Pat Robertson ‘Appalled’ By Trump:(trunc)... May Lose ‘The Mandate of Heaven’ Over Syria
MediaIte ^ | October 7th, 2019 | By Ken Meyer

Televangelist Pat Robertson has joined the chorus of conservative critics lambasting President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. forces out of Northern Syria — endangering America’s Kurdish allies.

Trump was slammed by many of his usual defenders on Monday after the White House announced the U.S. will allow for a Turkish military operation in the war-torn region. Trump argued in a statement that Turkey will assume responsibility for all ISIS fighters captured in the region, many of whom were detained by Kurdish forces allied with America. The Turkish government views these Kurdish militias as terrorists — despite the U.S. supporting them in the fight against ISIS.

Trump shot back at his critics on Twitter by defending his position while promising that “if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey.”

Robertson said he was “absolutely appalled” by the announcement, warning that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a “thug” and a “dictator.”

Erdogan is a tyrant but the President is keeping another campaign promise to get out of endless war. Too bad the Taliban failed to take advantage by murdering again thinking it would help make a better deal.

The Kurds may have merited a more phased withdrawal, with conditions imposed on the Turks; but Robertson has no Biblical anointing to give the Kurds the status of God’s messengers. The same people who were false flagging Assad are going all out for the Kurds. Actually, both sides of this dispute are guilty of exaggeration.

Trump serves the interests of the the USA with a mandate from the American People, not Pat Robertson, or even “heaven”.

Remember when God told Robertson that Romney would win in 2012, and be a 2 term president? Or that Jay Rockefeller would win in 96? Or Russia would invade Israel ‘82, then again in 07? Just a few of many times Robertson claimed God “talks to him”. Amazing that Pat Robertson’s god is always wrong.

Well, I have advice for Pat, or anyone who talks to God: You can talk to God all you want, that’s fine and healthy. But, if he starts talking back to you, see a psychiatrist. Immediately.

Great, just what we need, another self-anointed jerkoff with delusions of holding God’s proxy vote.

Could someone please explain to me the difference between evangelists wanting to kill off all Muslims and Muslims wanting to kill off all evangelists?

I am having trouble understanding the logical difference.

Syria is the clusterf*ck of Obama,Clinton and McCain. I feel bad for the Kurds and understand the situation is very complex but it’s time to end the Obama era policy. These fidiots and chicken sh*thawks are asinine.

If Americans don’t keep dying in useless eternal foreign wars, a 900 foot Jesus is going to take Pat home.

Let’s all have an Oral argument.

Obama, Hillary and McCain put us into Syria

Did that give them the “Mandate of Heaven” according to Pat Robertson?
