if we still had a considerable force based in iraq, syria would never have gotten out of control.
the obamites intentionally (or just because they were incompetent) bailed out on a battle of the global war on terror that we had won.
if we had bases in iraq, syria would not have blown up.
bases were established, by the way.
and bases are danger free
Oh please.
The CIA was using Saudi/Turkey/Qatari intelligence services and ruling regimes to finance and execute the “so-called” Syrian “revolution” on our behalf.
Give up Charles.
Conservatives are waking up every day to the fact that their establishment is controlled by international finance.
Lefties are waking up (perhaps slower, I don’t know) every day to the fact that their establishment is also controlled by the same international finance.
think back to the bush era. the surge worked. the battle of iraq was won.
why do you think that the bushies wanted bases in iraq?
Syria wouldn’t have blown up if we were basing next door?
LOL
Puhleeze.
We fomented it like Egypt and Lybia.
If this is what Krauthammer is really saying, then he has not yet acknowledged that Obama’s INTENTION is to turn over every Mideast country to the MD and AQ, and revive the caliphate.
Exactly.
you are a freakazoid conspiracist.
I agree with you about Obama throwing away Iraq, but why link to the Krauthammer column? Just do a vanity.
it’s interesting that if someone posts a thought that is against the hive mind, that the hive attacks
I had to link to something. that was the closest I could find ;)
have the libertarians taken over? are there no conservatives left on FR?
U.S. needed Iraqi foothold that prez abandoned
You're welcome. B^)
So you’re OK with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda butchering Christians?
Turkey has half a million men under arms and a modern ari force.
And it is right next door.
Let the Saudis pay HEM to do it.
no, I am saying that with basing rights, the syrians would have never gotten hostile in the first place.
I actually agree with you.
I would not spill a single drop of american blood for these ingrates.
my point is that this whole “crisis” could have been prevented by basing rights, which the obamites rejected.
What was the deal with your libertarians vs. conservatives comment then?
That seemed like a “neocons rock” sort of poke in the eye to me.
By the way, I’m a conservative, NOT a neocon OR a libertarian... but intervening in Syria on the side of the enemies of America and Satan seems to me to be a really STUPID idea... do you agree, or not?
The bases I've heard about were frequently under IED attack or "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" attack. the soldiers I've spoken stated they had to constantly be on guard because you never knew when the locals would get hostile.
I think that the forces of a dicatorship slaughtering the islamic radicals isn’t a problem. I think it’s a solution to a problem.
