Clean up the 15 yr mess the last two administrations made - and stretched out with "Hearts & Minds"

This is how WAR is fought -

Maybe he will let the recon/jet box photos of their Holy Meteorite along with the expected fallout of repeated nuclear strikes deep within the muslem Caliphate, conveniently slip out of his briefcase.

You bet your Djibouti.

I like it. It's so refreshing and encouraging to see Trump administration officials flying out of D.C. in all directions to carry out his decisions. Jeff Sessions on the southern border, Rex Tillerson in Russia, now Mattis going to our allies in the middle east. Plus the air strike against the Syrian air base and the Great Big Bomb in eastern Afghanistan. Our enemies must be crouching under their desks (or in their caves) wondering where the next attack will be. What a glorious change after eight years of appeasement and covert encouragement of our enemies by the racist, anti-semitic, anti-American president.

YUP - we’ve all seen in painful detail how well being nice to savages works. This just makes it easier to bring down the hammer on these demons.

In fact, my several friends that died of cancer after working in “the pit” post 9/11 said, “Mark, don’t sweat it. Let bygones be bygones and make sure we stay allies with Saudi Arabia”

The most populous Christian nation; the most powerful nation in the world, with the entire planet to choose from, abandons its founding principles and the Constitution, accelerates a 5+ year CIA/SOF/ISIS destabilization/overthrow/assassination effort, bombing a no-threat Muslim sovereign nation bordering the Jewish nation.

The Rooskies knocked ISIS back, necessitating a “It’s for the children” FF/response, continuing the overthrow/jihadi replacement effort.

And what might be the Jihadi’s first order of business after being inserted into Syria?

Yeah, there is “lots to do.” It has been prophesied.

Those responsible will pay a Biblical price.
