So this sweetie is a propagandist.
So at the same time she is making decent points, she is also deeply mired in propaganda herself.
Given her upbringing, it's amazing she has any grasp on the issues whatsoever. Yes, there's some bias, but it seems that at least she has a fighting chance of getting to the truth of things...
One thing we are certainly not doing is leveling cities. We're wasting very small bombs (and risking pilots' lives) taking out construction equipment and mortar positions.
I think your historical memory is clouded. Except for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, there were no significant anti-government activities in any Arab countries until the U.S. got involved in supporting the “Arab Spring” when there were protests against the (pro-U.S.) government in Tunisia. The U.S. specifically encouraged uprisings against Qadaffi in Libya (despite his having become very compliant with U.S. policy in the wake of the invasion of Iraq) and Assad in Syria, which until then had been stable country (albeit through the suppression of all Sunni political activity).
Looks like she had a double does of botox in both lower and upper lips.
Islam is a disease everywhere it propagates.
Thousands of these "refugees" are ISIS terrorists who are infiltrating the West without a fight.
This is what awaits her and other women under Islam.
I’m not one for most prophecy — the world has too many prophets-for-profit — but the info on Amman is quite interesting from a Biblical perspective. I have said for years that we are seeing the emergence of the Esau generation, and the links between Esau and Jordan are unsettling, to say the least.
She said OUR military was preventing The Syrian army fom fighting ISIS and that we have no intention of defeating them...Now THAT is very telling and what we’ve suspected all along and she says it and she’s over there. Its around 4:30 on. This gal is better at reporting thew news than our own MSM
> Youd hit the crack of dawn General.
LOL
bttt
I don’t object to calling Obama a war ciminal, bit I do think it would be better if you give an example why why you say that.
The reason I mention this, is because the Left called Bush a War Criminal. It seems to me we should give a reason to a charge that serious.
Hey, I may break this rule myself at times, so I’m not perfect on it either.
I do agree that there is an effort to do away with nationalism.
Of course the U.N. and it’s minions still want us to salute them as they parade by.
The Gulf states do have money to burn. Frankly, a much less wealthy Saudi Arabia might be a good thing.
Any nation over there supplying funds for terrorist groups should be richly rewarded in real time.
That “outnumber” premise is an interesting comments.
You may be on to something there.
Some of what she says is true. Some of what she says is just twisted to advance her agenda.
The U. S. didn’t instigate those problems in Libya or Syria. Those two countries were countering their own people with force.
Some of it was over the top. The U. S. saw an opening and ran with it. It shouldn’t have.
Libya and Syria can work out their own problems.
I wouldn’t disagree with that. I was impressed by some of her delivery too.
Going back you’ll find that Tunisia was the first nation to have serious problems. It’s government was the first to topple.
Libya came next with rebel forces there causing civil unrest which escalated.
At one point the Libyan government felt compelled to take military actions, and subsequent to that McCain lobbied for the U. S. to arm and fund the rebel forces.
I don’t think we jumped in to help rebel forces in Egypt, but I wouldn’t be surprised if arms and funding from Libya made it’s way there.
In Syria rebel forces took on the government and was confronted with a strong show of force. Once again McCain lobbied for arms and funding. This took place
The idea that the U. S. funded these groups out of the blue, and then there was a problem, simply isn’t true.
It does fit the narrative of the region, but I think it’s our duty to remind folks this what the Arab Spring, not the American Spring.
While I do think it was wrong of us to jump in, we didn’t start it.
She’s calling all the efforts in those nations the work of the United States. It simply wasn’t. We armed and funded people on the ground there. That’s it.
For me, that’s bad enough too.
On that topic, as well as others, she was quite well informed. I agree.
I just don’t like the idea of letting it hang out there that the Arab Spring was some sort of U. S. covert (and instigated) action.
We stepped in after the main problems in those areas.
I do believe we were wrong to do so.
Using NATO forces to bomb the crap out of Libya when Gadaffi was in the process of eliminating his WMDs, two weeks after having supposed good faith talks with one of his sons in the U.S. about U.S.-Libyan relations. This at a time when Gadaffi was trying to clean out jihadis from Libya. Then leaving the whole mess to competing jihadi groups to take control of.
Look, I agree with your reasoning.
I think your point is too “inside baseball”, if you catch my drift.
Arming anti-West terrorists and funding them is a lot easier for folks to sign on to IMO.
Take care.
