“Our latest attempt to peel Trump away from his Evangelical base, so they’ll vote for someone who wants tranny men reading to elementary school students instead.”

The Kurds only aligned with the US because they were fighting the ISIS. Now they are back fighting the Turks for their territory. This has been going on for 100 years or more.

Why evangelicals oppose Trump over Syria

Do these evangelists think that it is worth American treasure, much less American lives, to defend?

You are free to suit up at any time.

You wont, because you rather have men go and possibly die for a mission of protection that they were NOT TASKED WITH.

Go lobby the UN if you want that. The US military is not here for this crap.

First of all, we have no allies. Politically these now caving to Islam pals of ours are not allied with the USA.

Militarily these same fair weather friends leave the expense of their pompous opinions on ME operations to Americans, to we tax payers.

Further, the pay back against Iran for taking out our gazillion dollar drone may have happened today, when I hear the Iranian oil tanker was sunk and the POTUS is deploying 1000 troops to Saudi Arabia.

POTUS knows what he’s doing with Turkey and they are staying between the lines Trump drew for them, or risk drawing a card that guarantees their own economic collapse.

The Kurds generally have fought with us, but the Kurds in Syria are a group of Marxists. Take a look at the video of them training Antifa members, who support them.

The YPG aren't like our other allies in the region, and we don't in general ally ourselves with Marxist insurgents.

We may have a common enemy, but the YPG are friends with Antifa and the communist left, not us.

Preachers for hire are a dime a dozen. Unless or until the US starts planting ‘ol glory’ on real estate protected and or taken, it is a waste of blood and money. Let's just import some Kurds and get them elected to Congress. In a few years the various ‘Allah’ contingents around this nation can go at it.

Pat Robertson is a false prophet.

You don’t think so?

OK.

Go back over the years and watch some 700 club videos if they are available. You will see, during their “prayer sessions” PR and his co-host/hostesses, closing their eyes and “seem to get a message about someone with a bad ankle, ulcers, etc.” This is NOT prophecy, this is showmanship and it isn’t from God.

God is specific when He speaks and He doesn’t speak to show hosts on television about you! He does not speak to some TV “preacher” when he/she holds show segment to get messages of God beamed into their brains, with the hidden agenda of bilking donations from vulnerable viewers who,through the power of suggestion, think maybe their ankles, ulcers, etc., are better. God is not a faucet you can turn on and off.

If God heals your ankle in answer to prayer it is because you, or someone who loves you and loves God, has asked Him and because in His sovereign will, heals your ankle — or like Paul, He may not, blessing you with this “thorn.”

Because letters are written and read on television by someone who thinks his ankle has healed (or maybe the letter is not from a viewer at all) does not mean that the host had anything to do with it.

But, whatever the state of your sore ankle is, your relationship with God is intimate and personal, your relationship with God is not controlled by some television host making vague impersonal pronouncements about somebody’s bad ankle somewhere.

Ignore Pat Robertson or any TV evangelical show that does this sort of thing. It is false prophecy and deceptive, cleverly designed to separate you from your money, and manipulate you into thinking this is someone who is God’s special spokesman on earth.

I feel confident they are full of crap.

If the kurds are so damned important, then they can damned well go to Syria and fight for them to prove their sincerity...

Pat Robertson is a nutcase. This evangelical supports pulling out of the endless military industrial complex wars. We have no interest or intention on actually winning anymore anyhow

Pulling 50 troops is not abandonment. We can still support them with arms and monies. Ask any South Vietnamese soldier...all they wanted was weapons and monies to take out their Marxist enemy to the north. When we took over war operations, fighting with both hands tied behind our back, they new the war was lost.

I would tend to believe Franklin Graham over Pat Robertson and Rev. Graham thinks Trump is doing a great job.

I heard Sebastian Gorka refer to them as Maoists. Chinese Communists.

The NeoCon Kingdom is 1950’s Pax Americana.

I suited up for many years, a full career. Save that condescending talk for someone else.

“I suited up for many years, a full career. Save that condescending talk for someone else.”

Actually I wont, Thank-You.

You want to fight in some Kurdish-Turkish war, then put it back on and have fun on your own dime.
