I know very little about Flynn, but if he was kicked out of the military for irking Obama, he’s got to be a good, qualified man.

Three outstanding picks! More winning!

He wrote on open letter to all of the intel agencies before he left. he’s a serious guy, so much so that they sicced CNN on him!

[AU72]

He co-authored a book with Michael Ledeen who says Iran has been at war with us since 1979 and we haven’t been at war with them.

This exactly how thought Trump would approach his job. I don’t suppose Trump has ever had a job in the traditional sense.

All this good news is getting disgusting. I imagine the Hillary/Obama supporters feel like I did for the last 8 years.

Flynn registered Demoncrat. RATs will have to turn into pretzels to hammer him.

An they still don't get it. They are still mixing their hopes with DJTrumps words:

"There’s been hope that despite what candidate Trump said on the trail that he was going to as president surround himself with folks that were more tempered in their views," the former official said,...

Wish Trump would check in on all the ones who Obama kicked out. Ham, Gaouette and Lakin to start.

Beware of Flynn’s support for Erdogan in Turkey. The man who said “democracy is like a train, once you get where you are going you get off.” Erdogan is an Islamist and is playing a dangerous game in Syria. He allowed Sunni/ISIS terrorists to cross into Syria in order to take out Assad with plans to partner with us later to crush ISIS. He is not against jihad, he just wants to be the head of a new Caliphate based in Turkey.

I find Flynn’s support and lobbying for Turkey to be troubling. I don’t know about his other views. The US should not get in bed with Erdogan.

[Russ]

I don’t know anything about Flynn except the left is bashing the appointment. Therefore, it must be a good one.

[TexasCruzin]

Disgusting? None of this news is disgusting to me. I couldn’t be happier.

forgot /s/

[MagnoliaB]

I’m good with it.

[Mollypitcher1]

Haven’t read the book, but he is correct.

[TornadoAlley3]

Dems are still fools. Every Trump pick is called racist, homophobic, sexist. Keep it up Dems/media!

[Obbiee]

Turkey wants a return of the Ottoman Empire under Erdogan. Russia wants
a return to Tsarist Imperial Russia. Iran wants to expand from Yemen to Syria. Of all I am convinced Erdogan will prove to be the most ruthless.

[codder too]

The disposition/ extradition of Gulen, who resides in exile in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, and HIS 150 Charter Schools in the U S, will be of interest.

Erdogan has been demanding that Gulenists schools in Chad and other countries, be taken back under his control. Will he demand that same control of the FETO Charters in the U S?

[FamiliarFace]

Thanks. I respect Flynn very much, and hope he is the right guy for the job.
