Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) added her name to the long list of lawmakers to publicly oppose President Trump's decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria. She minced no words during her appearance on "Face the Nation" over the weekend.
"I am deeply, deeply concerned, and I oppose strongly the president's decision apparently to withdraw troops from Syria, the apparent decision that we're now going to be looking to withdraw troops from Afghanistan," Cheney said. "I think the president has done a lot of very good things in terms of beginning to rebuild our military, getting out of the Iranian nuclear agreement, but these two decisions would be disastrous. They would really in many ways hand victories to our enemies, to Iran, to ISIS in Syria, the Taliban, Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. It's a very dangerous path to go down, and we shouldn't be going down it. We need to make sure that we keep our troops there in order to prevent the establishment of safe havens for those groups that want to attack us."

Destroy Afhganistan’s Poppy fields. That will put a crimp in their finances to buy war materiels.
Syria border with Israel is heavily defended since ‘73 war.
Its unlikely Israel has much to worry about
“You know — pull out, put back in — the same stuff Dick used to do with you.”
Not cool.
Yep - but I believe that if Dick had had his way, we would have beat the crap out of them and been able to leave them to filling in the smoking craters left behind - with a lot less manpower to do the digging...the craters would have made nice mass graves for a LOT of terrorist types...
Send your children to war you bitch.
I like Liz better when she’s played by Lily Rabe.
And yet when Mike Enzi (R-WY) voted the right way 95% of the time, the Liz Cheney fanclub on FR claimed he was dirty filthy worthless RINO scum and "has to go", so Liz Cheney should primary him and purge his butt from the Senate.
Hypocrisy, much?
I agree! Anyone voting 95% in line with their party’s president isn’t global this or global term of the week that. We have some around here that believes if you are not full blown sheeple 100% you are an anti Trumper. It’s utterly ridiculous how much folks bloviate paying KO attention to voting records but because thy merely utter it, it’s therefore true.
Meh. Lily Rabe isn’t that attractive to me. Her late mother, Jill Clayburgh, was better looking.
Only thing I’ve seen her in, I think, is Semi-Tough.
Looks up “La Luna”, blames DJ.
Never seen “La Luna.” I saw the description with Clayburgh’s character’s son speculating about his parentage with the father being Fred “Herman Munster/What’s a Yoot” Gwynne. I don’t think that’s going to be a mystery.
Try watching her in “Silver Streak” with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Much better.
