“We want to have protection in the Middle East, we’re going to be sending a relatively small number of troops, mostly protective,” he said. “Some very talented people are going to the Middle East right now and we’ll see what happens.”

1500 isn’t many. Not sure what the point is.

It’s too many to get killed.
Not enough to do much good.

Probably victims for a false flag so we can go to war with Iran.

Folks, lets be honest with ourselves.

We pissed and moaned when Obama give tons of money and a green light to Iran’s nuclear arms and missiles plans. Trump will probably have to clean up the mess on isle six.

Do we really want him to pull the Clinton, Bush, Obama routine with North Korea, on Iran?

Better sooner than later > IMO.

Once these guys actually have nukes and missiles, it’s too late to neutralize them. We have to man up now.

Trump apparently cares more about foreign countries borders more than our own.

“Ears, and eyes.”

I think you are correct. Probably to gather intelligence from the locals. Also in support roles. I have information on some of this.

And the ACLU will be suing him when?

Or Judge Gillam will be ruling against this on what day?

Imagine if he said he was sending 1500 combat troops to the Mexican border....the screaming would be endless

But to a place 13000 miles away, that has almost nothing to do with us?

Let the damn Saudis deal with their own problems. They got the jets, don’t need us.

Bears repeating.

That retarded baboon George W. Bush was a colossal disaster for this country. By the time we got to 2006 we had thousands of U.S. servicemen injured and killed in an Islamic sh!t-hole, and the president and Congress falling all over themselves to let Mexicans pour across our borders.

I'm sure President Trump knows exactly where he stands here.

They are all attached to the Patriot Missile bstteries, totally defensive. But it sounds better in the hysterical media.

No! I am not for going into another war with one arm tied behind our backs. That seems to be the only war we know how to fight anymore. Unless we are willing to go in there and kill all threats without rules of engagement, it's not worth our blood or treasure.

Virtually no movements made in the media are forthright.

Iran would be a very unpopular war right now. There is no support for it.

So we just kick the can on down the road like Clinton, Bush, and Obama?

Nah, I know you folks don’t want to sign on to that.

You guys carry this non-engagement thing too far.

This is a real world class threat.
