The Memo That Helped Kill a Half Million People in Syria

safe_image.php


The memo shows the advice Hillary Clinton was getting to plunge the U.S. deeper into the Syrian war. As Trump seeks to extricate the U.S. the memo has again become relevant, writes Daniel Lazare.

Way too much to quote here, but a good read.

Trump flip-flops on Syria, tells Congress he agrees ‘100%’ with keeping US troops in region
In December the president announced withdrawing all troops from country
Two months after President Donald Trump announced all American troops would be leaving Syria, the commander-in-chief backpedalled on his decision in a letter to Congress, stating he now agreed “100 per cent” with keeping a military presence in the conflict-struck country.

Trump Ends Reporting Requirement of Civilian Deaths from U.S. Drones

From the article:
The Trump administration was already in violation of the reporting requirement, which the White House ignored as a deadline came and went last May. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports President Trump has further accelerated the U.S. drone assassination program, with over 2,200 drone strikes during Trump’s first two years in office—more strikes than occurred over eight years under President Obama.

If that had been Clinton it would have been because she was an evil, war-mongering mass-murderer.
But it's not Clinton, it's that nice Mr. Trump who has no choice and is only doing these nasty things because he's been forced to. :confused::p

Umm, Obama himself had done drone strikes of US citizens. A few of us here were pretty mad, but crickets from other corners.

Obama was a murdering bastard but if continuing to throw up that straw man helps you avoid acknowledging that your hero is also a murdering bastard, you carry right on.

Building a straw man to invoke a straw man claim?
 
Good to see Bolton being brought into the light. But why is he even there?

I don't get it. Trump deescalates a situation that likely would have ended up in a major war with Iran, and you post hit pieces on him claiming he's a war monger?
