Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
If the battle is won, then why keep our 2,000 men in theater? Are you saying the 50,000 Kurds and Syrians that they trained can’t handle keeping ISIS down? How long should we stay there? 18 years in Afghanistan and no end in sight.
Can you let me know when Congress authorized war in Syria? I missed that designation.
It’s wild that moderates and liberals who were screaming their fucking ass off about “no more war,” “No more nation building,” and of course the classic “no war for oil” are now the hawkest of the hawks, willing to sacrifice our men to stand a post in the middle of hostilities that have been around for 1,300 years.
At least most conservatives have learned our lessons about the folly of meddling in the ME.
It’s almost as if the policy preferences of the moderates and the liberals depends on the jersey of the man in the Oval Office. Weird.
