“...deep in my heart I do not give a damn about Syria or any of those other Godforsaken shitholes.
And that’s exactly where most Americans are, I’d wager.”
I’ll go even farther than you. Most, a huge majority of Americans don’t just “not give a damn” about the shit holes of the world, we don’t even give them a thought.
I am reminded of the hooting and hollering over Colin Powell and Condoleza Rice back when.
Many folks are only solid on one or a few issues.
When the dynamics are a bit more challenging, they fold.
I understand where they are coming from, but they simply out themselves for not being able to understand the full picture.
That’s my thought on Crenshaw here.
Wow, 28 troops create vacuums when they pull out. Their gravity must be massive.
Might have been an ok sailor. But as a politician, he is just another shady globalist un-American A-hole.
I have slowly come to realize I seem to share your opinion of Crenshaw. Disappointing. We have enough of those. Please just make it stop!
That was my thought. Instead of planning and posturing, it was a situation to solve it now. The threat? The nutty US Congress might havedecided that they love war and send the whole US military in there.
I see no “conservative”. He was against the travel ban from terror countries. He was against the wall. he was a never Trumper. He couldn’t wait to run to SNL and hug it out with the liberals.
He’s a tool.
Oh, I forgot, he’s a holy SEAL and obviously knowing how to shoot an AR means he is an expert on foreign policy. /s
Just another of the current crop of left-tard military men like Mattis, Hayden, Petrayus, McChrystol, McRaven, Buttigig, etc.
Why will no repubs support Trump? Crenshaw has some expertise in the area. Fine. Communicate your opinion privately to the White House rather than fire shots.
I popped off when I first heard about the pull out - but I’m a nobody on a forum. And turns out, based on news reports, Trump was right and I was wrong. heh.
Stupid move Dan.
Complete idiocy to side with the DC Swamp. Syria been a Russian Client state since the 1950s. it was never about Isis, it was about Regime Change. You, of all people, should understand why that is a very bad idea.
A common ignorance based opinion brough to you by the same DC Swamp morons, Democrat and Republican, that in fall 2015 tried to get the USA involved in a shoot war with Russia over a Russian client state Syria.
Agreed.
I want Dan to define VICTORY for me.
When do we know we have WON? That is victory.
How many more years and how many more trillions will it take to WIN?
Dan?
So how many of our kids do we lose and how many do we mame because we made a deal with the Kurdish militia to fight side by side? We paid the Kurds for their support and they had no other alternatives even if we didn’t. if someone offered them a better deal they would have jumped at it. Did we promise to protect their borders from Turkey until the end of eternity? I don’t think so. We should get out of civil wars unless we have overwhelming strategic interests. Now that we are oil independent screw the entire Middle East. If you want to continue, send your own sons and daughters: don’t send mine.
mame=maim
Crenshaw doesn’t see things like a real conservative would.
I’ve listened to him enough to know I don’t want to listen to him anymore.
Is that what Shep is calling himself now?
According to Crenshaw’s “logic”, our GIs should “occupy” wherever we see “chaos” erupt.
Does he mean: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle?
If not, why not?
What a load of crap .
We had 50 people there .
What is this TV camera hog’s agenda
