I don’t like the US fighting Turkey’s battles for it, much as I admire and sympathize with the Kurds. On the other hand, the US is responsible for much of the ISIS armory, thru captured Iraqi weapons (the ineptness of the Iraqi army is a US strategic scandal), as well as intermittent suppression of Assad, the only (God, I hate to say this) source of merely partially-insane order in the region.
Didn’t Patton say something about paying for the same ground twice?
I understand the concept that if we broke it, we own it, but it was in good shape when we gave it back.
If we have to go back, we should plan on keeping it all, including what’s underneath it.
Most Freepers were saying 2 years ago that Assad was the least-bad choice among many bad choices.
I have yet to understand Obama’s interest in trying to topple him. Same as my, to this day, my puzzlement over the absolute chaos and danger he and Hillary created in Libya.
