    Trump spent a few years in a military academy winning 3rd place bowling trophies. He doesn't know squat about military strategies. Like informing the generals of your decision to pull out troops before you announce it to the world.

    He's winning wars Obama lost.

    And I suspect he knows more about military tactics than most.

    He uses them in the office place and they are working out well.

    For one, Syria is in a debilating civil war, two, Obama didn't do it all on his own. You forget, there was a Republican House and Senate when they were deployed.

    This is another flame bait thread!!!

    Obama was the Executive in Chief of the Military.

    He was at the wheel, why are you slinking away from that fact?

    Is it because it reflects poorly on Obama?

    Maxine Waters is a bully, encouraging bullying. The nuts who mobbed Kirstjen Nielsen in a restaurant were bullies. The protesters who harassed Tucker Carlson were bullies. The restaurant owner who threw out Sarah Sanders was a bully. The lefties who harassed Mitch McConnell were bullies. Hillary "you cannot be civil [to Republicans]" Clinton was encouraging bullying. A press that constantly spins, misleads, and pushes propaganda and hate against the President and Republicans is a form of bullying.

    And through it all, Trump comes out swinging. Trump really doesn't need to be defended, just look at his record.

    But you can keep hate, hate, hating if you'd like. As if Trump cares ;)

    You mean Hillary was lying when she claimed she was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia?

    I think her official statement (after being caught in yet another of an endless series of lies) was that she misspoke.

    I have misspoken before-It never involved dodging sniper fire.

    No, he didn't. Because America would never agree to that demand with Iraq. The Iraqis knew we would never agree to that demand. They wanted our troops out.

    Again, we have weak-ass deflection. Is this really the best that the Right can bring to the debating table?

    She's absolutely correct.

    I think you are triggered because you know it as well.

    Obama was a weak POTUS and Trump is a striking contrast to that.

    Nothing is being abandoned. We came, we saw, we kicked ass.

    Bad news for the establishment swamp.

    Yeah, we should have pulled out of Germany in January 1945 and let the Nazis rebuild too.

    When the Fake News MSM learns to focus on the 4 Ws+1H again they may start to regain some of their lost credibility.

    This is the sort of comment made by someone who obviously was never subject to the draft or subject to a pre-induction physical pursuant to induction. During the draft the criteria for determining the fitness of an inductee for military service (be it bone spurs or whatever) was determined by the selective service system and required an exam by a medical doctor. Now explain how reporting for a physical and being classified 4F as the result of a medical exam by a doctor indicates a lack of spine.

    So you’re saying he went back in and didn’t sign it...because he never had to if he wanted to keep our troops there and continue to make sure the nation was stable. Unfortunately he withdrew..calling or a free and stable nation, only have to go back

    President and First Lady make secret visit to Iraq...


    Turkey and Saudi Arabia will finish ISIS off and rebuild Syria.

    'The United States cannot continue to be the policeman of the world.' 'It’s not fair when the burden is all on us, the United States.'​

    Trump said he didn't want the U.S. to be 'taken advantage of any more by countries that use us and use our incredible military to protect them' as he complained that 'they don’t pay for it, and they’re going to have to.'

    'In Syria, Erdogan said he wants to knock out ISIS, whatever’s left, the remnants of ISIS. And Saudi Arabia just came out and said they are going to pay for some economic development. Which is great, that means we don’t have to pay,' he rejoiced. 'We are spread out all over the world. We are in countries most people haven’t even heard about. Frankly, it’s ridiculous.'​

    Trump confidently told reporters Wednesday, 'It’s time for us to start using our head. We don’t want to be taken advantage of anymore.'
