claims that Wolf Blitzer is a “news anchor,” meaning he should report facts & ask questions

Blitzer instead does his best to act like a Democrat spokesmen, tells Miller: “Don’t shut down the government, continue the negotiations, try to come up with a reasonable compromise”

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asks Stephen Miller if “another month or two” of not getting border funding will “make much of a difference”

Miller: “It makes a difference to the people who get killed by illegal immigrants who are drinking & driving, or who get assaulted by gang members...”

All the liberals upset about Trump pulling out of Syria have a short memory.

It was a sunny morning on Saturday 31 August 2013 – Labor Day weekend in the US – when Barack Obama strolled into the Rose Garden of the White House. The last thing most Americans were thinking about was war in a far-off Middle Eastern country.

But Obama faced a dilemma. The decision he was about to announce would come to be seen as a defining moment for his presidency. It also marked a tipping point for the international strategic balance of power. It was a moment that would transform the civil war in Syria into the epic failure of our age.

One year earlier, Obama had vowed that any use of chemical weapons by Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s embattled president, would cross a “red line”, warranting direct military intervention. Ten days earlier, Assad had launched just such an attack, in eastern Ghouta, near Damascus. Sarin nerve gas dropped from the air killed more than 1,000 people, hundreds of them children.

Waiting reporters fully expected a declaration of imminent US action. But Obama blinked. He announced the US would not attack the Assad regime – not yet, anyway. Instead, he would first seek authorisation from Congress.

Obama’s decision surprised even his close advisers. It appeared to have been influenced by an unexpected vote in the House of Commons two days earlier, on 29 August, when David Cameron’s plan to order British forces to join allied military action in Syria was blocked by a narrow margin.

For a risk-averse president pledged to end America’s foreign wars, the reluctance of his foremost ally to repeat the Iraq mistake of 2003 and plunge headlong into another open-ended Middle East conflict was cautionary. Legally, Obama did not need Congress’s consent. But the British vote gave him a plausible fig-leaf.

In the ensuing debate, it became clear much of the American public opposed involvement in another Middle East war. Yet before the issue came to a head, there was another surprise. Russia, Assad’s ally, offered to remove the regime’s chemical weapons stockpile to prevent such outrages happening again. Fatefully, Obama agreed. In effect, he outsourced the war to Moscow.

But by deciding to hand off responsibility, Obama sent another damaging message: that the US, the world’s only superpower, and key allies such as Britain, were not prepared to fight for a free, democratic Syria, no more than they would fight for democracy in support of other Arab Spring revolts. They tried it in Libya in 2011 and quickly recoiled.

Stephen Miller: “The fundamental issue here is whether...Democrats will supply votes to pass border security or whether they’re going to push for open borders which equals massive crime &...costs. 300 Americans die every week from heroin that crosses through our southern border”

Stephen Miller: Trump is “heeding the wisdom of our founders who warned about entangling in foreign engagements.”

“Let’s defend our national security, let’s put America first, but let’s not spill America blood to fight the enemies of other countries as is the case in Syria.”

What stood out in that statement by McConnell...and has me even more happy over our President's decision in Syria was the........But I am particularly distressed that he is resigning due to sharp differences with the President on these and other key aspects of America's ....GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.

Mitch is looking like a NWO guy more each day but then we knew this already.

Great post Tweety...especially good one at 1296.

Well I certainly pray that you don’t electrocute yourself before you get to chapter 10. At what chapter do they start actually talking about keywords? 320?

I don’t know.

I’m not looking ahead because I want to savor each word like fine wine...

When I walk down the street people will point and say, in hushed tones, “That is pax, the Great Keyword Poster”.

Ah... is it too much to dream?....
