In a particularly divisive interview Wednesday night on “Tucker Carlson Live,” conservative pundit and provocateur Ann Coulter shared her opinion on the escalating situation in Syria:
“It's very hard to explain the Syrian attack, it's certainly not a vital national security interest, we generally don't at least conservatives don't go rushing around the world for humanitarian reasons. For that region of the world, Assad is one of the better leaders, there are probably only one or two better than him.”
Coulter then claimed that the Syrian dictator wasn't quite “a Saddam Hussein murderous thug,” saying that Assad helped the U.S. after 9/11 by giving us relevant intelligence.
From there the conservative firebrand went on to lob some rather heavy words at the liberal media. When asked by Carlson why she thinks the enthusiasm to see the U.S. involved in a foreign war hasn't lessened in light of recent events, Coulter opined that “for the left, and therefore the media, I think it is identical to wanting to dump the entire third world on our country. They want to destroy America.”
According to Coulter, the “best Americans” are being sent off to war, and if we continue in that fashion it will “deplete this country.” Not only are the wars not beneficial to Americans, according to Coulter, but they aren't always in the best interest of the other parties involved, either.

So the gas attack thing is puzzling. The lack of on the ground evidence because it’s held by the rebels brings the whole thing into question.
I can’t help but wonder if the intelligence agencies, who have been working against Trump, have pulled a fast one and tricked Trump into a mistake.
The Christians in Syria would agree with you.
“This is geopolitical chess that Ann just cannot understand.”
I have to agree with you on this one. Maybe her boyfriend is rubbing off on her.
The Syrian rebels were no better than the ISIS crowd — and the US couldn’t tell the difference. We weren’t suppose to know that.
This is geopolitical chess that Ann just cannot understand.
Should could but would rather sell books to checkers playing Breitbart commentators.
