Need to embellish like this or to just flat out lie if you want to call it what it is. especially because what was the purpose of yesterday was to be somewhat of a triumphant first trip overseas to a military outpost. and that would have been suitable in its own right. he would have cleared the very low bar a commander in chief needs to clear but he feels the need to embellish on top of that. one thing i go back to and this is in the comments about the pay raises but also patrick shanahan, the incoming acting dod secretary is how much everything in his world view is tied towards the issue of money and finances. with the military, it s not about the strategic mission. it s about the pay raise that you re getting. with shanahan, he will be good in the post because he cut great deals while at boeing. and donald trump sees the world through the lens of money. and that s why he s rationalized the drawdown in syria and tons of different things, including keeping the acting secretary of defen ....

World complete whiplash. because what we d had is for a period of weeks a foreign policy articulated by the national security adviser and the secretary of state about us staying in syria and staying there somewhat indefinitely and even expanding the mission to include countering iran. and then you have the president of the united states pulling the rug out from under his own policy. so if you re allies with the united states and you ve been in the counterisis fight, you have no idea which way the united states is going. if you are people who fought with us on the ground in syria like the kurdish fighters who ve really done most of the grunt work against isis, you ve been hung out to dry and you are threatened by turkish troops coming into your territory. so again, even if you support as i do some phased drawdown of u.s. forces in syria the way this president went about doing it breeds chaos. nobody knows who to call to find out what the position of the united states is. we don t have a ....
