    Libya wasn't an American war, or did you forget all that "leading from behind" bullshit where Obama insisted it was a NATO operation with only American support?

    Seems you aren't familiar with the difference between a war and a regional conflict. But you are in good company since it seems congress has a hard time with it as well.

    Polls are fine things, but they do not provide important information - in this case, the level of understanding or knowledge of the Syrian situation/withdrawl. How many 'regular' Americans fully comprehend all the issues involved in the Syrian situation? Its all well and good that 49% support Trump, but we have no idea WHY they support him and his decision. Without that, the number could be 100% and it would mean nothing to me. I leave those decisions to the experts.

    You uninformed chicken hawks amuse me. The US was the main effort in Libya.
    Seems like you’re making excuses for a war criminal, just because he has a (D) in front of his name.

    I am more than familiar with the efforts to arm the mujahadin in their fight against the COMMUNIST regime and their Soviet allies. The American war was an entirely different kettle of fish.

    You should heed your own warning.

    Are you serious? I’m a Russian because I have the right to call out our government’s wars of aggression?

    Beat it, Joe McCarthy.

    Yep, and Iraq 1 &2, Afghanistan? which seem entirely more influential in shaping the current global political climate than wars of the last century.

    Notwithstanding the "new world order" established at the end of ww2 and trump's disregard for it today.

    I guess I missed the part where obama withdrew all the US troops out of the Mid East and you missed the part where Trump wants US troops out of other countries.

    Glad you accept that Bush started our indefinite wars and killed hundreds of thousands of people for nothing

    I agree that Obama screwed up Libya and Syria. But he did end Iraq and if Bush did not start all this nonsense there would be nothing to end

    This country today is in the moral sewer. Everything you noted is true. And we are smack in the middle of overthrowing yet another legitimate government, to thunderous applause by people claiming to be advancing democracy and peace.

    Not often, but the MSM does occasionally cover it. Maybe one story slips through from time to time, and many are blatant attempts at more spending.

    Airframes running at high times, meaningful numbers of aircraft grounded. Navy ships colliding with civilian tankers, with Navy crews unrested and untrained.

    Army lowering standards for recruits. Young men having been raised on dangerous drugs causing gynecomastia does not help, though it's not the Army's fault.

    All this use and abuse for the charade called the Global War On Terror, a real war brought under fraud for the benefit of others.

    All Americans are weary of endless war. Democrats agree with Republicans. Obama wanted us out of the Middle-east just like Trump does.

    So the guy that say it's wrong to let the enemy know what we are planning announced to the entire world that he is withdrawing troops and you applaud this action? The same group and chewed out Obama for bringing troop home from Iraq, now kisses Trump's @$$ as if somehow is a genius. You warhawks all of a sudden now are changing your tunes?? Y'all are truly hilarious.

    Hindsight is 20/20. I doubt your would criticize Trump if it turns out years later that this decision is a mistake. By the way.....the whole ME debacle is a nasty mess started by a dumb republican named Bush.

    Neocon is nothing but a term republicans use as a diversionary tactic so they can try and not to own up to their own mistakes. They don't fool us....not one bit.

    Bush started a war based on lies, and conservatives cheered him on. Don't try your nonsense deflection.

    You sure don't criticize Bush over it.

    Have fun with yourself.
