Oh spare us the histrionics! Would you rather have your hero send your tail to Saudi Arabia like a few thousand of your brothers and sisters in arms? Why? Trump explained when asked. Trump said because Saudi Arabia is paying for it "and more". You're nothing but a mercenary to Trump. Our soliders' blood and sacrifice are his to make a buck off. Backing an ally is not a profit center but selling our army to the people who backed the 9/11 bombers is.

Why did he wait so long? I'm not a warmonger and hate all of these wars. I'm always suspicious with him because he does nothing that it doesn't benefit him. There is always somebody pulling his puppet strings.

Hooray for Lazy Lemmings. How about actually educating yourself and listing to what he said instead of waiting for someone else to tell you what to think?

The war and its preparations for the war started under Bush and continued under Obama and Trump. That ambassador posted by Obama traveled the country providing encrypted satellite phones to political and militant opposition groups in his so-called outreach.

The U.S. money for Syrian opposition figures began flowing under President George W. Bush after he effectively froze political ties with Damascus in 2005. The financial backing has continued under President Obama, even as his administration sought to rebuild relations with Assad. In January, the White House posted an ambassador to Damascus for the first time in six years.

Sounds like Trump got this news at the time of a WH meeting on Syria attended by Schemer and Pelosi. He lost it calling Pelosi a "third rate politician" ... said "there are communists now involved." And that "You guys might like that."

Is the EU arm broken? Is that why they are not telling their fellow members EU country to stop? Who annointed the US to do it other than the TDS crowd? What is the UN for if it doesn't handle its own business? The US isn't owned by the TDS nuts and they don't get to dictate what US policy is... The arrogance...

Dems want Donald to enter us into another middle east war, so they can then claim they were against it and use it during the campaign. Just like they want a recession for political purposes. It worked well for them in 2008.

I love seeing this debate front and center in US politics, because the majority of Americans agree that our involvement over there should be scaled back and they have a 20 year record of proof why.

Where do you get your claim? I don't know of anyone who wants another war. Or is this just a throwback line when you don't know what else to say?

The economy was about to implode in 2008. You think the Dems planned that? LOL. BTW, I think Obama should have just let it alone and let the chips fall where they may. Instead we've put off the inevitable.
