Suddenly, after Gulf War and its many sequels, you want to spew forth on who our friends are, and who should stand with them? The last administration couldnt see fit to send rescue troops, who were ready to go, to save the poor souls in Bengazi, but, you think this one should carve out a homeland for a people the neighbors arent interested in having around? That, and the mighty ISIS that isnt is your issue?
To quote a quote, At this point, what difference does it make how many troops are in Syria?
You have no argument to make. Another 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 American troops isnt going to bring peace to that neighborhood, you just like to pretend if a liberal did it, it would. You would like to pretend a liberal could save the Kurds, but, Obama had his shot, and it sure as hell wasn't done.

Insult me all you want. Your argument is and will always be weak.

Long on insults. bill, with the inane, clueless questions he asks, that show he doesnt read and might not know how to think, deserves it.

Best,

Jesus you are an ignorant stupid , selfish piece of sh!t Ms. Peep.

Your response indicates that you don't want American boots on the ground in the Middle East. Well as long as we want their oil you know that isn't gonna happen. And it is because we want their oil and historically set up and supported for US dictators over there is one of the several reasons we have all these problems in the Middle East.

And after Obama unwisely withdrew from Iraq, and ISIS came storming in, instead of using only using US troops to fight them back, we armed and trained the Kurds to fight them for us, and they beat them back taking some 10,000 plus casulties.

You do realize they fought ISIS for us so we didn't have to send more troops there to die don't you? Obama got them to do that.

And you are right along with Trump in how we thank them. Abandon them to be slaughtered by Turnkey and force them into an alliance with our adversaries.

You have a despicable sense of entitlement to you that you think its OK that other peoples should carry on our fights and then toss them under the bus because they deserved it.

What a dull tool you make Ms. Peep.


News flash. We dont actually need their oil, since we elected Mr. Trump. Check in the McPaper. We are an actual exporter of same. Dated, has been news, from you.

They fought ISIS because it was the right thing to do. They would have done it, whether we helped them of not. Obama had nothing to do with it. They have been fighting, rightly, and, unbeknownst to you, wrongly, for a century. Short of inviting them here, there is little we can do to make their situation better. Im not opposed to that, either. It is a far better option then trying to make the bad guys in their neighborhood play nice with them for the next two thousand years. Ever heard of the Hmong?
You, being a typical dense liberal, cant or wont understand that. The Calvary needs to come home. Strangers, attempting to plant the seeds of democracy, in backward 7th century nations has been a distinct failure.

Im not terribly interested in paying reparations in US lives for what some politician did in the 1950s. It isnt going to be us that brings about the end of the Syrian or Iranian regimes. The people that live there are going to have to do it.

Keep calling me names. It illustrates how backward, out of touch with reality and weak your arguments truly are.

Ted
