What gives with the establishment. That sorry joke Biden was one of the leaders in blocking Pres. Ford's attempt at last minute funding for South Viet Nam. When the norks won half of Congress seemed dizzy with joy. Every time since any US military operation has been met with cries of 'another Viet Nam' and 'quagmire' from much of the political establishment. G W Bush and his administration were called every epithet possible for the Iraq invasion. So why all the moaning and hysteria when DJT orders uniformed personnel to leave Syria (not a large number). A significant part is that the establishment has learned a few things from Gramsci, without ever knowing his name. One of these is declare your opponents wrong on every thing they do or propose while being careful to never offer any alternative. Constant negative criticism damages one's opponent. Or rather did before DJT who punches back and calls out the constant negative complainers

Turkey is already attacking with Planes

Trump faces growing GOP Deep State revolt on Syria

There, I fixed it! 😄

[Destroyer Sailor]

Yes but the American people support this action. Enough of this fighting endless wars that have no real benefit for the interests of the USA.

[Sacajaweau]

So we’re suppose to attack a NATO ally?

[DoodleDawg]

Rebelling against Trump is about the worst way to get him to change his mind. They should know that by now.

“If Turkey moves into northern Syria, sanctions from hell – by Congress – will follow. Wide, deep, and devastating sanctions,” [Graham] tweeted.

Go for it. I have no problem with that.

But no blood for oil. Our troops don't need to be over there.

... one that owns an airbase where we store approximately 50 B61 thermo-nukes (Incirlik)? (Many here, myself included, were wondering why they weren't removed after the Turks cut off electricity to the base, temporarily trapping several thousand US personnel. I did some searches, and couldn't find any articles stating that they had been removed.)

[lodi90]

LOL. Breathless and hysterical propaganda.

Congress is welcome to declare war.
Lacking a declaration of war, continuing execution of one is improper.

The Syria situation is NOT easily summarized!

Can Graham say "veto"? I knew that he could.

[allendale]

If Trump takes his case for disentanglement from the Mideast to the American people, the turds in Washington will be flushed.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Flimsey Grahamnesty is just pretending to be a Trump ally for re-election purposes.

Grahamnesty is still fully committed to completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) with the final amnesty for illegal aliens he has been working on since 2006 and has voted for THREE times.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the revolting GOP actually revolted against the socialist ‘RATS just one time?

Speaking of our NATO allies, one of them, the UK, just funneled over a billion bucks to Iran, laundering the money through a third party bank to get around US sanctions.

With allies like that, who in Hades needs enemies.

[Avalon Memories]

What gives with the establishment/elite/Swamp/Deep State at any given moment is what their money bags bribe...er, umm, cough...donors want. Money pulls their strings. Power, prestige, and all that comes with it is extra benefits.

[nikos1121]

Congress approves wars, right? If they’re upset, pass some legislation. Do your job damnit.
