If it won't spin, it don't get in.
LOL
Endless War. Quagmire. No blood for oil. Exit strategy. Who would Jesus Bomb? War is Not the Answer.
Exactly. Obama;s failed foriegn policy resulted in a half million deaths in Syria,. Crickets from our media.
Trump pulls 50 troops out and you would have thought he lost WWIII.
The Syrian army and Russians won’t take that many ISIS prisoners. They’ll just shoot them right after recapturing them.
YES!
Then it will be a happy ending :)
I’m surprised the Kurds didn’t whack them.
I figured our guys would have gladly turned a blind eye.
What’s that stuff called that was really scary in all the tv shows back in the day? Quicksand, that’s it. I always liked the name cause it’s not actually quick or sand. But It’s real. Some call it the middle east and we lost a good amount of good people there. Some call it a quagmire.
Take a victory.
What is it, that’s not exactly water and it ain’t exactly Earth!
Quicksand!
Dang, that was lucky. Darn near lost a $400 handcart.
Wire the main office. Tell them I said...
OW!!!!!
“Tell them I said: ‘OW!’”. Gotcha!
NYT - Filthy liars. May they burn for it.
Exactly...Another chess move by Trump...
Trump was given a very short warning that Turkey was going to attack...Trump had to get our troops out of the way so Syria could move forward...They and the U.S. are not about to share the battlefield...The Turk never anticipated this move...If he fights Syria, he'll also have to go up against Iran and Russia, Syria's allies...
And all while this is happening, even as it unfolds Americans are still attacking Trump...Of course that's normal for the liberals and Rinos...
The only calamity is the neocon war machine gravy train got derailed.
Really? Thanks for that educational post. I have not followed what has been done with the prisoners as much as I ought to. I was NOT aware that the countries involved refused to take the prisoners back. This is a no-win situation for us. What do they expect the U.S. to do? Stay over there guarding them for years/decades? We cannot do that. I’m hoping Trump figured that Turkey and the Kurds would end up killing them in the crossfire chaos.
Now there’s a real solution.
The President’s gut was correct.
I am not going to make that assumption. It might be true and I hope it is true, but I don’t want to tempt an Islamic leader with anything that has the word “bomb” in it.
I was just going to post the same from another FR thread. The Kurds got smart and did a deal Assad. Most importantly, Assad's Syria is almost a client state of Russia. There will be no Turkey invasion of Syria less they want to fight the Bear. The wild card is the Iranians.
I believe Pres. Trump figured this out and ignored his military advisors who can't think past their next star or career objectives. It's becoming increasingly clear that Trump is a strategic and long term thinker. Too bad the Mediots can't understand or refuse to believe what's happening before their own biased eyes.
That’s right. Read “The Defeat of Kurdistan Maoists”:
