Hello:

Trump's first military operation was a total failure resulting in the death (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html) of a decorated Navy Seal.. Trump is covering up, of course..

He ain't gonna last long, is he?

Common mistake by new presidents with no relevant job experience: authorize a risky military operation in order to show how tough you are. Then claim that the operation was a success. If this operation was a success I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

Trump plays fast and loose with other people's lives. Not the kind of leader for commander-in-chief.

The government was using a diplomatic cover to secretly funnel arms from Libyan rebel jihadists to Syrian rebel jihadists . When I see something similar in Yemen I'll get back to you.

So Tom you admit the US armed ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria, but the same fight is being played out in Yemen, US backed Sunni Muslims fighting Iranian backed Shia Muslims. How long is this farce going to be allowed? From where I stand all that happens is they take this fight from one place to another. I think it is good all these jihadist groups are being defeated because you can't tell one from another, could Assad be right? Please don't point your finger and tell us how bad he is, unless you are going to examine how many George Bush killed and how many Barack Obama killed

The only issue I have with ASSad is that he helped kill Americans . He needs to be held to account for that . The other thing I "admit " is that the emperor's Syrian policy sucked . Yemen is a proxy war ;but it is too important a location to allow the Iranian backed forces to win.

Again with the propaganda, Did Assad come to america and kill americans? Al Qaeda did and you play fotsee with them in the ME. I am sick of this crap and so is everyone else. Putin called you on it and intervened and as far as I can see the american sanctioned slaughter in Syria stopped. Yemen is unimportant, whoever is in change is going to let the tankers pass. You are fighting a proxy war for the Saudi in Yemen. You are fighting a proxy war for Saudi in Syria. Be careful what you wish for. There is only one place america can be great

Assad and Putin are dictators who kill and exploit their own people. Throw in that nut from Turkey, and the Saudis, who brutally destroy opposition to maintain power! It's a complex, complicated, dangerous world Clete, so pick your side or bury your head in the sand.

I'm on the side of the people Tom, when describing nuts set loose on the ME you forgot to include GWB and BO, it seems almost obligatory that PONTUS will interfere in the ME
