I think the plan, the real Bi-partisan plan, is to keep us militarily involved over there forever. How else can you explain allowing mission creep so bad that it turned a 30 day temporary deployment into a decade long boondoggle with no end in sight?

Who has been sent to forum time out? Me or you hmmm?

[Dowly]

I have.

Does that have something to do with your crackpot theory of democrats sending CIA to spy on Pence?

No it doesn't Dowly, the question was who is a child. Thanks for playing but do try to keep up won't you?

As for my "crackpot theory" it was part joke and part recognition of the secret CIA spy, er,.. I mean "whistle blower", who reported directly to the Democrats about Trumps call with the Ukrainian PM before his own IG.

Of course you strike me as a humorless person and probably wouldn't spot a bit of levity if it were to bite you on the butt.

Think about it the enemy wouldn't move on those big bad fifty (50) men guarding the Kurds with 1,000 brothers stationed nearby.

Fear means respect and I feel the USA will get it back ... too much smoke to see the good in all of this yet.

As you so bluntly put earlier, it's only common courtesy to let people know what you're intent is. Trump is an idiot, and even if he is right about something, he's too stupid to make it work without stepping on his "twitter" in the process.

You know the Trump is an idiot meme keeps getting pushed by the left but I seriously doubt that an idiot could survive the constant attacks being made against him. He has outwitted them at every turn with little help from his own party's leadership, yet they all continue to underestimate him by calling him stupid.

How stupid will he be when he wins reelection?

[vienna]

Probably just as stupid as when he gets impeached...

Oh look, that big deal of the little boy did not held for even one day. Cease-fire broken, Turkish air force is fully engaged again. Massacres of civilians during their withdrawing from the territory that Little Boy has sold to Erdoghan for nothing get reported.



Enjoy the show, Little Boy! Clap clap clap clap hands. Its the fruits of your great, unmatched wisdom (tm) and pedagogic efforts.

Certainly no love lost between these two then.

Yes there are several fraction of the Kurds

I don't think Turkey is seeing it this way- I think they are planning on cleaning this area from all type of Kurds.

But the area is only a small fraction of Kurdish lands and only one or two of the many Kurdish tribes live there.

The speaker of the Republican majority in senate Mitch McConnell attacks grrreat Lil' Boy's policy as a "strategic nightmare" and a "grave strategic mistake" He called the uS retreat by its name, . He said sticks and carotts should be used to bring Turkey back in line.

I wonder: what stick? Lil' Boy threw it away. The US has no sticks against Turkey in Syria anymore. Sanctions will not intimidate Erdoghan, since he is as much at a loss of reality, as Lil' Boy himself is. The plebs is in overwhelming, hysterically patriotic support of the war and Erdoghan. Or as a commentator in a German opinion piece wrote two days ago: The US can just simulate to be a superpower anymore. And Russian soldiers posed recently with standing in US bases in Syria, with Syrian troops on their heels. Anyone expecting they move out again if the Americans say they want them back...?

Mr McConnell is the latest Republican to criticise the president over Syria. Senator Lindsey Graham - normally a staunch ally of Mr Trump's - has vociferously opposed the administration's troop withdrawal.
"A buffer zone is acceptable to the Kurds but a military occupation that displaces hundreds of thousands is not a safe zone," Mr Graham said on Thursday after speaking to Kurdish forces. "It is ethnic cleansing."

And Lil' Boy blew the whistle to start it.
