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.

Before calling themselves Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL they were Al Qaeda in Iraq, or AQI.

From a DoD report:

The Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.

The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime.

Yeah, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn was head of the DIA exposing this. What ever happened to him? Just kidding. Note to self: Don’t expose the globalist cabal’s demonic doings and expect not to be silenced at all costs.

"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."

==============

I remember Mcain and Linda paying nearly a $billion to train five freedom fighters. As soon as they got back to Syria, poof. Linda is a total 'fing clown. Everytime I see these fighters, whatever side they are on, they have no lack of guns and ammo, and other things that cost tons of money. Stop the flow of arms and money and you'll stop the war. If that was the goal.

Linseed Gramham should be ignored.He’s one of the reasons we’re in the shape we are in.Being a damned lawyer.

We better pray we haven't made enemies of someone who thinks in long range strategic terms rather than in the short term colonialist mindset trap we're in.

China thinks this way. Iran and Saudi Arabia also play America as a fool and tool. Are we just lucky that another country like North Korea didn't get stupid. I am also not to fond of poking Russia over and over. I think America at times has lost its collective mind.

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.

Well, just look at the fundamental point that if two sides are fighting and you attack one side, you without a doubt help the other side.

The collective American mind is basically optimistic so most people rationalize anything that doesn't directly impact their daily lives into something positive.

Like people cheering for NAFTA and whole industries moving overseas until their job went to Mexico or China. Most people just pointed the cheap stuff in Walmart and shrugged off what was happening to someone else.

I asked for your explanation before reading this, but this gives me an idea of what you mean. I watch Tucker every night, and I have not found his stance on anything that is as you say. Whether it be nonsense & rapes in the schools, college idiocy, Russian interference in the election, Rice, etal he speaks the same common-sense Conservative stance.

Regarding this missile launch on Syria, he, like many of us, is sceptical.

I saw this—Graham looked both agitated and drunk. Disgusting. Like he was in a frenzy of lust for more bombing. Incohent. Ugh. Gross, just gross.

Tucker is very smart and shrewd. Graham talked down to him the entire time as well as talking over his questions. To compare him to that Kelly person is ridiculous. He got Graham to evade three times how much his little adverture would cost.

I agree with everything you said about Tucker Carlson. Great show. Is he perfect the way freepers expect him to be? No. Just very good.

Give McCain a rusty AK and drop him behind ISIS lines if he’s so dedicated to their cause.

No, that’s fine you know, Graham is bad news. But I’ve seen Tucker with supposedly friendly guests and he seems to do what I saw Kelly do - turn friendly guests into hostel guests. I could be wrong but so far, I’ve seen that tendency.

Of course, Lindy is probably in with the Saudis who love raping the little boys in basements in their international pedophilia ring.

Evil people, people who do evil disgusting, irrational, immoral things with their bodies and lust after others so they can do disgusting, demeaning, degrading things to other for “Love” (lol) , will eventually resort to the diabolical and demonic. It is the nature of evil. After all, the little boys, (as Milo confirmed), LOVE it when they get such great, intimate attention by older males.
