How quickly you forget 9/11!
You are such a rube!
Doesn't justify this Permanent War policy. The more we invade and bomb, the more Terrorists we create. We should leave those lands. We don't belong in them. We killed Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden. It's over now. Time to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. We've already been there way too long.
We can kill all the people we want, but the problems in those countries won't go away. We opened Pandora's Box in Iraq especially. The Sunnis and Shiites will continue to fight each other. We destabilized that situation. But it's time to leave and allow them to sort out their problems. If they choose all-out Civil War, so be it. That'll be their decision. It's their country, not ours.
Yeah but.
I have some sympathy for Assad. For one thing, the US armed and funded the ISIS rebels Assad is having to fight. That's not cool, but that's in the past. Special forces have been assisting in painting targets and whatnot.
Can Russia and Syria and Iran fix the mess by themselves? If so, let them.
I really think there should be a US/Russian/Iran/Syrian/NATO type coalition for a while until ISIS is eradicated.
That last president we had could have decimated ISIS while they were in convoy.
He chose not to. Very odd decision. It has cost hundreds of thousands of lives since. It's all on his head, too.
Very good points. Wikileaks showed that both Obama and Clinton were aware that Saudi Arabia and other 'Allies' in the region were funding & arming ISIS. They kept it secret from the American People. I think it was just about criminal.
It was all about our Government's disturbing close relationship with Saudi Arabia. I mean, it is the country that bankrolled the 9/11 attacks. I think it may be the most evil nation on earth. I'm ashamed my Government considers it a 'Close Friend.'
OK. Let's assume for minute you are are correct. Saudi Arabia funds ISIS because they oppose Iran, which the Saudis oppose. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
BTW, we are not funding ISIS, we are fighting non-ISIS rebels who are opposing Assad. There are more than two sides in this conflict.
Turkey is our ally and helping us fight ISIS while at the same time they are killing Kurds who are fighting ISIS.
You don't even have the first clue as to what is going on over there, so I suggest you simply shut up until you do.
I don't want ISIS, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey as a 'Friend.' I don't subscribe to your convoluted thinking.
The question is: How did he come to those misguided conclusions? Answer: The AP.
