How is it bullshit? Well for starters you base much of this on our assistance of the Kurds and regaining them their 'homeland'. Well sorry but the president has never said that or given the Kurds more than minimal aid. Why because he would cross the Turks who see any aid to the Kurds as assisting them in their effort to form their own country. It's a non starter. Second the CIA and State Dept have been advocating we get more involved for years using the SAME logic you shot down previously (at least until you idol BO changed his mind). There're more but that's a start. Like I said your reasoning is syncophantic bullshit. This one IS ABOUT YOU SPORT because you drop all pretense of honesty to defend the indefensible.
All this sounds like to me is a nutflex, we can't let our allies think they can do this alone so our idiot president wants to put boots on the ground something he said he wouldn't do. More Americans will die in the Middle East because we can't stand not being in some fucking war that will make a few defense contractors richer.
Well I don't have the time to go dig up your post, there are enough of them so I think I can "paraphrase" we don't have any interest there, they are fighting each other and we don't need to get involved, it would be stupid to do what ISIS wants us to do... you know, pretty much exactly what your boy said not long ago as to why he would NEVER put boots on the ground there. Yet he does it, and now you not only defend it but you do so against statements that came directly from you and what you believe.
It is stupid for us to go over there when other people are fighting them and bogged in the quagmire. Let them all kill each other while we sit back and watch em burn.
So its not just me!! I was thinking I must have misread something - either here or many times in the past. But as Red said, we are the superpower and stuff needs to get done and they can't do shit without us. And that's why we are sending 100 boots on the ground. Not 100 people; 100 feet, 50 people. Its so important we are sending in the equivalent of the World Series rosters. I bet their shitting their britches in Syria today.
We are way late on this. IF we were going to do something we should have done it years ago. At this point all we are going to do is add complexity and confusion to a situation with plenty of both. 50 people is not a force - its a trip wire. How does this end well?
It doesn't even if they don't have a "combat mission" what a cop out and a crawfish all at the same time by this turd
Well this is nonsense. You confuse the Kurdish rebels in Turkey with the Iraqi Kurds who have been functionally independent since 2003. They have been the only Iraqis that have stood up and fight and been good allies to the Americans. We have lavished military aid on the Kurds and have number of problems with the Turks who are still allowing ISIS to resupply through Turkey. Are you saying that John Kerry State department has advocated this years ago?Where is your evidence? The CIA and Spec Ops have been heavily involved all along. What we are not going to do is what you have advocated . . . invade and occupy Syria. Then let's hear it. Be specific and be prepared to back up what you say. You just don't like the facts. Tough shit. It's easier for you to criticize me personally, instead of talking about the issues, but I'm not letting you get away with it. Make your case if you can.
