whats the body count hillary is responsible for with all her regime changes and her family's donations? Egypt libya syria honduras, honestly that is the biggest glass house in the world to be throwing rocks from... astonishing that you would even post it.
I think he will have to check the articles dealing with her Presidency to check those numbers for you...
good to see we are blaming the cleanup crew and not the 8 years of stupidity that created it. you guys never even leveled a whisper at that administration. now the kurds are your besties. whatever.
This is called cleanup? This is a clear change of policy by Trump. You don't get to blame that on somebody else. Grow the hell up.
The only thing this Administration is cleaning up is their take from Mar A Lago, The Washington Trump hotel and similar ventures... clean up crew my butt
I'm not sure what you're saying.........but who is questioning his right to do it? I'm so sick of this BS non argument. He takes a questionable or controversial action and the argument from the Trumpers is he has the authority............nothing about the action itself.
Oh please. Obama's "red line in the sand" when it comes to Syria? What did he do there?
Let's see... as I pointed out elsewhere the U.S. lost 6 service people and 2 civilians battling ISIS in the Syrian region and the Kurds lost 11,000... now exactly who cleaned up what, and who walked away thumping his chest about what a great success the venture was.. please, the utter hypocrisy that this entire episode unearths is shocking
im just saying the senate over the past 20 years or so has done little to reign in unconstitutional wars, but they sure like to complain a lot. so if they want us to support the kurds then they can get off their asses and put their names on the line and vote to do it. this withdrawal has been coming since mattis left so this not a shock despite fake news media reports.
Why is it that ISIS was still a major force when Obama left office then? Obama handcuffed the armed forces and wouldn't really let the US engage to take out ISIS. Certainly, with serious Kurd help, the US wiped out ISIS in Syria after Trump came into office. Did the Kurds carry a heavy burden against ISIS? No question. But without USA support in the air and on the ground, the Kurds would not have been able to defeat ISIS on their own and essentially drive them away without US firepower, air support, weapons, and tactics after Trump allowed the US to engage.
At least he had the courtesy to pay Stormy Daniels, albeit for silence rather than services, while the Kurds suffered 11,000 casualties and get paid by being hung out to dry, and to top it off today in his "they didn't help us in World War II or Normandy" description notes that they weren't really fighting for us but for their land only to allow Turkey to take that very land and drive them out. This President dishonors every one of us and his office.
I also was taken further in that "World War II" dialogue when asked if our failure to support our Kurdish allies would make it difficult to form alliances in the future to hear our President say "No,...alliances are easy."
lol. Yeah, no one was shocked by a 180 on policy on Monday after a phone call from Erdogan on Sunday night. Right.
Yes, his comment about Normandy and WW II was offbase for sure. No one really knows why this decision was made to abandon the Kurds right now except for a select few in the administration. As I said before, I think this is a mistake. Of all people, the Kurds deserved better than this. The US has shafted them in the past and once again leaves them hanging out to dry with this move.
The U.S. Senate needs to VOTE to save the Kurds ?? !! What planet are you from ?? !!!
But it was neither intractable nor at a standstill. The Kurds had actually agreed to the establishment of a safe zone, and had removed significant fortifications and armaments a month ago to allow for the initiation of the same. There was no reason for the U.S. to suddenly change course when there was, in fact, some headway being made. It makes absolutely no sense.
When Obama left office the US efforts to create a credible fighting force in Syria/Iraq had been underway for some time. Shia militias and others were financed, armed and trained to combat ISIS, resulting in gradual reclamations of ISIS -held territories over a broad area, before the Trump Presidency. Re-writers of history insist on claiming that Trump singlehandedly wiped out The Islamic State from scratch.
You do know those hotels/resorts are booked solid the majority of time, don't you? Try to book a suite.
Thus my comment about "cleaning up."
You and I perhaps a couple more, may be the only ones alive at this point in time, that post here typically..and I rarely engage since it takes so much time. I'm reminded...
I do not follow the threads at this site to know for certain who does what and so forth, but it appears to me that many jump to what they believe you mean rather than what you state. Again, I could be wrong but don't recall you ever stating the current situation was great and that you were 100% behind Trump. What it appeared to be was that you explained a reason why it may have happened and offered the question of "when"..when do we pull out? Again, I may have missed a few things.
what? the senate needs to pick a lane not me. lead, follow or get the f out of the way.
While I'm not favorable to this move, I do believe to suggest he'd endager lives for his profit is asinine. He ran on bringing the boys home among other things, and so far he's kept his word where he can.
