it's an un-winable war and not for lack of trying by the ANAF.

Because, Trump lol.
Lefties would hate free college tuition if it was Trump’s idea. I’m not saying that to be funny. They would find a reason to hate it. Anti-Trumpism is literally that mindless.
At any rate, part of what is going on here is that Trump is rejecting some of reigning foreign policy orthodoxy. General Mattis is a good man but Mattis is about as Establishment as it gets. That’s why there’s such an outrage.
Well guess what folks. A big part of the reason the Middle East is what it is—is because the military/foreign policy establishment F’d it up.
South Korea is a viable functional state. we are peace keepers there
The US can take the blame for the invasion of Iraq, but not the Arab Spring or the war in Syria.

There’s a black slave market in Libya now. Imagine, just imagine, if Trump were even tangentially associated with that.
Obama called Libya ‘the worst mistake of my presidency’. Obama gets credit for owning up to it. And I’ll say this much about Obama—Obama made an attempt to stand up to the perpetual war enthusiasts in the foreign policy establishment.
Trump’s attempt is more pronounced, if you will.
Do you support Trump or the establishment?
The US had NO control over Libya.. and there was no way to keep Gaddafi in office short of a huge occupation force.
Trump is stupid.. He's just want to be the center of attention.

I liked Tillerson, Mattis, McMasters better than Trump.. They are at least intelligent and care about America.
Sometimes all your options are difficult and there are no guarantees.. Trump is stupid and vindictive. He hasn't given Syria five minutes thought.

Trump's decision to take this U.S. military action not merely without the approval of his own top military coterie, but strongly against their consensus may have placed Trump in center of attention.
It may not reveal to us that Trump is a dangerous buffoon. But it's surely yet another reminder.
EVERYBODY WITH A BRAIN WAS TRYING TO STOP DONALD TRUMP BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED, DARTH!
Particularly, all the Republicans running against him were trying.
The people running against him...the other top Republicans in the country...were all describing him as "singularly unfit for the office." The top Republicans in the nation knew he did not have the intellect, the knowledge, the temperament, or THE CLASS to be the face of our nation...and its CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO STOP HIM...because they pretty much knew he would be an abomination in office.
They were correct.
You creatures think nothing of betraying those who have lost so many dead fighting for you, but normal decent human beings find it disgusting. You don't know any, of course.

Frankie, Peter Strzok was a lead investigator in both the Clinton email investigation and the earliest part of the ‘Russian’ investigation [which all know is The Trump Crime Search].
Do you know why he was fired?

Yeah he has.
Trump has been calling to pull out of Syria for years—he was on Obama about it, years ago.
You’re TDS is such that you’re incapable of thinking clearly.
Trump can't even find Syria on a map.. All he's done is empower Iran and put Lebanon at risk.

You don’t know why he was fired or you didn’t care for the question lol?
Do you even know who Peter Strzok is, Frankie?
When you deal with this...we can talk about something else, Darth:

They were correct because the economy is good, because an historic criminal justice reform act was just passed, they were correct because they were wrong that Trump would have us in a major war by now? Wait, that’s a contradiction lol.
Just what the hell were they so correct about, Frankie?
And do you even know who Peter Strzok is?
