    America's involvement in Syria was all about regime change.

    Syria was Obama's regime change # 3.

    Just another Obama regime change that just didn't work out as Obama wanted.

    Any time you attach a bayonet to a rifle, it becomes an assault weapon.

    If I remember correctly, the last bayonet assault was conducted by British troops in Afghanistan.

    I like the ones where you fold the bayonet out, less stuff to lose...

    Is that the only reason you'd prefer trump over a normal, intelligent adult? Trump does speak his mind, and god bless him for it, we get to know what a moron he really is. Reminds me of a Lincoln quote.

    Obama hasn’t been president since January 2017. Is that why we were there still?

    There you go, disingenuously putting words into Tulis's mouth. What a dishonest person you are.

    Listen if she thinks fighting ISIS is a regime change war then she should say so. But regime change hasn’t been the goal in years

    I can assure you that she has a better grasp of what's going on in Syria than you do.
    Anyway, Tulsi's point is that we should get out of the regime change business. And she's right, it's been abject failure after failure. If you want to criticize her then at least engage the point she was making and stop with the strawman bullshit.

    So we should just ignore that regime change hasn’t been the reason we had troops there since 2017?

    I don't have any crayons handy but I'll try one more time to explain this to you

    Gabbards point: the recent Kurdish deaths stem from US regime change efforts (as early as 2011 - she freaking explicitly states this!). If we had never tried to overthrow Assad then the events of the last few weeks would never have occurred. Ergo we should not try to overthrow existing regimes. She is declaring her stance on a FOREIGN POLICY issue!!! She was very clearly criticizing past and present United States regime change policy NOT trump per se! ffs, do you get it?

    I like him precisely because he doesn't talk like a stuffy politician. I love that he lacks polish and refinement. He speaks his mind, and doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks. I wish all politicians were like that instead of the two faced liars they all are. Tell me the ****ing truth, not what the political winds are blowing towards today.

    That was the main reason why I went with Trump, Trump rejects cultural-marxism and isn't politically correct.

    Securing our borders and upholding the Constitution by enforcing our immigration laws was another reason.

    Trump is also anti globalism and that makes three.

    Excellent response. So many with TDS are blinded by everything except their hatred for their president. Gabbards is a very intriguing candidate.

    Truman is no longer President but we still have troops in Germany, Japan and South Korea.

    I completely agree! However this, in and of itself, does not make a good president.

    You don't remember that all changing when the red line worked as well as a gun free zone? The US mission had changed to acceptance that Assad would remain.

    Good for you, you're getting exactly what you wanted.
    I'll take someone who is not a blithering idiot, thank you.

    Obama's regime change #3 failed, Assad remains in power.

    But what evolved during Obama's attempted regime change was that ISIS adopted terrorism and conducted terrorist attacks in Europe and the USA (San Bernardino)

    After Donald Trump took the oath of office as POTUS, Trump rescinded Obama's politically correct rules of engagement that favored ISIS and allowed the commanders in the field to decide what the ROE would be for American troops in Syria.

    Under Trump by allowing the U.S. military to do their job without having their hands tied behind their backs, ISIS (Islamic State Iraq Syria) no longer has a state in Iraq or Syria today.

    But ISIS fighters still exist today by the thousands.

    If there's one place that needs regime change, it's Germany.

    Angela Merkel has to be removed from power.

    There seems to be a lot of blithering from those who didn't vote for him.

    Maybe consider voting for Trump just as a vote against those other dems? ;)
