Monday, August 21, 2017: WATCH LIVE: PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDRESSES THE NATION ON AFGHANISTAN at 9:00 PM EASTERN

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

And NO nation building. Fine by me. What do we get in return?

[HiTech RedNeck]

A quasi war (UOFR)

[ObozoMustGo2012]

This war was already going on when Trump took office.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

President Trump made it clear restrictions would be lifted.. We are finally going to Fight To Win.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A world in which a lot of terrorists have gone to Allah

[Reily]

I believe one of the Barbary States did declare war on the US. I don’t think we reciprocated.

[elpadre]

I like everything he said and agree with him 100%

Some of comments on this site made wonder if was on FR or Dem. Underground.

[reformedcrat]

Excellent speech!

[grania]

I agree with you. It was a real good speech. How many times did he say "no more nation building" and "no imposing our style of government on others"? He was also real strong about Pakistan's hypocrisy and that India is more of an ally for us.

I can't imagine how anyone can complain about the approach laid out in that speech.

[Lucas McCain]

If it’s just more of the same, I’m against it. Too many good men have died or been maimed, for what?

If Trump changes the rules of engagement, and takes the gloves off, I will tentatively support it.

[MtnClimber]

He started with Charlottesville racist hate hoax and then shifted to the sand box.

[HiTech RedNeck]

To answer a declared war — isn’t that permitted?

[RummyChick]

Mcmaster did it under trump

Trump did nix hiring the benghazi talking points person

[connyankee]

I agree. the message to our nation was important and tied in well with our military mission.

[llevrok]

This war was already going on when Trump took office.

Yes. For 17 years. 8 of those as nothing more than as a political play thing of Obama.

Either kick ass or get out!

[RummyChick]

At least there is that...

[100American]

Heroin
Where do you think it comes from???

Why is it making a huge resurgence??

Do the math

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well that needs fixed. We don’t need any more Allah trouble.

[T Ruth]

It was a good, measured speech. Key points:

No nation-building;

Rules of engagement take the handcuffs off our troops;

Other countries will contribute to the effort;

No more free ride for Pakistan, no $ for sheltering terrorists;

If Pakistan wants to be refractory, US will side with India against Pakistan;

Not disclosing our tactics or time-lines.

[rbg81]

If Trump changes the rules of engagement, and takes the gloves off, I will tentatively support it.

I think that was a necessary step, along with getting tough with Pakistan.

I wonder how long before the MSM starts calling him a War Criminal (for taking the gloves off)?
