Dems who praised Obama for troop withdrawal now highly critical of Trump
Dems who praised Obama for troop withdrawal now highly critical of Trump | Fox News
October 17, 2019 ~ By Ronn Blitzer
President Trump has met resistance from both parties after his decision to withdraw troops from northern Syria, but some of the rhetoric coming from Democrats is almost the opposite of what came from party members when President Barack Obama pulled forces out of Iraq.
California Democrats Rep. Maxine Waters and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for example, have been vocal opponents of Trump's troop withdrawal, after supporting Obama's efforts almost exactly eight years later. “As the war in Iraq draws to a close, it is my hope that this conflict will serve as a solemn reminder of the costs of war,” Waters said in a statement issued Oct. 21, 2011. “We must carefully reexamine our approach to national security and how we view the United States' role in promoting international peace and security. If we are to remain leaders in the world, we must always use our best judgment to determine when and how we engage other nations and other actors – particularly if we are considering the use of military force.”
Comment:
Hmm..., imagine that, Democrats and 'Deep State' Republicans love war and Americans continue bleeding to death for Islam.
Obama abandons Kurds - good. ~~ Trump abandons Kurds - Bad.
How Blatantly biased and hateful Democrats are...it's the aim of the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrats to keep power no matter what.
IMO though Obama was wrong to advance the 'Arab Spring' and Civil War in Syria and abandoning the Kurds - even a stopped clock is right once in a while. Obama’s Red Line, Revisited
Meanwhile Erdogan under pressure from Trump has agreed to a ceasefire with Syria... No loss of American lives! No soldiers needed. Just V.P. Pence and Secretary Pompeo. It would be nice if the PMS/DSA Dem Left just gave the President credit and stopped whining about things they know nothing about.
Facts about the Kurds....
~They are NOMADIC by culture....
~Between 25 and 35 million Kurds inhabit a mountainous region straddling the borders of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran and Armenia.
~They make up the fourth-largest ethnic group in the Middle East, but they have NEVER obtained a permanent nation state.
~The Kurds never achieved nation-state status.
Perhaps under Trump's leadership they may finally attain what they yearn for?
