Trump thinking about making Pompeo national security adviser, shipping McMaster to Afghanistan
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 2, 2017 | Daniel Chaitin

President Trump is looking at shifting CIA Director Mike Pompeo to the White House as national security adviser, according to a report Wednesday evening.

The move would bump H.R. McMaster, the current national security adviser. McMaster, a three-star Army general, would in turn be sent to Afghanistan to command U.S. forces in that country, the New York Times reported, citing several unnamed administration officials. The move could help McMaster earn his fourth star.....

Many folks here want LTG McMaster replaced as head of the National Security Council. I wonder who those folks want to see in the job and why?

I have zero problem with him as a soldier. By all accounts, he was fine. He might be a fine father, husband or son or neighbor.

I think he is a dirty dog, and a no good bum when it comes to -setting- national policy. He is just fine for executing the policy that sane people set for him.

Some people are like that.

You make it sound petty. Like Bannon is just after him. McMaster is the polar opposite of every position Trump took. Trump wanted us out of Afghanistan, speaking of 7 trillion down a rathole when America has much better uses for it at home. He saw no reason for us to depose Assad. He was not a friend to NATO and the EU calling them freeloaders. He wanted a better relationship with the Russians and not this deepening neocon cold war. Trump was very pro-Israel. He wanted America first including a wall. Trump did not see islam as a positive thing. He wanted Hillary investigated and prosecuted and the swamp drained.

McMaster is the polar opposite of every single policy. He wants a deeper war in Afghanistan. He wants Syria widened, Assad taken out, and wants direct confrontations with Russia. He loves NATO and the EU and reassures them. He attended Bilderburg, (LITERALLY started by a former SS man) He thinks islam is just fine and that the jihadis are twisting the wonderful Islamic culture. He sees no reason for them not to come here. In the old Marine Corps, that was known as “going Asiatic”. (An example would be someone around DC too long who begins to think and act as though that culture was decent or normal in any way...”gone Asiatic”) He has defended Susan Rice and hired her assistant to stay on with him. He hasn’t cleaned house in any way except to flush anyone who expresses support for Trumps campaign stated goals.

This isn’t just mean ol’ Bannon picking on him. McMaster has earned this scorn.

I want him replaced with someone who is on board with Trumps clearly articulated agenda. I do not want a McMaster who is another Bush/Obama neocon clone.

He’d write a tell all book and the Pentagon would give him carte blanche because it’s still run by Obama hold-ivers and fake Trump supporters. Which is to say fake Patriots.

How can McMaster fight Islamic terrorists when he thinks Islam is peaceful and that Al Queda, ISIS and the Taliban have “perverted” (his words) Islam?

Odd how ‘Russia interfered’ with the election is never spelled out by the liberal press. Corrupt press boys at the Washington Post and MSNBC want to imply that votes were changed... which DID NOT happen.

The truth of "Russia Russia Russia' is negative information was ‘leaked’ about democrats. All of it was proved true... none of it was a lie. The 'outrage' was that usually democrats are protected by a corrupt press working with an equally corrupt ‘ intelligence services’.

The whole uproar is truthful leaks about the liberal anointed ones...

Trump deals with more leaks from our corrupt ‘intelligecne’ service in the average week than came out from ‘the Russians’... if it was them.

We might never know for sure because intelligent people don't trust the corrupt people in our government and their liar enablers in the press.

I suspect they’ve had Bernie’s number since his old Trotskyite days in Chicago 1964...

This could just more hit pieces from bannon since mcmaster took out three of his guys

Consider that McCain recommended McMaster. Personally, I agree with Trump's decision not to fund terrorists in Syria, and I would not trust McMaster to keep us out of a war there. Is McMaster removing the right people in the NSA, or is he removing Trump supporters?

NOW, that's scary. Even worse than if Lindsey Graham made the recommendation... The Cheap Labor Express rides again...

“When Sanders was mayor, Burlington formed an alliance with another city – in the Soviet Union. When Sanders traveled to Yaroslavl, 160 miles north-east of Moscow, in 1988, the trip doubled as a honeymoon with his new wife, Jane. Not much survived in terms of paperwork from that trip, although the mayoral archives do contain a tape recording of Sanders interviewing Yaroslavl’s mayor on a boat somewhere on the Volga river.”

Nothing like being at ground zero at the front for America’s longest war.

Get him a horse to roam the hills.

Wow these people are the gift that keeps on giving...
My sides hurt from laughing for about 1 year straight now.

I wish we could just wipe the mat with these spineless traitors.
