Consulting an ex-Obama official for foreign policy advice about Syria would be like asking a "sumo wrestler for diet advice," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on "Fox & Friends," Monday.

Remind me again why Obama (Nobel Peace Prize) attacked Libya, even after they had surrendered their nuclear and chemical weapons programs to the US, making them defenseless against a determined attack. Why there is any special calling for making war where there is no compelling need, from the US standpoint

For that matter, it would be like asking an African-born affirmative action success story who isn't remembered by supposedly fellow students what's in the Constitution. Nice job, Linda! Thanks chief lee runamok.

Consulting Graham about immigration policy is like consulting an amnesty loving Cheap Labor Express stooge.

Do we really want to give him a FOURTH chance to give away our country?

McCain, Graham, and Rubio were all supportive of the Libya adventure.

The facts about the situation have been more out in the open today. It's beginning to sound like I suspected. Our "friends" we paid for to overthrow Assad's real loyalty was/is with their own agenda.

When Graham's at his best, he's funny. His line about consulting the Obama administration frames beautifully the mess President Trump inherited in Syria.

His criticism was just a temporary lapse.

The kurds have a protection deal with Russia and Syria— agreed in the last day or so.

So— they aren’t “abandoned” by the very same “coalition” that was fighting to remove ISIS— the one that Trump actually ramped up, instead of obamaumao’s support of ISIS (which he, McCain and Hitlery ran guns to the so called “moderates” which were, in fact al qaeda in syria!). those 3 created ISIS— the bottom line, in order to gun run and profit themselves in doing this.

It was Erdogan who helped the Benghazi related gunrunning, along with his son— and both of them ALSO helped fence Iraqi oil stolen by ISIS in their own trucks to Turkey— to off load it, sell it and gave the cash (some %age natch) to ... ISIS, keeping them afloat for years and fully armed. Arms for oil— arms from MCCain obi wan kenyobi and hill—hill the huma hummer.

This recent action will contain the 10K plus ISIS (and find the700 who go out- and slaughter them), and keep things in stasis. Guaranteed the Turks will not want to face the russian syrian alliance, combined with economic US shutdown of Turkey. The goal is to get rid of Erdogan (and when he can’t pay any of his thugs— they will do just this).

The Kurds aided Ataturk in murdering a million Armenians— Kurds did this while stealing Armenian wealth. A majority part of the kurds (in Syria) are PKK and are Communists.

A balancing act is in place. The added threat of US backed Saudi Air Force and other elements— puts pressure on the Russian Syrian Alliance to stay out of it— and targets in yet another way— the one guy the new Saudi House despises— the self declaring “next Caliph” Erdogan— who is Toast.

Rumor has it Qadaffi had gold stashed away
Lots and lots of gold
Tons

Men have died for much much less
Especially when a Clinton was involved

Rumor has it check the world prices of gold after Qadaffi was murdered ( havent done that personally)

Probably because even I, who know little or nothing about the middle east morass, can see that if the Kurds can’t fight their own battles by now, there’s no use us wasting the lives of any more of our troops.

khadaffi had many years before, begun privatization in Libya- and moving away from the “green book” socialist islam he had been preaching. This was post Lockerbie Pan Am bombing which his peeps did, and also the US Army terror attacks in Germany. For which Reagan sent F-111 bombers that took out a good part of his family. He had been under control since that time AND... importantly abandoned his nuclear weapon program. Important part.

Privatization/investment included smelting Libyan gold stocks, for direct sale in coinage— not handled by London Exchange, and financing Libya in the privatization.

hitlery obamaumao and val-jar jar as good world socialist/globalists (communist/marxist to be exact) were not going to allow this to happen and Libya not be under european socialist control. So... they started the “Arab Spring”. taking out next door neighbor Tunisia’s president, then targeting Khadaffi and his remaining sons. France— wasn’t going to allow the sell off of its Elf -Aquitaine oil fields and wells-— so the Frenchie neo-socialist wealthy supported the obi-wan-kenyobi and hitlery’s gambit.

A gambit which included— gun running of MANPADS and other weapons to.... Turkey, and Erdogan aided the transfer to the Mcain contacts in the new... ISIS. The “moderates” who.... were alqaeda (Mccain knew what he was doing, btw- and they all banked larged dollars for this gun running. Money is in Qatar and in Indonesian numbered accounts).

So obi wan kenyobi and his commie/marxist pals came after the well controlled Khadaffi-— frankly to make billions and get a payoff to the French and the Brit world gold exchange run by.... (((rothschilds/Bank of England))) continuing to control their tight grip on world gold prices and transactions— for “stability” and all that.

Good riddance to McCain, and Graham is now free of the hold McCain had on him.
