We Tried To Tell You Democrats

[DarkFury]

But you would not listen and Obama and Hillary are going to war. You kept saying Putin is the "rights" hero and we kept saying let him have the mess. Well as WE on the right predicted its coming home to haunt him. Maybe you SHOULD listen BEFORE you get us into that alright?

"President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s most notorious gambler, has rolled the dice in Syria’s civil war. At first glance, he seems to have come up with a seven: By boldly deploying the newest weapons in his arsenal in order to save Bashar al-Assad’s tottering regime, he has swiftly transformed the Kremlin into the center of Middle East diplomacy. His message is simple: Russia is back as a major power and a solution to this deadly, depressing war runs through Moscow."

So it looked good for him at the start. Just as WE on the right predicted but now things are changing.

"Can Putin succeed where others have failed? It’s possible, but unlikely. The Russian president has opened a hornet’s nest in Syria, and everyone, including Putin, is being stung again and again."

Islamic heat and backlash and NOT just there but home as well.

"A closer look at Putin’s gamble shows that his seven may, in fact, end up as snake eyes — a losing gamble that fails for reasons uniquely Russian, relating to the often ignored but crucial fact that more than 20 million of Russia’s 144 million people are Sunni Muslims, who naturally sympathize with the Sunni Muslims currently being bombed and killed by Russians in Syria. Any Russian miscalculation in Syria could therefore severely undermine Putin’s political power base at home."

Russia home to 20 million upset Muslims oh what a joy eh?

"For Putin, this poses an existential challenge from which there is no escape — a dilemma rooted in Russian demography and history. Most of Russia’s Sunni Muslims live in the Northern Caucasus, historically the scene of anti-Russian Islamist upheavals. Chechnya was the scene not long ago of two bloody wars pitting Muslims against Slavs. Neighboring Dagestan is another powder keg, part of the jihadists’ self-proclaimed caliphate of the Caucasus. Clerics there deliver sermonsconsidered sympathetic to the goals of the Islamic State — and as many as 2,400 young Muslims across Russia have answered the call, a development that sends chills up and down Putin’s spine."

A call to arms INSIDE his country by Islam. Just what you democrats want. Civil war INSIDE your country. And THIS is the VERY lesson you democrats fail to see.

"That is why Putin’s gamble in Syria is so risky. He may be further alienating Russia’s own Sunni Muslim population, and inciting the very violence he had hoped to avoid."

Its NOT our war democrats and does NOT need to start being "OURS" and IF its yours I suggest you go there. WE Republicans have an economy to fix and a border to secure. So WE are busy right now but if you have the time well grab your Daddy's shotgun and have at it. And remember write now and then okay?

[DarkFury]

Hillary wants to stand up to Putin in the M.E. why? Why risk our fragile economy with that? Putin bought so let him own it. He's the terrorist target now why would democrats WANT their attention? So they can make it better? Those people have been at war longer then we have been a country.

“This idea we’ll never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in Syria is fantasy,” he said Sunday on TV.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Graham practically pleaded with Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to endorse the use of U.S. ground troops against the Islamic State. “Do you agree that somebody’s got to go in on the ground?” he asked. “Can you envision a coalition of Arab states that have the capabilities . . . without substantial U.S. military support?”

Dana Milbank: Republicans gallop toward ground war in Syria and Iraq

Or this...

In the frequently-gridlocked Senate, both party's leaders predicted lawmakers would swing behind the president's request. "Not the least of which is the authority to equip and train Syrian troops to fight these ... evil terrorists," said Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

His Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said: "Over the next week, following a series of briefings, Congress will work with the administration to ensure that our forces have the resources they need to carry out these missions," he said.

Congress voices support for Obama's call to battle Islamic state militants

Or this...

The Republicans were almost unanimous in wanting a broader war than Obama outlined. Sen. Jim Inhofe (Okla.), called it “foolhardy” for Obama to rule out ground troops. “There was a collective sigh of relief at ISIS headquarters in Syria when they heard him say that,” Inhofe alleged, using an acronym for the terrorist group.

[BlackFlag]

If Obama goes for a full invasion of the middle east, I'll forever wash my hands of him and consider him a disgrace. He was elected into office for ONE reason! And that reason was to get our troops the HELL out of there!

A few special forces for specialized missions here and there... I'm okay with that. But no mass endangering of our soldiers to fight over a wasteland packed full of religious lunatics ever again.

His Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said: "Over the next week, following a series of briefings, Congress will work with the administration to ensure that our forces have the resources they need to carry out these missions," he said.

Congress voices support for Obama's call to battle Islamic state militants

Or this...

