Oh, come on now. We know Leftists eat hypocrisy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oh, and midnight snacks as well. Besides, there is a war machine to feed!
Last I checked, Syria was still a sovereign country. Atleast, Bassar Assad is dealing with IS and Al Queda by attacking them. Turkey coddles them and provides them arms. The US has a failed foreign policy by looking the other way to Turkey supporting IS and Al Queda even during President Donald Trump's term. I encouraged him to release the IS prisoners to Syria and Bassar Assad so that, they could be given justice. Instead, they were locked up and repatriated into the thousands, including, in the US to be tried here? For a few bullets, Bassar Assad would have dealt with the IS and Al Queda terrorists, they way they should be dealt with. Also, they committed crimes against Syria and its people. They should have been dealt with under Sharia Law and not repatriated back to their countries.
Right wing media once again failing to report what is actually happening in the world. Like 15 posts from right wingers and none of them even get close to what is happening. To clean this mess up: There are some Iranian back militias in Syria that have attacked our positions and assets in Iraq a few times in the past week. This strike was on the militias that attacked us and our assets. It has nothing to do with changing Assad. There is no new war with Syria.
Obama did considerably more meddling than Trump. Trump had a few isolated airstrikes. Of course the left got their panties in a wad when Trump had the military take out the top Iranian terrorist, but it was nothing compared to Obama.
What is so goofy about it? When I became the NASA Administrator — before I became the NASA Administrator — [Obama] charged me with three things: One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.
Might have already been covered in posts above but- by all means- let us not forget that Obama and Hillary ran a personal war and invasion in Libya to achieve some perceived political glory which then went bad. You will recall that Obama got approval from the Europeans and the UN to invade. He used that as his authority. Yet he told Congress that he never consulted with them under the requirements of War Powers Act "because there was not time." Even though he had had time to consult with everyone in power at the UN and the EU and extensive, extensive consultation with the Brits and the French. So, to make a long story short, add that to the list of "airstrikes" on steroids.
Being a trucker exposes me to a lot of points of view and often gives me a heads up on events. I can honestly say Trump was a solid President and this point of view is shared by many. The war machine is gonna war, sooner or later, as long as they have a willing “Participant” in political power. Would the same people who make money through war and killing people be willing to influence the outcome of the 2020 elections? While Trump approved big a military spending budget, at least military hardware saw the least use of any US President for decades.
