    That was before Donald Trump gave Turkey the green light to start murdering Kurds!

    I am going to just say, "No- That won't happen now! He won't be welcome here anymore"!

    They'll take us back anytime they need us. But we don't need them anymore -we are out of there. Mission Accomplished
    And you know this how?

    Turkey has wanted to do this for close to two years now, and you are trying to tell us that this weekend was it regardless of what the US did? That Trump had to concede cause Turkey told him this was it this weekend, years threatening, but this was the day, and Trump was so honorable he notified the Kirds via a tweet

    Come on, you are going to silly ends attempting to defend the obvious sellout

    I just bet that you didn't worry about Obama leaving the Levant to its own devices though. Hundreds of thousands died because of that but you think he was the new Messiah.

    https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-sy...-idUKKBN1WN1RW

    Trump's White House is really becoming the theater of the absurd

    Let me see if I got this straight, without consulting the Pentagon, Monday Trump notifies the Kurds by tweet that he is abandoning them, US's ally in fighting ISIS, warning Turkey with his "great and unmatched wisdom" that he would be the judge of too much with threats of "total destruction" and " obliteration."

    Tuesday Turkey disses Trump's threats and starts bombing Kurdish positions to include villages in anticipation of an armed invasion. Consequently Kurdish soldiers start abondoning ISIS prisons to defend against Turkish advances, evolving the situation from betrayal to threatening

    And Trump invites the guy to be his "guest" in the White House?
    This invitation is before or after Erdogan invaded Sryia?

    You're normally an idiot, but I agree with this post.

    Why invite him?

    War is a vastly different issue.

    But an invite is, IMO, tantamount to approvel.

    Is that good news to you?

    You never got called to the principal's office?

    Besides, this meeting was probably planned a while ago, and considering how Trump operates, I seriously doubt it'll take place.

    My point about war is, libs are lighting their hair on fire because Trump moved 50 troops away from the border to get them out of harm's way. Would the libs prefer we go to war with Turkey, a NATO ally? I guarantee if Trump placed more troops in harm's way, in an offensive posture, libs would be calling him a war monger. They seem desperate to goad Trump into military action so they can do just that.
    Every life matters

    LOL @ The Levant & "hundreds of thousands."

    I remember your ilk clutching your pearls and sobbing in outrage over the drones taking out various terrorists in the ME during Obama's tenure. Bad bad Obama, destroying America's enemies!

    It doesn’t matter, now, the invitation should be rescinded.
