    So Now Liberals are Pro War and want to keep the United States at War forever in the Middle East, since it was Trump that withdrew the US forces out of Syria. If Liberals manage to get Liberal War Hawk Pocohantas elected in 2020, she can lead the charge on her Horse right back into that Hell Hole.

    What do you think Delta Force's functions are? They're special ops, which means they don't wear a US military uniform, they're a mixture of members from all branches of the military. They wear civilian clothes and unlike regular US military, the Delta Force or 'Special Ops' are autonomous. They work for whomever needs them -- for the Army, the FBI and the CIA. Delta Force are trained as professional assassins and they approach the status of mercenaries.

    Your post is patently false. ISIS started in 2004, but providing misleading and false info is your means of reality.

    [​IMG] Geez! talk about Bombing them back into the Stone Age. One thing the United States is good at is building Bombs, BIGLY BOMBS and when we decide to hit a Target, we hit it Hard and there's nothing but dust left over. As long as Terrorist organizations want to elect new Leaders, America will keep building more Bombs to kill them. Not a job I'd like having to always peak out the Window hoping there isn't a Predator Drone circling around above your House or Cave.

    It's pretty clear that you don't know the difference between the US being directly involved in a war and supporting the Kurds fight against ISIS. Are you really that uninformed that you're unaware that the US has always been involved in military conflicts indirectly in order to shape and effect the outcomes?

    Read and learn.
    1. 1953: U.S. overthrows Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh of Iran. U.S. installs Shah Pahlavi as absolute monarch.
    2. 1954: U.S. overthrows democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz of Guatemala as part of a conflict that resulted in up to 200,000 civilians killed.
    3. 1963: U.S. backs assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.
    4. 1963–75: American military kills 4 million people during the Vietnam War.
    5. September 11, 1973: U.S. stages 1973 Chilean coup d'état in Chile. Democratically elected President Salvador Allende assassinated. Dictator Augusto Pinochet installed. 3,000 Chileans murdered.
    6. 1977: U.S. backs military Junta of El Salvador. 70,000 Salvadorans and four American nuns killed.
    7. 1980s: U.S. trains Osama bin Laden[15] and fellow mujahideens to kill Soviets. CIA gives them $3 billion.
    8. 1981: Reagan administration trains and funds the Contras. 30,000 Nicaraguans die.
    9. 1982: U.S. provides billions of dollars in aid to Saddam Hussein for weapons to kill Iranians.
    10. 1983: The White House secretly gives Iran weapons to kill Iraqis.
    11. 1989: CIA agent Manuel Noriega (also serving as President of Panama) disobeys orders from Washington, D.C. U.S. invades Panama and removes Noriega. 3,000 Panamanian civilian casualties.
    12. 1990: Iraq invades Kuwait with weapons from U.S.
    13. 1991: U.S. enters Iraq. George H. W. Bush reinstates absolute monarch of Kuwait.
    14. 1998: Clinton bombs possible weapons factory in Sudan. Factory turns out to be making aspirin.
    15. 1991 to present: American planes bomb Iraq on a weekly basis. U.N. estimates 500,000 Iraqi children die from bombing and sanctions.
    16. 2000–01: U.S. gives Taliban-ruled Afghanistan $245 million in aid.
    17. September 11, 2001: Osama bin Laden uses his expert CIA training to murder 2,977 people.

    Trump supporters have long lost the ability to distinguish fact from fiction.

    You seem to say that Trump is falsifying his claim for a much-needed victory to win his reelection. :xd:

    Regardless of whether Bad Daddy, sorry Baghdadi, is dead or alive, all terrorist organisations could be likened to the Hydra (or Lernaean hydra) in Greek mythology. The Hydra had many heads. If you cut off one hydra head, two more would grow back in its place.

    In other words, there are no lack of terrorists to fill the leadership vacuum. So the ISIS story will go on and on -- longer than one thousand and one nights. :sleeping:

    Kuwait has a parliament. My father was invited as an observer in 1962.

    Obama's announcement after we killed bin Laden was nine minutes. Trump went on for forty-eight minutes spiking the ball.

    It isn't Trump supporters that come up with lines like, "Gun control and animal rights activist, Adolf Hitler has died." In fairness, that is a joke. But it is the type of thing the Pol Pot left is doing. Man, I really don't want to get murdered and have my corpse rot in an American killing field somewhere.

    That was nothing more than sending in the Orkin Man to stomp on a bunch of Cockroaches. No US forces killed

    That actually doesn't seem like a very long press conference....I have seen them go well over an hour. I am just glad we have a open and transparent admin willing to answer questions

    FYI, it was Trump supporters that put up the false CNN news story. Not sure what your rant about all that other nonsense is about.

    I note that is a joke. But was the Washington Post headline real? Did they publish that this Isis guy was an
    "Austere Religious Scholar"?

    It wasn't a 48 minute diatribe on how effective the CIA, Delta Force, Kurds, and Russians worked for weeks in tandem to bring to fruition the death of al-Baghdadi, it was a 3 minute 'thanks' to them and a 45 minute "I should take all the credit" monologue on his 'wonderful greatness'.

    Nearly a year after the raid on bin Laden's compound and his death, Republicans were accusing President Obama of exploiting what they said should be a non-partisan victory for the country.

    Yeah that was stupid, still doesn't change the false accusations Trump supporters did with CNN.

    Actually, yes I did miss most of it only because as a rule, I find his voice to be irritating. Based on his 'speeches' of the past, I merely assumed that the majority of his speech was self-praising and deprecation of the democrats.

    Except for one tiny detail. His excuse for not informing the 'gang of 8' prior to the operation is because he falsely claims that 'Congress leaks' and cited Adam Schiff as a leaker, That's a flat-out lie. Adam Schiff is chairing the investigation, that's why he's claiming that Adam Schiff 'leaks'. Schiff was a prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office and is a consummate professional, he doesn't 'leak'. But that's Trump's only defense right now because the impeachment inquiries are damaging to him so he's attacking the messenger.
