And the idiot is saying he doesn't care if ISIS escapes because they are going to escape to Europe.  Mr. President we live in a Global world

@Chosen Daughter interesting turn of phrase by Trump considering the fact that Erdogan threatened the EU today with a flood of Turkish "immigrants" if they don't stop calling what he's doing an invasion.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

This is a military super grab by Turkey, Iran and Russia.  Their flood of immigrants will be extremist Muslims too.  What Europe has enough of.  I can't imagine what Trump was trying to accomplish with this.  He was always trotting out the ISIS 100% gone.  Which was never the case, but now wishing them on Europe.  And if they are going to their previous homes expect Minnesota to be infested too!
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

OK, thanks, I hate these endless wars too but I also hate abandoning the Kurds.

Thankfully 7 thousand miles away.  Being that far away did not stop 9/11.  His plan is to stop housing ISIS at Guantanamo also.  He is handing this all over to extremist Turkey.  Say goodbye to Christianity in the Middle East also.

We have ceased to be anything good in the world.

@Chosen Daughter

What's keeping YOU and your family from suiting up and going there to join with the Christian forces and pick up a rifle to join the fight? How many of your family members are infantrymen serving in the Muddle East?

Oh really?  So lets just let Iran and Turkey take over the entire region right?

There is nothing keeping YOU from going there and picking up a rifle,though.

Is it fair to say that any progress that the U.S. made over in the ME in the past decade has now been setback?
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Defending this stupid POTUS on his most heinous action ever.  The Kurds have been our most loyal allies in the WOT for almost 20 years.



@catfish1957

No,WE have been THEIR ally for close to 20 years,helping them fight a fight they were already fighting by providing them with training,weapons,food,clothing,and cash.

In return,they provided us with nothing at all. They were already fighting when we first went there.

I just hope we don't start importing the Kurds into America like we did the Somalians and others.

Thats the problem - we haven't made any progress anywhere in the ME.

Only the illusion of progress and even then only because we've interposed US bodies and treasure between the ages-old combatants.

He's worse than a failure.  He's turned his back on the Kurds who have gave countless lives to help us fight Islamic extremist. 
 

@catfish1957

WHAT?????? They were fighting this fight long before we came along. We just helped them with material and cash,we didn't talk them into it.

Reports are coming in that 100,000 are now displaced.  Christians are being prosecuted and murdered.  Those that were rescued previously and returned to their homes are now fleeing again.

This is no different than when Bammy pulled troops out allowing ISIS to form a caliphate.  Anyone forget the videos of ISIS beheadings?

I predict we now will be fighting ISIS on our own turf.  IF our southern border was under control and we had a handle on knowing who is coming across it would be one thing, but they don't.  That is reality. 

We will become another Europe -- refugees will no doubt be coming here and along with them those that want to destroy the U.S.

WE haven't made any progress because we have been treating symptoms rather than the disease @skeeter!  The disease is the Mullahs in control of the Iranian government!

No way I can defend Trump on this, it stinks to high heaven to leave the kurds unprotected after they fought side by side with us against ISIS.


@jpsb

WRONG! WE were THEIR ally. THEY were NOT helping us. WE were helping THEM to fight a war they have been fighting since before any of their current fighters were even born.

And there's the House of Saud & the Wahabbis.

We could do something about them but it would take a declaration from congress and total war to accomplish anything lasting.

Well, apparently we are energy independent now and don’t need their oil, anymore. I suppose we could begin by suspending arm sales to them, as members of Congress have suggested.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

The House of Saud and the Wahabbis were largely under control until Jimmiuh CAAAATA foolishly allowed the Mullahs to take control of the Iranian government @skeeter and until they no longer are in control of that government no real progress is possible. 

And BTW:  WE do not need to launch a war with Iran to get rid of those B@stards!  All we need do is to back the right people internally in Iran and they will take care of that for us.

Israel strongly condemns the Turkish invasion of the Kurdish areas in Syria and warns against the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds by Turkey and its proxies.
Israel is prepared to extend humanitarian assistance to the gallant Kurdish people.
