    What diversion? Syria is Obama's baby...Trump just cleaned it up....Trump isn't betraying anyone. There is a time to wind things down, and this is it.....we've cleaned up a lot of Obama's mess....but we aren't going anywhere and made it clear we will continue to oppose Nancy P's tea party pal Assad

    Graham and Trump have been at loggerheads over Syria for some time now. It's not a big deal. There was never any redline in Syria.

    Recruiters never had lines out the door of young folk wanting to sign up and save the Syrian children from Assad's chemical weapons. Nobody cared or cares about the children.

    If you need to pretend that, why are the conservative Republicans outraged by Fake Don's cutting and running not mewling about Obama these days?

    Let's see how Trump's cutting and running plays out in Syria, in the US Department of Defense, and among conservative Republicans in the Senate and House, already taxed by his attempt to extort a political "favor" from a foreign nation.

    Pretend? What's there to pretend about....Obama clearly blew it with Syria and created a large part of that mess by turning a blind eye to the usage of WMDs and inviting his pal Putin in.

    Nobody is cutting and running, Trump cleaned up a large part of that mess, namely ISIS and is committed to defending the red line if Assad using WMDs again.

    Obama was the president when the pullout took place so if iraq was still unsettlled and a breeding ground for ISIS the blame is on him

    That would only make sense if anybody thought Lindsey Graham was a stable genius....

    He's not either...

    But I do agree with impeach ASAP.... it's only likely to get worse...

    Without Mattis, McMasters, and "Day Care" Kelly to keep Private Bonespurs in line,

    You send YOUR troops there to stay forever babysitting those people. YOU pay for it and kill YOUR children in the process.

    You would support that, right?

    Diversion fails again. Regarding Syria, Obama is not what Republican Senators and Congressman are currently outraged by. Listen to them.

    Do we have a treaty with the Kurds? If so, honor it. If not, why are we even over there? We can reward them for their help all these years monetarily, but we don't owe them protection.

    Now, if the U.N. wants to get involved and we're part of a broad coalition, that's one thing. But we should not be unilaterally picking winners and losers over there.

    If you like Bonespurs' steadfast commitment to Afghanistan, despite his frequent claims concerning withdrawal, and find the resultant US casualties there acceptable, so be it.

    Your posts remind me of a fish desperately flopping around to make it back to the water.

    Do you support Bonespurs' commitment, despite his frequent promises to withdraw, to the far greater level of casualties in Afghanistan than incurred in supporting the democratic Kurdish allies?

    My TV was on and President Snowflake wasn't being covered... Thank goodness, since my mute button has been getting a workout the past 3 years...

    The next time Trump actually answers the question asked of him will be the first...

    Give it up. Trump ran on ending foreign wars and he's actually doing what he says.

    I bet independents/moderates can dig it.