The Republicans were almost unanimous in wanting a broader war than Obama outlined. Sen. Jim Inhofe (Okla.), called it “foolhardy” for Obama to rule out ground troops. “There was a collective sigh of relief at ISIS headquarters in Syria when they heard him say that,” Inhofe alleged, using an acronym for the terrorist group.

Dana Milbank: Republicans gallop toward ground war in Syria and Iraq

But now training and equipping the rebels has nothing to do with republicans?

Wow. Just......wow.

Equipping is NOT putting boots on the ground. Not even close.

Equipping and *training*. How do you think we train them, slick? Air drop links to youtube tutorials?

We have been using CIA backed Mercs. NOT our military.

But you would not listen and Obama and Hillary are going to war. You kept saying Putin is the "rights" hero and we kept saying let him have the mess. Well as WE on the right predicted its coming home to haunt him. Maybe you SHOULD listen BEFORE you get us into that alright?

"President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s most notorious gambler, has rolled the dice in Syria’s civil war. At first glance, he seems to have come up with a seven: By boldly deploying the newest weapons in his arsenal in order to save Bashar al-Assad’s tottering regime, he has swiftly transformed the Kremlin into the center of Middle East diplomacy. His message is simple: Russia is back as a major power and a solution to this deadly, depressing war runs through Moscow."

So it looked good for him at the start. Just as WE on the right predicted but now things are changing.

"Can Putin succeed where others have failed? It’s possible, but unlikely. The Russian president has opened a hornet’s nest in Syria, and everyone, including Putin, is being stung again and again."

Islamic heat and backlash and NOT just there but home as well.

"A closer look at Putin’s gamble shows that his seven may, in fact, end up as snake eyes — a losing gamble that fails for reasons uniquely Russian, relating to the often ignored but crucial fact that more than 20 million of Russia’s 144 million people are Sunni Muslims, who naturally sympathize with the Sunni Muslims currently being bombed and killed by Russians in Syria. Any Russian miscalculation in Syria could therefore severely undermine Putin’s political power base at home."

Russia home to 20 million upset Muslims oh what a joy eh?

"For Putin, this poses an existential challenge from which there is no escape — a dilemma rooted in Russian demography and history. Most of Russia’s Sunni Muslims live in the Northern Caucasus, historically the scene of anti-Russian Islamist upheavals. Chechnya was the scene not long ago of two bloody wars pitting Muslims against Slavs. Neighboring Dagestan is another powder keg, part of the jihadists’ self-proclaimed caliphate of the Caucasus. Clerics there deliver sermonsconsidered sympathetic to the goals of the Islamic State — and as many as 2,400 young Muslims across Russia have answered the call, a development that sends chills up and down Putin’s spine."

A call to arms INSIDE his country by Islam. Just what you democrats want. Civil war INSIDE your country. And THIS is the VERY lesson you democrats fail to see.

"That is why Putin’s gamble in Syria is so risky. He may be further alienating Russia’s own Sunni Muslim population, and inciting the very violence he had hoped to avoid."

Its NOT our war democrats and does NOT need to start being "OURS" and IF its yours I suggest you go there. WE Republicans have an economy to fix and a border to secure. So WE are busy right now but if you have the time well grab your Daddy's shotgun and have at it. And remember write now and then okay?

Putin’s Muslim Nightmare

and we still wouldn't vote for you rightwingnut, theocratic, anti-choice, misogynist, bigoted teatards.

Uh huh. You twats are just pissed because Putin is using your boy president for a toy. He's beating your shiny negro like a runaway slave.

Wait....now republicans are *against* the use of US military force?

What is in Syria for you? I have nothing there.

So this *didn't* happen?

“This idea we’ll never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in Syria is fantasy,” he said Sunday on TV.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Graham practically pleaded with Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to endorse the use of U.S. ground troops against the Islamic State. “Do you agree that somebody’s got to go in on the ground?” he asked. “Can you envision a coalition of Arab states that have the capabilities . . . without substantial U.S. military support?”

Actually Republicans are gleefully stepping aside to let Buckwheat step on his own dick. It seems his Nobel Peace Prize is a bit tarnished now.

Prove it.

Because recent history is not your friend.

President Barack Obama will send as many as 450 more U.S. military personnel to train Iraqi forces combating Islamic State militants, as his administration adjusts its strategy to contain the extremist group.

When the Salvadorans called for U.S. assistance, the U.S. Army focused on training El Salvadoran Army units using a variety of methods. The Americans trained a series of immediate reaction battalions (IRBs) in 1981 and 1982 to help stem the tide. Many of the trainers of these units included members of the newly revitalized Army Special Forces that had almost been eliminated after Vietnam.

In May 1961, Kennedy sent 400 U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) troops into South Vietnam's Central Highlands to train Montagnard tribesmen in counterinsurgency tactics. He also tripled the level of aid to South Vietnam.
