4 DEAD IN SYRIA UNDERSCORE VALIDITY OF TRUMP POLICY

OPINION: CALLING OUT STUPID COMMENTS

DON’T BELEIVE THE WAR HAWKS AND NEOCONS

BRING THE TROOPS HOME


We lost four more young men in Syria yesterday (Wednesday) January 16, 2019.  It is disconcerting to have to listen to the stupidity of  Republican Establishment, the Democrats, War Hawks, “media war-facilitotors ”  and the disgusting Neocons all parroting the same stupidity.  “This proves that President Trump was wrong in claiming victory over ISIS and calling for the troops to come home.”

Four of our own were killed in the northeast of Syria Wednesday..many other citizens were killed as well in a contested village called Manbij.   ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombing but  if I were them I would claim this as a bloody “victory” too.  The fact is they are as President Trump claimed a spent force.  They are no credible theat to anyone.

 Who knows who actually lit the fuse on this powerful EID.  We can only try to assess who profits the most from the terror it creates?  The Kurds in this region have the most to lose from a US pullout.  If this stalls the US departure it it the Kurds who will profit.  The USA unwisely used these insurgents as pawns to keep a foot in the Syria Civil War....where we had no right to be.  The Turks consider them—and rightly so—a terrorist organization tied to the Turkish branch resident in Turkey.   So it is posssible that they were responsible.  But no one will ever know.  The conflict in Syria is so Byzantine so complicated it is impossible for a combatant to know who your friends are and who are you enemies.  This is the precarious deadly environment that our war mongers in DC have decided to  place our young men in to fight.  Mr. Trump was right (again) to declare the war over and bring our boys  home.  Let’s not let this happen again.  For we can be sure of one thing —it will.  

But let me reserve my sharpest barbs for the dummies who repeat the phrase: We must have troops on the ground there.  We have to fight them there so they do not come here. ”.   I think that was originally coined by that genius young President of ours—George Bush.  The very same one who started all the stupidity in the Middle East more than fifteen long years ago—in 2003.  He was wrong then and those who parrot a dummy are wrong today.  Fighting them overseas protects no one at home.  We shed the blood of our youth and waste the taxes of our citizenry—and gain nothin in return.

The insurgents in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen and etc. etc. etc  are no threat to our homeland.  They simply want us to leave their homeland.
