. . . that he is starting to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan and the Washington establishment that constantly praises and expresses its everlasting love for “our troops” is outraged. No one in D.C. is singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” to celebrate, but you can bet your life that the families of the troops will be. The establishment Scrooges are outraged that the president puts America and American troops first, before the establishment’s racket of getting rich through defense contracts for unconstitutional, immoral, unnecessary wars that only make more enemies for the American people.
How funny to see “Mad Dog” Mattis throw a hissy fit like a little girl who has just had her baby doll snatched away from her, and Mitch McConnell looking even more constipated than usual. The poor general will now have to join all those hundreds of other retired generals as a millionaire lying puppet for the military/industrial/spying-on-Americans complex.

The first fact to remember is no matter what Trump does as far as the commie left and their media whores accomplices are concerned it's wrong. He could cure cancer and they'd bitch about all the oncologists unemployed. As for pulling out of Syria etc...... Could hurt him, could help him politically. Simply too early to tell. But if it was a Demonrat doing this it would be more wonderful than Christmas (too the left of the course Christmas is an evil racist symbol of the patriarchy).

Delete:)We only have about 2K in Syria, so I don't think withdrawing would hurt much, famous last words.:)
Back when the U.S. inaugurated wars in Iraq and Afghainstan, I contacted my elected officials against doing so EXCEPT by a Congressional Declaration of War or a Letter of Marqui and Reprisal (for Al Qeda's supposed WTC attack). Of course, they bi-partisanly ignored their Constitutional oaths. In discussions, I often heard, "we gotta fight'em there, so we don't haveta fight'em here". So I asked, "and how do they get here?" Blank stare responses. So I would say, "don't let'em come here!" And if you do go to war, by Constitutional Declaration, use all that is necessary to define an objective, win and then get out! --Ron W
ReplyDeleteEven in WWII we didn't get out.
DeleteGen Patton was held back from driving into Germany and taking Berlin because the Soviets were being allowed to take it and Eastern Europe. He had promised to resign his commission after WWII and tell Americans about the sellout. As he said, ( not an exact quote) "we defeated one enemy only to turn Europe over to a worse one" But then he was "accidentially" killed in a car-truck collision after the ear before returning home. --Ron W
DeleteOh, course, nothing suspicion at all.............
DeleteWhy would anyone care that the Soviets took Berlin instead of Patton? Patton wasn't even close and didn't have the fuel to get there. He was on the wrong side of Germany. It's like a Russian general complaining that he was "held back" from taking Paris so the allies could get there first. The Russians lost 90k men in that battle. Was Patton jealous that it wasn't his men killed instead? T.E. Laurence also died in a car accident after ww1. Cars were dangerous back then.
