(Rep.) Tulsi Gabbard (D) - CIA Must Stop Illegal, Counterproductive War to Overthrow Assad
CNN via YouTube ^ | Oct 21, 2015

Posted on 11/21/2016 1:01:17 PM PST by maggief

Published on Oct 21, 2015 Speaking with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, Tulsi explains why the US allying with Islamist extremists to overthrow Syrian President Assad is an illegal, counterproductive war that will cause even more human misery in the region and help ISIS and other Islamist extremists take over all of Syria. Instead of once again being distracted by trying to get rid of a secular dictator, Tulsi explains, the US must stay out of counter productive wars and focus on defeating the Islamist extremists who have declared war on America.

I’m always puzzled at the notion of an “illegal war”.
The whole point of war is to impose upon another outside of law.

I for one would love, love to see Tulsi Gabbard in the Trump Administration. Yes, she’s a liberal Democrat, but on the existential questions that really matter, i.e. the war against radical Islam, she’s right there with us, and that makes me think that she’s actually a thinking human being instead of a drone like the rest. Besides, watching liberal heads explode as a young, liberal, Democrat, woman of color joins up with the “white nationalist” Trump team would be just too rich!

In several earlier posts I thought Trump should pick her for VP. But I agree Pence is much better. That being said I agree with her. We are just flooding the place with weapons that eventually are sold to the wrong people. I think this lady could be in the Trump White House. I especially think she is cute in her military uniform.

IIRC, her father was a Republican. Hawaiian kind Rep, of course, but some of that might still be lingering on.

FRiends, do not be fooled by this politician.

She is the female equivalent of Obama.

Her entire career has been groomed to rise through the ranks, to appeal to the “hip” and “young,” and to say what will popularly be accepted by a sizeable amount of Libertarians, Democrats, and Republicans.

She is at core a hard-left Progressive.

Please do not be fooled by her good looks, her surfing, her yoga stances, and her generic statements that have populist appeal.

She is at core a hard-left Progressive.
She is the female Obama.

You wanted this hard-core leftist Progressive as VP?

She did a good job pulling the wool over your eyes.

A leftist Progressive on Trump’s team?

Please.

She is the female Obama, hiding her leftist, Progressive ideology very well to climb through the ranks.

It concerns me greatly that Trump met with her.

No, it was not her. That was Bethany Hamilton.

Gabbard is a Progressive politician who is being groomed to be the female Obama.

Step 1. Elect Trump
Step 2. Trump gets sworn in and Isis’s buddy Obama is out!
Step 3. Trump fires Brennan, our Muslim CIA Director.
Step 4. Trump appoints Rep. Mike Pompeo as CIA Director.
Step 5. Pompeo meets with the Russian FSB Director.
Step 6. The FSB and CIA kill and destroy Isis/al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq.

Gabbard should run to be head of the DNC.

“We never had any business in Syria, except to do the bidding of the Saudis.
They want a pipeline and Assad stands in the way.”

And Hence Hillary starting the war.

They should demand a refund.

“... it is Hillary’s & Barry’s war!”

I believe John McCain and Lindsay Graham need to be added to the list. It is a bipartisan effort.

And what fool was Secretary of State when this whole idiot parade began marching? Quick Wikipedia check - oh, yeah, 2011. Arab Spring and all that. That would be Hillary The Horrible, head and shoulders above her competition for worst Secretary of State in U.S. history and I'm not exaggerating. This was after she stuck a bayonet up Gaddafi's, er, fundament, well, somebody did, and what she had to say about it was, and I quote, "We came, we saw, he died." Cute. Quite a year, 2011: Hosni Mubarak was smarting from a similar State Department dagger in his back, and both Libya and Egypt are still torn with conflict. Oh, and still 2011: the President of Yemen for some 20 years was treated similarly, and that one is still a harvest of corpses.

And then it was Syria's turn. And now there appears to be a war refugee issue (no fooling?) as well as a mass economic migration from that area to the more halcyon climes of western Europe. We nearly had this woman as President of the United States. That isn't dodging a bullet, it's dodging a broadside from the USS Iowa.

Absolutely agree.

She’s also a veteran. Which means she’s most likely a Patriot. I can happily disagree with Patriots who have a different perspective. Not so much with globullist kleptocrats who would burn this country.

Ambitious? Good then that Trump meet with her early and often. Keep your friends close, your potential enemies closer.

“...I thought Trump should pick her for VP....”
**********************************************************
No way! Any job she is offered should be focused primarily on our endless war/struggle with Islam where her understanding is PERFECT. Her domestic political beliefs are, however, unacceptable.
