What happened to the Democrat accusations of:


NO BLOOD FOR OIL!


America is a COLONIAL POWER!


We are just Israel's pawn!


So, now that it is Trump, the needless, and endless wars are necessary? Democrats (leftist progressives) are huge hypocrites and LIARS.

YES, like every candidate that has run (Democrat & Republican), I support getting out of the Middle East. It should be done in a thoughtful, methodical, manner so we don't have to keep interfering in politics, negotiating, going back and fixing what we broke.

Sadly, it’s why they need brutal dictators to keep some element of stability there amongst the crazy tribal warmongering Muslim sects.....

Interesting — at this point there is 100% agreement we should get out of ME.
I’ve never seen 100% agreement on any CD poll before.
And yet, the Dems are bashing Trump for trying to get us out.....

It seems pretty bipartisan in Washington against what Trump did though

If we went in to win and do it quickly and totally, then I'm for it. But if we're just going to be policing , then I'm against it.

His only concern is Trump Towers there in Istanbul, Turkey that uses his name. He has collected $10 million on that so far and wants that to continue. His only interest is in himself.

No one is bashing Trump for trying to get us out because

1) He isn't. The few that were removed and being effective in Syria are not coming home
2) They are bashing how he moved people out of Syria. So are many Republicans and Generals.
3) Troops numbers are on the rise in the ME they are not going down.

After the Russians were defeated in Afghanistan, why in the world did we think we could win. And now what, 18 years later (or is it 19) we have won nothing.
