But bombing has been going on for over a decade now in Afghanistan and none of our leaders have had anything resembling and out of the situation as far as i can tell. How many more decades of bombing until we can leave morally? If we cant leave until a stable Afghanistan. I think this is a permanent gig since none of our leaders seem to be able to come up with a Marshall like plan or defeat the insurgents. Same goes for Iraq pretty much... although i could see more hope for stability there.
Im not sure continued fighting for peace (those words... fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity-Carlin) is more moral then pulling out at this point.
Im more outraged at him for the lousy job of leaving Iraq and not implementing a good plan for leaving Afghanistan.
Im not one for wanting foreign intervention either but we have created a mess and left the people of the middle east being ruled by Islamic Tyrants who burn people alive in cage and chuck homosexuals off of roofs.
We have a responsibility and obligation to help them eradicate ISIS. This would be different if the target was in a town somewhere and there would be collateral damage. The outrage in this thread was over the top and knee jerk in a way that it wouldnt have been if Obama had done the same thing.
There is plenty to criticize Trump for and I mean plenty , blowing up 90 psychotic Islamists is not one of them.
I wasnt comparing the two leader more just the outrage I feel would not have been equal had it have been Obama. I mean look at the first post in the thread , you would have thought that dropping bombs was a purely a Rebublican thing , Obamas hands are just as dirty as Trumps at this moment.
Im sure if you go on a right leaning board you would see the exact same partisanship to be fair.
The situation in Syria is different not going to defend him there.
