Defense Dept. Now Considering Combat Troops in Syria!

[PearliePoo2]

Breaking CNN just now

[nolabear]

1. MADNESS. Sheer madness!

[atreides1]

9. No!

Mad Dog, not madness!

I had a feeling that putting that over rated hack as SecDef would result in escalation!!!

Besides, sending troops into combat might take the pressure off of Trump! It's not as if he cares if American military personnel die...in some Middle Eastern shit box!!!

[nolabear]

11. That's exactly the posturing he would love. It's bloody insane.

We won't take refugees but we'll destroy their country further chasing ghosts.

[PearliePoo2]

2. More on this coming up after the break.

My question: Who will they be fighting with or against?

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Against ISIS.

Very high-risk idea.

[PearliePoo2]

12. Yeah, what could go wrong?

Would require cover from ground AND air. Holy shit!

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. The whole Middle East might explode.

It's clear he has never read history.

[get the red out]

3. Jesus!

On who's side???????

[HAB911]

4. Well that didn't take long......nt

[PearliePoo2]

5. Ground Combat Forces to Northern Syria!

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. Drumf is 'dying' to get his War President credentials as soon as possible

[leftstreet]

22. the AntiWar movement is dying to get back in the streets

This will backfire on Trump

[sunonmars]

8. absolutely not

[PearliePoo2]

10. Well, this is quite a little diversion from his treason issue, isn't it?

[NurseJackie]

13. Woo-hoo! WAR!!!

Hey, Susan Sarandon ... how are you feeling now? Remember when you wouldn't vote for Hillary because she supported the IWR? Remember? You said it "disqualified" her (even though John Edwards also voted for it, you supported him anyway). But still after all this, and after all the harmful things you did and said, and all the people you discouraged from voting... and your "belief" (was it even sincere) that Hillery was "worse than Trump"... I just wonder if you're happy now?

PS: Fuck you, Susan.

15. I guess manufacturing a terrorist attack in the US was too hard to do quickly

So let's just deploy troops into Syria. That will draw the attention away from the Russia story.

This is a hideous disgusting bunch of assholes.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

16. Definition of insanity!

[logosoco]

17. I am guessing they will use "fighting ISIS" as the excuse.

I get very irate when the government thinks they can stop or control a group of people in another place on the globe when we can't even stop people here from harming others.

Mark me down as being against this!

[Solly Mack]

18. Oh, goody. Now we'll hear how UnAmerican it is to not back a Russia-installed US President

during a time of war.

[meadowlark5]

19. And the Trump will probably put in place the no pictures of flag covered caskets

So the American people don't see just how many military troops will be killed in this, what I'm sure will be, botched escalation

[delisen]

20. On whose authority would they be doing this. Is our military fighting for Russian objectives?

Propping up Assad.

Making US a vassal state?

American soldiers to die for Russian Exxon Mobil oil?

[MrScorpio]

21. I should have invested in protest signs. Nt

[nikibatts]

23. Don't fall for the shell game. Another diversion by the 45 team to keep you from focusing on

Russiagate.

If this is something to be concerned about wait until 45 gets his report from the Pentagon and makes a policy statement about it. Otherwise proceed with the Russiagate coverage.

[OldHippieChick]

24. Over here, see this

shiny object. Forget all that Russia talk ...

[ck4829]

25. We had generals and military strategists say Iraq would be a piece of cake

Does anyone really wonder how the car of idiots will handle Syria?

[AJT]

26. Mattis has long wanted ground troops in Syria.

30,000 to 40,000 to start with.
