Interesting to note the source of this article, along with the use of terms like 'flip flop'. Anyone else noticing a significant change in tone from Breitbart toward President Trump since Bannon's move?

yep..and it appears the talking point is going to be Nazi Bannon trying to take on Jews in the WH. Saw it on JPOST..whether at the behest of Kushner or not we don’t know.

Good luck to Breitbart if they think they can exist without Trump’s base. We are alreafy deserting Fox and Drudge in record numbers.

I don't this as so much of a "flip-flop" as a slight change of course.

I'm sure Trump's supporters will not complain about anything as long as the U.S. military presence is a quiet one and we don't see U.S. casualties in Afghanistan like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan during much of the last 15 years.

I'm also half expecting President Trump to cut and run at the first sign of major trouble -- but only after a massive show of force that puts Afghanistan further back into the Stone Age than it already is.

So, this author has decided that 93-million people are “unhappy” with Trump because of his Afghanistan plans.

Just in an instance, he surmised that to be a “fact”. No surveys. No questionnaire. No influx of mail/email.

It’s another version of an “anonymous source”. Journalists don’t care WHO says something, so long as it appears THEY, themselves, aren’t stretching the truth. As long as there’s someone to attribute it to, they’re “guilt-less”.

If two people are saying it, the “everybody” is saying it. If two women are for it, and one man is against it...it becomes a “women’s issue”.

Trump is right...news - almost everywhere - is “fake”. Journalists reaching for a Pulitzer...or a job.

But, they were sure he wasn’t going to get elected, weren’t they?

And Bannon’s 24-7 drumbeat of criticism rolls on. People who want/enjoy all Trump-negative news all the time must feel like pigs in mud right about now.

Nothing but spin.

They interview a few Ann Coulters and they think they speak for all of us.

My family and I fully support the President’s decision, and we are as much a part of the base as they are.

The speech was a good one. He laid out his reasons for his decision.

Folks, there is about one place and one place only that supports Trump on the internet.

It’s here. If we want him to be able to accomplish things for us, we need to support him.

Despite what some folks think here, his decision was not severely flawed.

He campaigned on maintaining a presence in Afghanistan and fighting regardless of what he said years ago in tweets as a candidate he ran on staying in Afghanistan and fighting.

‘Taliban become the latest to speak out against our president, following the mainstream media, Democrats, rinos, ISIS, Hollywood, the college administrators and North Korea. It’s never been easier to identify America’s enemies.’

First comment:

‘Let’s add Antifa to that list — Oh, my bad. ISIS is already up there’

No flip flop at all. President Trump campaigned on defeating ISIS. He campaigned against “radical Islam” and that is part of the border wall campaign. Hey Breitbart, remember MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN during the campaign rallys.

Look at the Breitbart homepage lol.

“Lindsey Graham: ‘I Am Very Pleased’ With Afghanistan Plan – If Congress Votes It Down, They’ll Own the Next 9/11”

-and-

“Paul Ryan: ‘I’m Pleased’ With Trump’s Afghanistan Decision – ‘I Think I Heard a New Trump Strategy”

We're 0-5 since WW2 and spilled the blood of our best countrymen all over this planet for 5 decades. You'd think,after 60 yrs, that someone would get a clue.

Other than possibly some changes to the ROEs that the state department will quash,it's the same old stupid shiite wrapped in a shiny new wrapper.

I'm not that unhappy - Trump cut off the graft flowing to Pock-eee-stan crooks... and he dropped the idiotic ‘nation building... AND he's setting us up to kill terrorists before they organize to come here to the United States.

I suspect as soon as President Trump's cleaned out enough of their nests he'll pull out of the hellholes.

While the president appears to have flip-flopped, he really just reconsidered his position after having deliberated with many experts over the course of months. This decision must have been a very weighty one for him, as he is a man who works hard to keep his word.

If he had not revised his position after learning more, he would have been called hard-headed and inflexible. He’s darned if he does and darned if he doesn’t, so he needs to do what he thinks will best serve the country.

I think the fact that he will unleash the military to fight a war the way a war should be fought, rather than a mamby pamby pc war like Obama conducted, puts things in a whole new light. Go in, kill who needs to be killed, destroy what needs to be destroyed, and get out. Done.

Is it all of Breitbard or just Shaw who seems at least to be consistent.
