Tucker Carlson Pushes Sen Graham to Explain Call for Troops in Syria, how long, and at what cost?
Fox News ^ | 4/7/17 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 04/08/2017 10:22:53 AM PDT by PK1991

Tucker Carlson interviews Senator Graham and asks for specifics on what his call for 7,000 troops in Syria means. Who would they fight, how long would they stay, how much would it cost. In the interview, Senator Graham expresses support for fighting ISIS, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Russia. I may be missing a few nations.

It wasn't designed to. It was simply a message; Don't eff with us.

I didn't realize Syria was messing with us.

Well Linda reminds me of the saying “give him an inch and he’ll take a mile”. Give Linda a missile strike, and he’ll only settle for World War III.

You might have missed it, but Graham is not the President.

Whooa, it works like this, you ask a question and I answer. I ask a question then you answer.☺

And answering a question with a question often indicates evasive behavior. Your turn.

Now it’s your turn. Instead of evading my question, answer mine, as I did yours. That’s the way it works here.

You reminded me of a great quote by a great man (destroyed by warmongers)

“If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.”

Russia will bitch and do nothing. Assad just lost 20% of his Air Force and can’t afford another loss like that. This will be a big win for Trump in multiple ways.

As for those who are worried about who likes it when they don’t, they have Code Pink is on their side, they are against it.

He wants seven thousand troops there. While Tucker mentioned the monetary costs, he didn’t ask about the cost to our troops by death and injury. Also, Graham is still talking about training the moderates, whoever they are, but we tried that, spent a bunch of money, and as soon as they were trained they joined the terrorists. Graham sounded like an idiot to me.

You got it. And if you were not correct, Russia would have declared war on the U.S. two days ago. Russian will not risk war with a superpower like the U.S., over Syria.

I think he did a good job of asking questions and letting Graham talk and make a fool of himself.

Senator Smithers’ logic:

“ISIL” is a threat to “the Homeland” because some lone wolf sympathizers committed terror attacks in America.

Therefor, we should kill ISIL and the threat will disappear.

So, I guess suicide bombers will just just give up when we kill their friends and families. No more terrorists, ever!

Trump: “I can’t figure it out so I’ll drop a few million of cruise missiles on an airfield ala Bill Clinton and General Wesley Clark


Actually, that’s the Putin Doctrine. But thanks for playing.

Maybe, but Tucker, with that constant furrowed brow, comes across to me as someone who argues with his supposedly friendly guests who offer positive pro-American, pro-Constitution things that help our country not unlike Kelly used to try to shoot down her Right-leaning guests. At some point I said that Kelly was like the attorney who would suddenly turn a friendly witness into a hostile witness. I think I see some of that in Tucker.

That’s a great quote. Thanks! The late Joe Sobran is Ann Coulter’s favorite.
