I stopped reading right there. Oh the Hugemannity.
I stand with President Trump!
They won't, so they should shut up.
I didn’t know a president/CIC required a declaration of peace from Congress before withdrawing from a war/non-war.
Whatever side one comes down on the merits, no one can seriously dispute that the process was appallingly mishandled by this administration. The president should have sold his decision to congressional leaders, even Democrats, instead of leaving himself vulnerable on the eve of impeachment so unnecessarily.
Let us let Bishop Romney decide.
Bishop was RIGHT to impose ObamaCARE/ROmneyCARE (to help Bain)
and the Bishop Romney was RIGHT when he imposed his homosexual marriages
by fiat (and against the Mass. Constitution).
........... /s(is this really necessary?)
What used to be one or two key committee chairs getting money from black ops under the table must now be spread around like the rest of the Pentagon budget to ensure that Critters in every State gets a bit.
I stand with the Prez. Why waste our American Treasure getting killed, maimed and the Lord know what by these animals. They have been fighting for hundreds of years let them kill each other.
Let’s see... Events seem to indicate that Trump knew about Turkey’s plans and pulled our 50 troops out of harm’s way ahead of the invasion. Those 50 were never going to stop an invasion, but were in prime position to get killed for nothing.
Trump did the right thing.
Why did we have troops there in the first place? Why do we have troops scattered all over the world? Any use of the military for other than national defense and to provide humanitarian aid on a limited basis is misuse.
Remember when Congress got their panties in a wad when B.O.pulled the many troops out of Iraq? Me neither.
Moar dead and crippled American soldiers! Moar trillions in American treasure! Moar Islamic “refugees!” Moar, Moar, Moar!!
If Congress and the Deep State want war then declare it - or STFU!
Our congressional bums will fight tooth and nail for the safety of the Kurds in Syria, but the Angel Moms & decent citizens of sanctuary cities can go to hell thanks to illegal immigration. Our politicians, except Trump, are disgusting.
Which faction of the Kurds, the commie ones?
If Congress wants to warmonger, then declare war formally and allocate the funds.
I am not buying into this whole mess being about the Kurds, it is about pipelines and a suspect few middle eastern countries want to use the United States military as their mercenaries.
F’em.
In the 70’s, we might have taken in Kurdish refugees to resettle in the US as some kind of acknowledgement of our thanks for the dangers shared together. We took in Vietnamese and Cubans during that time.
Given the climate in today’s politics, that may not fly. And it wouldn’t take many bad apples to turn our sympathy into ashes. But of all the peoples I’ve read about, the Kurds seem the sort that would be most appreciative of the chance to be out of harm’s way, if they can’t secure their long-standing dream of an independent state of their own.
But on the whole, I think divesting ourselves from Syria while the getting is good to be a wise move.
Wack Erdogan = end of problem
We have been involved in that area for 30 years.
Nothing has changed.
Waste of time, effort, money and lives.
The United States was supposed to be in Syria for 30 days, that was many years ago. We stayed and got deeper and deeper into battle with no aim in sight. When I arrived in Washington, ISIS was running rampant in the area. We quickly defeated 100% of the ISIS Caliphate,.....
....including capturing thousands of ISIS fighters, mostly from Europe. But Europe did not want them back, they said you keep them USA! I said “NO, we did you a great favor and now you want us to hold them in U.S. prisons at tremendous cost. They are yours for trials.” They.....
.....again said “NO,” thinking, as usual, that the U.S. is always the “sucker,” on NATO, on Trade, on everything. The Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so. They have been fighting Turkey for decades. I held off this fight for....
....almost 3 years, but it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous Endless Wars, many of them tribal, and bring our soldiers home. WE WILL FIGHT WHERE IT IS TO OUR BENEFIT, AND ONLY FIGHT TO WIN. Turkey, Europe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and the Kurds will now have to.....
...figure the situation out, and what they want to do with the captured ISIS fighters in their “neighborhood.” They all hate ISIS, have been enemies for years. We are 7000 miles away and will crush ISIS again if they come anywhere near us!
