What he should of said, fools ran the war. Talking about Bush and Obama.

"Should have said" ??????? Trump said what he said. Is he the idiot/hate/based opportunist I am certain that he is?

Bush was foolish only to all but abandon Afghanistan to fight his lie based war in Iraq.

Obama carried on the mission in Afghanistan honorably and intelligently. Pisses me off to hear Trump undermine so callously and foolishly the entire mission.

Trump's a fool himself since he authorized more spending and troops to fight there and has Pence pledging support indefinitely.

Trump's tweet mostly aids the enemy.

Why do you put up with it.

O started more wars than W could ever dream and left the ME in turmoil. You wouldn't know the truth if it stared you down.

With who exactly?

The war in Afghanistan has been a misguided fool's errand from the start.

We invaded and destroyed an entire country looking for 1 man. ....

Then, when that man left the country, we just quit so we could invade Iraq

Admiral Rockwell Tory....

Was this a 757 or a cruise missile??

Given the amount of 757 debris recovered.......I'm going 757

Obama started zero wars. Idiot.

For the most part, they have been. Once again, Trump is Spot On.

Trump is spot on about what? Getting out or staying. He appears to want both but undermining staying.

He is Spot On for the most part. The Iraq War especially, was a horrific epic blunder.

I think he was referring to former president Hussein who didn't give a damn about the Troops but was too chicken to pull them out. U.S. Troops were hamstrung by idiotic regulations just like every other aspect of government under Hussein. Those days are over even if angry and crazy disappointed lefties are too stupid to understand it.

Syria, yemen, libya, and on and on.

Where was the liberal uproar over Obama's wars in the Middle East?

He has fallen for the sunk cost fallacy

Since cost should not be a factor in determining a resolution of national security threats there is no sunk cost fallacy for Trump to fall for.

Either there is a threat worth the cost or there is not.

If Kabul were to fall to the Taliban and NATO forces withdrawn a serious threat to Pakistan and the region would resume, pushing higher cost to a future generation.

Trump agrees with the Pentagon on that so he should quit aiding and abetting the enemy with tweets when sending our people to continue this fight.

All civil wars that Obama did not start. Their own people started it do to the fall out over the arab spring which was put in motion by Bush.

Wrong. Again, you show your ignorance and stupidity.

Name a war Obama started, like Bush started Iraq. Saddam Hussein was cooperating with inspectors but Bush forced them out. Kadhafi defied a UNSC Resolution to disarm his tanks and Air Force and to cease the military assault on Benghazi. Kadhafi refused and thus started that war.

Ignorance is not specifically naming the wars you think Obama started.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Syria, yemen, libya, and on and on.

Obama started none of them. Why do you think he did?

Because the GOP leadership blamed everything on Obama, and now all the conservatives are doing so as well.

If we used our Military power the way we did in WWII we wouldn't be having these conversations.

Wrong. The way that wars and conflicts are now fought are markedly different than what they were back in the 40's. Guerrilla warfare seems to be the norm nowadays instead of massing large groups to fight each other.

Ya, cost should not be a determining factor for war. What the fuck are you smoking and where can I get it. Lets just throw out cost benifit analysis all together. According to some planet X is a national security threat. I do not feel much like throwing labor or treasure at it. You have got to be fucking kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You misunderstand of course. We were not afraid to use the tools at hand during WWII. We have units and the equpitment that can fight asymmetric warfare we just don't use them effectively.

The truley sad thing of the whole middle east deal is that if we could stop our dependance on oil we would not have to give a shit about what happened there. We could leaqve them to wipe thier asses with their hand and no toilet paper and just not give a fuck.
