Canada also removed refueling and recon air support soon thereafter. Why is it America's job ??? You are obviously unfamiliar with sarcasm.

I dont have kids, but I do have some nephews that are too young for service. But then again service is not mandatory in this country. Have fun cleaning up another mess in the middle east America. I'm from BC. Others have volunteered. Why not you? Not enough outrage?

That's OK. Wrong. Obviously familiar with that and not approving of it either. Two wrongs etc. etc. etc. This is a serious blow to US credibility. Here’s what some Republicans had to say: Our enemies and rivals (Iran, Russia, etc.) don’t abandon their allies; if we want allies to stand with America in the future, we shouldn’t either. Honorable nations stand by their friends.

Harper would have stayed in the fight, instead of running to "police training for Iraq" and a half ass UN mission in Mali. Hell, Trump still did more to engage and eradicate ISIL than Obama and his "red line". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could reply to the comments of McConnell, Rubio, Graham, Romney, Cruz, Huckabee and Haley that criticize Trump’s action.

Keeping a modest number of soldiers in Syria alongside highly motivated local fighters is an efficient use of military manpower. The criticism today came from politicians, pundits and soldiers. Here’s Brian Kilmeade: Ominously for Trump, even conservative Fox News aired dissent. Host Brian Kilmeade described the pullout as “a disaster”, telling viewers of Fox & Friends: “Abandon our allies? That’s a campaign promise? Abandon the people that got the caliphate destroyed?” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/07/trump-syria-us-troop-withdrawal-turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzermandius19 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) I like how people who are against unnecessary wars are now crying that Trump is a dick for not engaging in them, and side with Republicans whose foreign policy they have been against for years. If Obama did the same thing, they'd be singing his praises non-stop, and railing against all the Republicans who oppose him, but because it's Trump this time, all of a sudden they are all for being the world policemen, and they love the Neocons naow! Obvious hypocritical double standard is obvious. Edited October 8, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Trump has actually done pretty well for no wars compared to Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama, who all started or engaged the U.S. in new wars. This was a campaign promise in 2016, so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
