Ever since Viet Nam the media has had their panties in a twist anytime the US took any millitary action. Now suddenly it is the end of the world with Trump withdrawing some uniformed personnel from the middle of what looks like a big battle.

Looks like things are sorting out quite nicely.

Looks like we don’t need to spend any more blood and treasure there.

Why don’t you clowns worry about America for once instead of your next election, and anything else, in that order.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.
— Dwight Eisenhower, Jan 17, 1961.

The voters should deliver a stinging rebuke to Flamesey Grahamnesty for his THREE amnesty votes and not give him a FOURTH chance to give the Democrats a permanent majority and our country to illegal aliens.

Our entire government on both sides of the aisle needs to be deloused.

As a vet that served for 26 years I side with President Trump on this issue. The hyperventilating by The Swamp dwellers is telling as it is coming from both sides of the aisle.

The Neocons that want perpetual war and the dems that are just piling on because it’s President Trump.

The Kurds were not fighting with us for free and for altruistic reasons. They were being paid handsomely for their work. They were essentially mercenary contractors. Well, that contract has expired. Thanks guys! See ya!

“We got to do our part in the Senate in order to hold Turkey accountable,” she added.


Congress last declared war in 1941

If it’s important, maybe that’s what needs to happen.

Maybe, they should focus a little closer to home. Americans don’t really care about Turkey, or anything 7000 miles away, insofar they see their own institutions crumbling to dust around them.

For that matter, When did congress last pass a budget? Sometime in the 1990s? All they see today is a near constant litany of pervasive, systemic and insidious corruption by once trusted agencies, and concommitent coverup by the news organs. Those with more uncharitable moments of lucidity will tend to think these 30 day deployments that last 10 years, there must be something more to it.

Another successful effort by President Trump to root out and expose perfidious warmongers from both parties.

The Republican senate will give Trump what he already threatened — sanctions that will break the economy of Turkey if they don’t leave off. And the Media — being anti-Trump & all — will support the Republican’s in giving Trump his sanctions. Jeeze, it’s brilliant!

Did I miss something? Even given a politicians penchant for talking out both sides of their mouth at once,aren’t they giving President Trump what he wants? Sanctions against Turkey?

“lawmakers, furious over Trump’s decision to withdraw troops”

Then declare war already.

Republicans complained when Obama got us in to Syria. Now they are complaining because Trump got us out?

Fire them all. Send the entire Congress packing. Feckless nabobs to the last one of them... No exceptions.
