“After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines,” Pelosi’s spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement. The statement continued:

“In the middle of the night, the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased danger to the delegation and to the troops, security, and other officials supporting the trip. This morning, we learned that the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well. In light of the grave threats caused by the President’s action, the delegation has decided to postpone the trip so as not to further endanger our troops and security personnel, or the other travelers on the flights.”

Hammill said later in an email that Pelosi canceled the trip after her office found out that multiple administration officials had attempted to leak the congressional delegation’s commercial flight plans through reporters.

Really? Put the troops in danger? Are we saying that the Taliban and ISIS don’t know the American Troops are in Afghanistan? Or is it a secret that we have troops in Europe? How exactly did anyone put the troops in danger?

Surely you know ISIS has been defeated. Surely you know we have partnered with both of these organizations.

I’m guessing that ISIS and the Taliban didn’t get the Memo. Hey, these things happen, distribution lists are sometimes iffy things.

But let’s say you are right. That still leaves a question doesn’t it? So how did we put the troops in danger then?
 
As an average American, I see President Trump at the White House, working hard to keep our country safe, while the Democrats are on vacation and/or are unwilling to make a deal. I’m with you, Mr. President!
