NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell Calls For ‘Comprehensive Response’ in Syria: Trump ‘Has to Take Action’
Mediate ^ | April 9, 2018 | Caleb Ecarma

In response to the reported chemical attack on civilians in Syria, NBC News veteran Andrea Mitchell and other leading members of the New York and Washington, D.C. pundit class are — surprise, surprise — beating the war drums and calling on the US government to ramp up attacks in the country with a “comprehensive response.”

While appearing on this morning’s airing of Morning Joe, Mitchell explained to Iraq War cheerleader Joe Scarborough why she believes Trump should follow the in the footsteps of America’s other 21st Century presidents leap further into the conflict in the Middle East:

“There’s no question that now all these years later it is Donald Trump’s challenge. And the problem is that he as John McCain pointed out, did say to the distress of his own Pentagon that he’s going to pull out our 2,000 troops and he wants it to be done in months not years. So after signaling weakness and watching Putin and Erdogan, and Rouhani meeting and almost celebrating their victory and their control over Syria, now he has to take action. He’s spoken to Macron. What he ought to do is a coordinated action. The Israelis, most likely, are the ones who struck in the last 48 hours. But now there has to be a comprehensive response.

Andrea Mitchel is not worth listening to on any subject. If she had a brain cell, I would be surprised.

Their plan is to first neutralize Syria then Iran.

It's unlikely they'll skip those two steps but never say never.

Is Andrea Mitchell going to encourage her great grandson and great granddaughter to enlist so they can serve in the military for this purpose?

That’s enough to tell me this is a bad idea.

What is wrong with this? I’ll start a list. Where was Andrea Mitchell when Obama got out his red crayon and drew a line for Assad to dance over? Then another one is, why is anyone paying attention to Andrea Mitchell? And a third one is, are we at all sure that she is still alive? Maybe her face paint appears to move in the flickering, strong lights of the studio. But in reality she has been dead for years. And lastly, I am wondering if there is proof other than that one video. I would like to be sure before we bomb the crap out of something or somebody. Do we know the video is real, and do we know who sent the poison. This could easily be a leak from a factory chlorine tank and not a chemical weapon.

She is a deep state mouthpiece. The deep state makes all kind of money off conflicts (arms sales, relief aid pilferage, human trafficking, etc.) and they need a conflict as Trump is attempting to dry up their other spigots.

You may not listen to her but she has an audience and she's in the inner circles of media and government.

Like it or not she's in a position of influence and her opinions need to known, taken seriously, and it's our duty to know what she's saying (she is the voice of the Democrats) and call her out.

I had heard that he was supposed to be Rupert Murdoch ... He struck me as more of a CNN type though ;-). The movie itself was awful ... The actor that played the bad guy did a good job despite the horribly written story.

well, suit up, Andrea. Don’t forget your helmet. We’ll be along as soon as y’all find some liberal kids that can actually make it thru boot. And because half of them claim anxiety or some other made up phobias, we’ll be sure to send them first so they won’t have so much to remember or experience.

The actor was fine, but he was a weak bad guy. A media guy, really!

Yes the cabal has been clamoring for it so you know something is rotten.

These people are trying to trip the President into doing something actionable. They would trash this nation to destroy one man. Mueller is practically begging President Trump to fire him, and now NBC wants to goad him into rash action in Syria. Absolutely evil and despicable.

SUPPOSED TO, but I'm only in my mid sixties, I don't remember when they shied away from driving the news ever further leftward.

MSNBC. So much for the old peace-loving, anti-war left.

Yeah, whatever happened to diplomacy? Going to the United Nations for a "resolution?" Sending in Hans Blix and his merry band of UN weapons inspectors?

Why the "rush to war," Andrea?
