Now that the hysterics have input their .2 percent we never signed up for an everlasting war in Syria......Our express purpose was to combat ISIS..... We made no promises we would help establish a Kurdish state either.

It is high time we pulled our troops home and stopped wasting billions of $$ and American lives while doing nothing more than supporting and participating in never ending tribal wars. Regardless of the hysterics that is not our fight, never was our fight......Trump is doing little more than living up to another of his campaign promises which was to get us out of being the policemen of the world when there is no threat to us involved.

Our soul stated purpose and only reason for going there back in 2014 was to combat the ISIS caliphate.....mission accomplished. American lives should not be lost fighting in tribal disputes that have existed for hundreds of years and will likely continue for hundreds more.

So honorable.

I wont deign to speak for anyone but myself but I for one dont see it as a blunder at all.....my last post has some detail as to why. As for your comment impugning my honor because I see this differently go fuck yourself or perhaps you can join the ongoing circle jerk you haters have going and build your callouses with the rest.

Why don't more people stand up against endless war in tribal conflicts?

I cant fathom the mindset of people who support Americans dying and money that could be used for far better purposes being spent on tribal wars that have no bearing whatsoever on America.....it is the height of stupidity. Think how much better off we would be if everyone thought logically instead of emotionally or let their sex organs lead them around by the nose.....

Don't you find it revealing that the same Trump supporters here that want us to get out of "endless wars" rail against Obama for puling out of Iraq and not honoring his "red line" in Syria???? They claim, with good justification, that these two events created ISIS in the first place. The orange monkey gets a pass from them though.

That is a silly premise.....we will never totally eliminate ISIS at least not militarily.....we knew that going in. We have however eliminated the caliphate which was the goal. They have been reduced to holding less than 50 square miles of territory. Should they become a large scale threat again we can always kick their ass again. In the meantime we have no business involving ourselves in tribal conflicts just because you Trump haters want to use emotional blackmail to beat on Trump......Drop the damn politics and use some rationality.

And if they rise to the level of being a threat to US again we can address that as needed. We are not the worlds police force for tribal disputes.....

The level of stupidity emanating from the left is becoming blindingly asinine....

The far left Trump-hating CIA “whistle blower” who traveled with Joe Biden to Ukraine has decided he does not want to testify in person. But his far left Democrat attorneys have graciously offered to submit written answers. This is a clown show. Democrats have now officially BROKEN EVERY RULE on the impeachment process possible. They want to impeach the president with a Trump-hating CIA hack who traveled with Joe Biden to Ukraine and filled out a complaint based on rumors. But this far left leaker will not testify in person. He wants to turn in written answers. Democrats REALLY are crazy.

This is getting priceless now with the Democrat/Deep State created Trump/Ukraine hoax, because now we are finding out that the Trump/Ukraine hoax whistle blower actually made trips with Joe Biden to the Ukraine. This reveal of the Trump/Ukraine hoax whistle blower going on trips with Joe Biden to the Ukraine who was likely at the time of these trips dealing with Burisma and threatening Ukraine if certain investigations were not ended, only happens to come after the discovery of the whistle blower being professionally connected to Joe Biden.

With the professional connection to Joe Biden and this hoax whistle blower going on trips to the Ukraine with Joe Biden, it's probably very likely this hoax Trump/Ukraine whistle blower is involved with the Biden family dealings with Ukraine's Burisma. Remember the Democrat establishment is attempting to coup Trump over this whistle blower who is professionally connected to Joe Biden who was paid $900,000 by Burisma for lobbying and also went on trips with Biden to Ukraine.

When their house of cards finally falls its going to be like watching a Roman spectacle.....

Why Shep Smith Is Leaving Fox & Rudy 2

Did Smith think it was fair that he decided to spend a minute disagreeing with Carlson (which surprised me) and then Carlson spent more time than that with a comeback?  Both of them are so sure of themselves. Two very smug people.

Agreed.... There is a reason several of the haters on the forum are going to miss Shep....he was on the other side of the "fair and balanced" Fox touted for so long.....I enjoyed Carlson for a few months when he 1st came on however his smugness finally wore me down, have not watched more than a random clip from him a long time. In fact I rarely actually watch any of the prime time folks on Fox anymore beyond the occasional clip with the exception of Mark Levin which I almost never miss. I moved mostly to watching OAN in the evenings if anything news at all.

Influence peddling plain and simple. It is disgusting and a big reason why people hate DC, myself included. Hunter is a bad son for putting his Dad in this situation. 

The conspiracy stuff being thrown around that Joe Biden extorted Ukraine is just that, unsubstantiated BS. If it were true, he should end his candidacy right now and step aside, but it is total BS. He deserves a bruise or two over this, but not disqualification based on what happened. His son is the one that deserves our disgust, not Joe.

Joe Biden SHOULD be forced to answer the question of how he is going to stop this crap that is universal in DC if he were President, especially regarding his own family. I do not care what Hunter has to say.

I would tend to agree with that assessment except for one thing.....Joe used his position and bragged about it publicly to have the attorney investigating his son fired.....That should have sent him to prison regardless of whether the attorney needed to be fired or not. If not prison then kicked out of politics forever.
