The Khurds asked for a rescue mission...................They have had our backs in the past............they have stood their ground while others have fled....................
70 hostages were rescued by our Spec Ops..............who were going to receive the same as we have seen time and time again................
The ISIS in and around the prison were killed................after leaving airstrikes destroyed the prison............
One of ours died saving them..........don't demean the courage and actions of our Spec Ops............They were there to save people who have been allied to us for quite some time.
My son's FOB in Iraq was Camp Warrior in Kurkirt. There was a large Kurd population.
My son had no respect for the Iraqis but had tremendous respect for the Kruds. A Kurd Commander gave him a Kurdish flag and that is one of his prize possessions.
Obama's Big Lie has nothing to do with support for the Kurds. The fact is that he looked the American people in the eye and said "no boots on the ground in Syria" and now he has boots on the ground in Syria.
He is not even presenting a good case of why he should renege on his previous promise.
It is like many other things with him. He is not trustworthy or competent. We have no idea what the goal of the troops are in Syria.
It looks like the only policy he has is to kick the can down the road for the next year so the next President can deal with the consequences.
