    Are you a leftist? I'll bet you won't admit it.

    I'll say your messiah is an idiot all day log, and it doesn't say anything about my political leanings. Trump is further left than I am.

    Like what?

    I have told you before that trying to make the conversation about the poster rather than the topic is nothing but an attempt to conceal a weak position, and no one here does it more than you.

    Are you going to answer the question or not?

    Trump received the information from the, which they made public as soon at Trump jumped the gun. ISIS still has a significant presence in Syria/Iraq area. You said the military was lying about it.

    You tried to mimic Trump by arguing to no end that ISIS was done (defeated) and that brining the troops home immediately was the best thing ever. Do you still feel that way, or will you change your firm opinion now that Trump has swayed his?

    Still not following the logic. ISIS controlled oilfields at the time. They didn't need anyone to buy them new tennis shoes or trucks.

    Whether they needed it or not, SOMEBODY bought them the nicely painted trucks, at least one from Houston, the nice flags and nice tennis shoes. Great photo op!

    It is a good thing. It would be scary if one person alone ran Foreign policy, especially if that person is easily manipulated like DT.

    I don't live in the Iraqi desert, they do. I don't know who bought their shoes and trucks, but I take what Gabbard says pretty much at face value--those are our guys, along with the White Helmets.

    Pretty much everyone in Iraq and Syria has shoes, but feel free to believe US government buys their shoes. Whatever gets you through the night.

    According to the news today:

    1. More troops being sent to Syria
    2. Withdrawal could be delayed indefinitely.

    Not my messiah, my president. Vast improvement over the last one.

    I'm no leftist, but unlike you I am not afraid to tell you I am a conservative. Your posts on gun control, immigration and anti-Trump rhetoric puts you squarely far left. But weasels never admit they are weasels. When are you going to answer my question. Since we are all in such peril from ISIS, are you running your kids down to the recruitment center? Or did you raise them to be gutless like you and let other die while you lobby to keep them in harms way?

    Why would I admit to something that is not true. Unlike you who opposes everything Trump does due to your politics, I think for myself. You should try it. Anyone who thinks between 2K and 30K is a significant presence is an idiot. Even 30K out of 60 million is nothing. If they are so significant, tell me what they have accomplished in the last year. List all their victories. It is far more likely he is keeping them there to control the operations of Russian and Iranian forces than ISIS. There are more than 500,000 Hispanic gang members in the US. That is a significant number. Should we immediately close the southern border?

    John Bolton completely contradicted Trump and said there's no timeline for withdrawl from Syria or Afghanistan so that withdrawl thing was just a friggin yank out of this friggin butt

    Just one of my biggest complaint about Donald Trump he just says **** to make **** up for the fun of it it seems like

    Trump is a national security risk

    I know you would not admit being a lefty, and according to your logic that makes you a lefty. Weasels never admit they are weasels.........

    What have I said about gun control?

    You are STILL trying to dodge the questions by trying to make it about me :disbelief: Are you embarrassed you went all in supporting Trumps "immediate pullout" only to see him back paddle?

    I removed your insults. It is the language of a weak, little people.

    And yet you expect others to admit something that isn't true.

    I agree with Trump admin new policy about staying in Syria.

    So, now you are saying Trump is an idiot? Cool beans.

    Did you run your kids to the recruitment center? We need more meat for the grinder. You going to do your part or are you just hot air?

    It was in exchange for the stolen oil. Bilal Erdogan gave them guns.

    No, it's Turkey's massing of trucks and tanks at the border that opened his eyes - and they're still coming.

    Anyway Bolton has left for Turkey and Israel to see what can be worked out so our troops will leave.

    Heck, it was Turkey who talked Trump into the making the "immediate pull out" declaration in the first place.

    I answered, I disagree with his choice. Do you agree that Obama was an idiot? There would be no need to be in Syria except for him.

    Foreign policy driven by petulance and conducted thru twitter is taken as "leadership" by his blind followers and defended by his agenda driven allies.

    The man is an intellectual, emotional and moral midget.

    I didn't vote for Obama, and disagreed with many things he did (or pushed for), but I agreed ISIS needed to be defeated, so I agree with him helping Iraqis kick them out of Iraq and fight them in Syria.
