Mr. President, please no more idiotic wars in the Middle East.
We don’t need to be supporting the crazed Wahhabi Saudis in their bombing of the Houthis.
Another war in the Middle East, unless our forces are directly attacked, will result in Trump losing all credibility with a very significant percentage of the electorate including myself.
He already has vowed to wipe out Isis and Islamic terrorists from the face of the earth. Repeated many times.
Can’t wait to never trust you. Done.
Go listen to some of Mattis’s speeches. The main source of support for radical, political Islam is Iran. The war on terror is not likely to be over till Iran is over. At least that is the way I read what Mattis has said.
He has also noted that more muslims have been killed by these evil people than non muslims. He has fought side by side with muslim allies, and he doesn’t believe in deserting them. He specifically has mentioned Jordan, and criticized Obama for not recognizing when they condemned the radicals and showed support.
Way back years ago, Iran accused USA of shooting down a civilian airplane. They declared a Fatwa and decreed that 10 planes must be crashed to even the score.
The first was Pan Am over Lockerbie Scotland. TWA 800 also counts I think, because Lil George Stephenapolas was talking about terrorist attacks, and included it in the list he was talking about.
There were four planes accomplished for the 9/11 attacks. They won’t quit until the fatwa is over. Not saying I agree, but just adding info to the conversation. I’m truly hoping that Mattis will have some other way to get the job done too-get out of the Middle East.
Houthis, are they Iran proxies? Who is arming them?
The U.S. would do well to steer clear of a foreign policy that is driven by knuckleheads like Lindsey Graham (R-Saudi Arabia) and John McCain (R-ISIS). I would have hoped that the election of Donald Trump would severely diminish the foreign ownership of our government.
The last thing we need is war with Iran.
I don’t, nor do I think anyone has a good answer on what to do with Iran in the short term.
Sanctions? Useless unless it’s global.
Wonder if we can shoot down their missiles over the sea?
