    so you're not going to answer if you believe him or not?

    your the one that asked me, doesn't bother me at all if Trump lied, I pretty much assume most of what he says is lies.... but I would like to see the tape for myself rather than just assume a known liar is telling the truth

    I seriously doubt that all see it as a joke, i.e., too many can't see past the wrongful accusations of "fake news".

    Thanks, the man is a loose cannon and thinks he can do whatever he wishes without consequences.

    The world's greatest terrorist leader killed like a dog. Media leads with killing the terrorists makes the situation worse. Also the media says we should stay in Syria to kill terrorists. This is beyond incoherent.

    The Washington Post headline borders on treason. Why are people that hate our country and love terrorist Muslim fanatics in charge of our media?

    Trump may be the strongest President we have ever had. Nobody has had the kind of constant attack from political opponents carried by the mainstream media he has suffered and yet he keeps doing his job.

    Obama was brought up by radicals from the '60s to be just what he was. That you like him is a given as you are on the left side of the board and my dislike of his policies and who he was is equally a given based on my own views. FWIW I don't like all the treason labels being tossed out by both sides. None of these people are traitors but some on both sides are nasty bastards. I wish there was less hyperbole and more discussion but that's not the nature of a political fight of this magnitude.

    I'm talking about the demand of an absolute open government that the left was demanding from the Bush Administration. Obama had that in his platform, the most open government we have ever had or words to that effect. Now it's impossible to do and everyone that demanded it or promised it knew it was impossible which is why we don't hear about it anymore. Just to clarify though, it was a different time but the old guard Dems were there making those impossible demands. Now secrecy seems to have gained some acceptance by those self same folks. The only rule governing the hearing in process is that the Speaker, Nancy, makes the rules.

    Have I screwed it up?

One helicopter malfunctions and is destroyed, but the operation ends without U.S. casualties. Bin Laden's body is removed from the compound.

    The Kurds got a pair of his underwear to establish he was in the area.

    After he offed himself, facial recognition devices and our own tissue samples confirmed id.

    The Washington Post are vile America Hating Scum.

    ISIS Isn’t Dead Yet, And Trump’s Syria Policy Is Very Much Alive.

    [​IMG]

    As the American-led effort began to shrink the ISIS caliphate, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi began to worry about his safety more than leading his terrorist army. He delegated much of his day-to-day authority and rarely spoke to anyone beyond family and his closest advisers.

    The numb-nuts critics claimed that the Kurds would never work with the United States again and the President’s plan to handle military issues in Syria from our troop locations in Iraq would not work.

    The raid on Saturday showed their noggins to be dented. Al-Baghdadi was located using intelligence from the Kurds, the raid on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s compound was launched from Iraq and flew for over an hour, overflying cooperative Turkish forces.

    The day after the al-Baghdadi action, Mazloum Abdi leader of the Kurdish forces in Syria announced that the terrorist leader’s right-hand man and spokesman for the Islamic State Abu Hassan al-Muhajir was killed in a joint operation with U.S. troops in northern Syria. In other words, the Kurds are still working with our soldiers.

    The successful raid is very good news for America, the West and humanity.
    Too bad Hunter Thompson isn't around to slap some sense into our Fake News "journalists".

    "Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond." By Hunter S. Thompson

    Can the credibility of the MSM and our corrupt political class sink any lower?

    All of his successes are bad news for the leftists but not for the majority of the people. And the left still doesn't get the frequent disconnects between what he says, for a purpose, and what he does. Anyone who thinks this guy doesn't know what he's doing is nuts.

    Here's someone who still thinks it's all 'ironic'. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/27/us/politics/trump-baghdadi-raid-strategy.html

    Judging by how eager the left is to go with bizarre conspiracies (Trump faked the strike), they must know it in their bones.

    Our crooked journalists have become too crooked to think straight and just tell the truth even when telling the truth would be in their own best interest.

    The NYT is corkscrewing itself into irrelevance.

    only one is see spreading that conspiracy is you and maybe one other person - lol

    now I do question if Trump actually watched the video or not, but it will be released soon enough to confirm his version of what happened, but either way, this was a good job by our military, they cornered the guy, he committed suicide, he is out of the game for good - I do not believe this is the end of ISIS, but it was a blow for sure

    you think Trump is going to get out his magic markers, even if Trump tried to release a fake video it would be discovered fast, so doubt he would do that, if Trump was lying he will try to prevent their release like he does his tax returns

    oh yeah, sure he is, captain bone spur super strong man, really? lol

    our military is the best and like with Obama, Trump got to see that when he asked them to get a terrorist leader, and they pulled it off successfully

    we saw how tough Trump was when his own money was at risk in the murdered reporter scandal - Trump sides with dictators

    "Putin, Saudi Crown Prince high-five at G-20 summit"

    She was a Republican for a whopping three years, from 1965 until 1968. She was what we would now refer to as a "kid"; someone still trying to find her path. It's silly to believe these three years formed her political ideology since, A) she was a kid and B) because she stepped down from her position in the Young Republicans to become a Democrat.

    Clinton had been 18 years old for a whopping 10 days when Lindsay was elected. She had nothing to do with his victory, but it's interesting to note that Lindsay won, in part, because of support from the Liberal Party of New York.

    She was a Democrat long before she met Bill Clinton...

    Just in this thread we have lefties claiming he was already dead, or that Trump was golfing when the strike went down.

    You aren't reading very hard.
