Syria

Could you imagine being stuck in a foxhole with him? You better have a gas mask.

We don’t do foxholes anymore.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

We don’t do foxholes anymore.

It was a joke. Okay? Dear lord. Hope you find some happiness in retirement

 

[newfie]

Blow up some empty warehouses, claim they were chemical weapons storage, declare mission accomplished! Everybody wins!

K, I'll let our military know you said they did a ty job comrade.

i'm sure its still an option under the right conditions. kinda hard to do them in soft sand.

This is actually ahistorical nonsense. While I don't support doing anything militarily in Syria, America and its disastrous invasion into Iraq destabilized that whole area. I remember before the war, anti Iraq war Democrats were saying this war will destroy Iraq, set off sectarian violence in Iraq, that would strengthen Iran and destabilize that part of the middle east and that's what happened.

It truly amazes me that the mfers cheerleading us into that quagmire learned nothing and are advocating doing the same madness in Syria.

But more important, Syria is partly our fault, there is no getting around that. We should allow a lot more of those innocent Syrian refugees to immigrate to America, we should be sending tons of aid and we should be trying to work through the UN and neighboring nations to encourage them to take in Syrian refugees and to help end the conflict.

You sir are confused. Every major Democrat said that Saddam must go before the war in Iraq. John Kerry famously said he was for the war before he was against it. When they were all pontificating they didn't count on one thing, that George W. Bush would actually do something. But this is the Democrat modus operandi, talk big one day, then down the road claim they never said it or as you put it, claim that they warned and argued against something when they didn't. It's exactly why so many legislatures, Governorships, and Federal Offices went Republican, people could see the Democrats talking out of both sides of their mouths. Republicans aren't perfect, but at least they stand for something. What do Democrats stand for? Getting power back to get at all that tax money is pretty much it.

No kidding.

 

[It will be fine]

The point, that you apparently missed, is we have no idea what was actually bombed or the effect it will have. We have a story from our government.

Mission Accomplished! Where have I heard that before?

didn't miss squat. the military and intelligence did the ground work and knows what was in those facilities. you just crapped on their hard work and professionalism. Typical commie badmouthing his country and military while they are in the fight. shame on ya.

The Japanese said it after the successful attack on Pearl Harbor. Mission accomplished is not the same as the war is over.

possibly everytime our military has done their job ?

Just like they knew about all those WMD's in Iraq?

Admiral Yamamoto is said to have quoted "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." after Pearl Harbor.

What is the mission in Syria?

bernie sanders defending the constitution. where are the other conservative defenders?

Bernie Sanders Retweeted The New York Times

It is Congress, not the president, which has the constitutional responsibility for making war. The international community must uphold the prohibition against the use of chemical weapons, but it is unclear how Trump's illegal and unauthorized strikes on Syria achieve that goal.

To "Wag the dog".
