    Haley'a rant at the UN security council was the equivalent of Colin Powell holding up a little vial claiming proof of wmd's. And just about as devoid of facts.

    Sadly, it might not work out for her.

    The Breitbart Fever Swamp would be able to use her skin color to convince low-information voters that she was a terrorist.

    Good for her.

    Russia is not our ally or friend. They side with evil

    Trump's cabinet > Obama's cabinet

    She is going to be great!

    It's about time we have real competent individuals surrounding a good President. 2018 could be a landmark election as we continue to gain more seats.

    Keep that train rolling. :)

    The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersh seems to agree with you.

    “The sites that are owned by members of the Western aristocracy don’t issue reports like that – journalism that’s good enough. They won’t inform the public when a US Secretary of State, and her boss the US President, are the persons actually behind a sarin gas attack they’re blaming on a foreign leader the US aristocrats and their allied foreign aristocrats are determined to topple and replace.” Seymour Hersh: Hillary Approved Sending Libya’s Sarin to Syrian Rebels, 4/29/16.

    Haley was a great governor for SC, I had no doubt that would she would make a great ambassador. contrary to what most of the libs said when she was nominated. It would not surprise me to see her make a try for PoTUS

    I wasn't sure about her when the appointment was made, but she was impressive in that hearing.

    I'm inclined to believe it was a 3rd party also. Assad certainly earn any decisive victory against anyone. It doesn't make sense Assad would resort to WMD's without hope of inflicting the "mass" casualties of armed opponents. Plus, Trump had just taken a step back from calling for his ouster. Someone wants US involvement. It ain't Assad.

    Al Qaeda and the al Houthis won't stay in Yemen. They keep trying to get into Arabia or else they are firing Russian missiles in to Jazan and Najran.

    No, I do not trust the Tea Party in any form. My message was pointed at Haley's work, period.

    We have those capabilities. So do our "allies."

    Innumerable chuckle heads in our own government, and their flunkies, have been hankering for a confrontation with with Russia for one reason for another. All of these people hate Trump.

    Trump makes a statement that we should not get involved in Syria, and a couple days later we are asked to believe that Assad has used chemical weapons on civilians. This would make Trump seem foolish and steer him back on to a collision course with Russia, indirectly. Or directly if Russians happen to get killed.

    Last night there was an ass hat on Tucker Carlson that admitted that ISIS was created by the vacuum we created in Iraq. Then he went on to explain that it's important to remove Assad in order to fight ISIS. This does not compute. How does creating another vacuum, and freeing up ISIS help to defeat ISIS? It doesn't. But it does push us closer to stepping on Russia's toes. Check out that episode if you can. It's almost funny.

    And we aren't so focused on Susan Rice anymore, are we?

    Good for Nikki Haley. She's not the first UN ambassador to do this, however:

    A great speech but unfortunately also historically ineffective coming from the UN. Fixing Syria will require occupation for however long is necessary.

    No. Assad was behind the first attack. Of course whether he's behind this latest one is a moot. Trump wasted no time.
