Well, Obama had the window of opportunity when Assad was at his weakest and the Russians weren't involved.

But what happened? Nothing.

That window has now closed.

OUR CITIES CRIME IS WAY UP AND WE'RE ALL NOT SAFE

FEAAAAARRRRRRRR! WE LITERALLY CANNOT WALK DOWN OUR OWN STREETS!

America's number one enemy at the moment is Donald Trump.

I still think during that ****show of a press conference it would have been amazing if someone would have pulled a Jackass style "stumble" into the roped off area and flail around while all the blank pieces of paper got scattered to the wind. Trump would probably still have had an excuse. "Invisible ink!! High tech security measures!"

Eva Longoria. Politically active, hispanic, smart, good looking, Texan.

This is hands down the single dumbest thing posted itt and possibly all of 2+2.

Good luck with that.

Lol @ lining up the celebs to run in 2020. Complete lack of experience and training isn't a virtue. We dont need to test this theory again.

Obama's in the past. I've seen too many movies because I figured to this very day the western powers could take out Assad in an hour, but are concerned about the fallout. But if Broadway Sushi says the window to whack Assad is officially closed (and impossible?), ok then.

Killing Assad would have negative consequences, and hopefully positive ones as well. Whether it's a good idea or not, it'd sure make me feel warm and fuzzy to see him taken out.

Hey guys I got a hot new take on the Yemen operation straight from PU

You sound like GWB 2.0

Your pony missed it's briefing.

Target of the Yemen raid escaped and us predictably proud of himself. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timei...hms-tmobile-us

We called it. Sushy basically saying "I like the soldiers who don't get killed."

Trump wasn't physically there, so compared to the SEAL teams, he's relatively blameless. Sushy knows what's up.

I know. I sound kinda awful today. It's easier not caring...Or maybe it's more difficult (the paths that not caring can lead to, I mean.) I don't know.

Boom! Gotcha.

Lol goofy. Go get some sun dude.

I think the 8-year-old girl has to take her fair share of the blame as well.

Not like Benghazi where Hillary Clinton was on the ground literally commanding those soldiers to die.

Wtf does "botched" mean anyway? **** happens it's war. That's why units do after action reviews after every mission. Sometimes Intel is bad, sometimes you get dropped off on a hot LZ. There are plenty of books out there taking about when **** goes wrong. The concern is if Trump rushed this mission for whatever reason instead of letting it continue to develop.

Blaming the soldiers or SEALs in this case, who carried out the mission saying "that's why they signed up to do" is disgusting. They aren't kamikazee pilots. They are individuals who accept a certain risk as part of their job. You think this dude wanted to get killed? You think that his teammates wanted it to happen?

Yo guys Nordstrom now at session highs, up 4% since Trump's tweet hit the tape. LMAO.

Get a clue while he gets some sun.

Your dude just made it harder to act in Yemen.

trump is having a good tweeter day.

The problems are always the same.

1. Taking out Assad by the US military require invading Syria. Putin backs Assad so you'd run the risk of the US and Russia engaging in major hostilities over a country nobody really cares about.

2. Promoting and supporting someone else to take out Assad raises the question of who? ISIS? The Kurds?

3. If the Kurds, then you run afoul of Turkey, who wants the Kurds to play nice and not get their own country.

4. If instead you support the anti-Assad rebels who are neither a) Kurds or b) ISIS, then you're faced with the problem that they, you know, can't win. So by giving them aid and weapons all you really do is get them killed more.

5. etc etc.
