Or maybe he’s simply a convert like Brennan. We don’t really know.

But I agree with you re: Islam—it was outrageous when Trump named him to run the NSC and the outrageousness about it was only ratcheted up this week.

God save us.

I’ve got this plan to stop the water from the rising river from coming into my property and home from the west. But, the water’s rising and headed toward my house from the east. I’m not changing my plan, no matter what! (sarcastic enough for you?)

Trump is merely posturing.

And what if his posturing does not work?

Trump has a US Navy and Air Force worn out by the cyclic destructive grinding ineffective rules of engagement of Barrack Obama.

The US Navy is asleep colliding its ships run by Obama appointees after purging the command of our forces of real fighters. The US Marines are crashing their own aircraft in record numbers, Obama has starved them, yet nothing is being done.

What will our soldiers fight with, pitch forks? Get our people out and B-52 Helmund province. And make regular B-52 mail “ deliveries sporadically.” Who cares about Afghanistan and the Taliban? Let them do their worst to Russia and the Liberal Fascist “Democracies” of Europe.No more US blood unless you draft the entire team of the kneed up Cleveland Browns and the rest of the field hands in America.

I sincerely wish that ISIS and the Taliban could be knocked out, but the islam disease is not isolated to Afghanistan. You could kill ever last Afghani today and you would still have to deal with murderers being bred is Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, the Saudi peninsula countries, North Africa and the hundreds of thousands now populating Europe and North America. Until the average muslim comes to believe that the Koran is wrong and unequivocally repudiates the call to jihad, then nothing will change no matter how many bombs are dropped in one country. The fact that islamic hatred is still strong after 1400 years proves to me it will be still the enemy of civilization long after me, you and Trump are gone.

Thinking about this move it may have nothing to do with what we are being publicly being told....

In other words it’s not really about terrorist. It is so that the United States has a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan for Iran and China.

Technically speaking we pretty much have China surrounded.

Ditto Iran.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you aren’t exactly right.

They don’t have a headquarters. They are vermin who live in caves. The U.S. couldn’t dislodge them with 100,000 troops and support from allies. Increasing the current commitment to 15,000 will do almost nothing.

I’m sure you believe the only thing we can remove is confederate statues. I trust Trump on this.

Thank you for addressing this retreads absurd, immature straw man question. Spot on!

Your comparison to WWII and the Axis is perfect. We did NOT kill every Nazi - or evil opponent, but we fought off or killed enough of them to win the war and teach the ones who escaped death/capture a lesson and to force retreat.

Tha IS defeat!

Some of these posters/retreads/unbanned, etc, NeverTrumper’s spew the exact same talking points as the lefties...using the same straw man tactics.

It’s as though they’ve been laying low in the grass, awaiting their opportunity to slink back in and bash PDJT, again.

I did a Google search for "Trump promises to bring troops home from Afghanistan", and you know what? I couldn't find a damn match. The only results that came up were about Obama breaking his campaign promise to bring the troops home, and end the war in Afghanistan. I think all the cry babies on this thread need to get their heads on straight. The man may have said we made a mistake going into Afghanistan, but he never promised to bring the troops home.

Here's another quote from Trump, the Presidential candidate:

CNN's "New Day" on Oct. 6, 2015: "We made a terrible mistake getting involved there in the first place. We had real brilliant thinkers that didn't know what the hell they were doing. And it's a mess. It's a mess. And at this point, you probably have to (stay) because that thing will collapse about two seconds after they leave. Just as I said that Iraq was going to collapse after we leave."

Sorry if you don't like what our President plans to do, but that's the way it is...so handle it.

"Withdrawal was a campaign promise, are you blind? "

No, that was an Obama promise, which he broke. Try doing a search for "Trump promises to bring troops home from Afghanistan" like I did, and see what comes up.

"And did you notice? Last night Trump obeyed McMaster by not once referring to radical Islamic terrorism."

Did you take the term "radical Islamic terrorism," and the fact it was missing from his speech off the NPR site, because that's where I found that exact term, and basically the same comment you made about its not being in his speech.

OK I guess you never listen to Trumps rally, I heard them all and supported Trump from day one.
