With Mattis out of the way, suddenly the agenda has momentum.

Sounds like we are preparing for a massive deployment along the US-Mexico border.

About time.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Asap. It’s time to end our (heavy) participation in all these
wars that seem to have no end.
I used to feel the exact opposite.
During both Bush administrations.

Just implement a total travel ban into the USA for anyone from Af-Pak.

Terror problem solved. They can then do what they like

IMO, we still don’t know the real story of what happened to Osama Bin Laden. We don’t know when or where it is presumed that he met his demise.
But what can you do when both sides participate in the cover up for their own reasons?

If there is some deep minded strategic thinking about deploying to these wastelands it’s time the deep state reveals it.

The pull out from Syria will cause the Kurds to be genocided. Leaving Syria will allow the evil Forces to win.
