Marines in Syria

So what ur saying u preferred Hillary's regime?

I didn't mention Hillary at all, but now that you have, what I'd say is that she and Trump are peas in a pod.

They're both interventionists: e.g. they both supported the invasions of Iraq and Libya.

If Hillary were POTUS, US policy in Syria would look just like it does now (which is also just how it's been under Obama).

So for you, little things like legal authority don't mean much?

On this topic, the idea that the 2001 AUMF might still be effective against completely unrelated groups in a different region of the world 16 years later is utter bullshit.

 

[undergroundrr]

I hate war.

And so it begins... to continue.

Paper over it with a token congressional resolution. I'm more unnerved over the failed, wasteful Yemeni raid that Trump swallowed hook, line and sinker. Qassim al Rimi was not captured and they gained no meaningful intel. Biden suckered Trump bigtime knowing full well the composition of that camp was a hardened position filled with women, children and livestock.

We are liberating them.

Liberating who from who ? I get confused .

Judging by the photos of 'collateral damage,' we're liberating their limbs from their bodies.

EVERYBODY needs to watch Ron Paul on this:

Outta rep. You are correct. Anyone excusing this (illegal and unconstitutional) escalation of force in Syria should GFTO

You can't be fucking serious...

We ALL told you before the election that Trump would be an interventionist who would continue illegal and unconstitutional wars in the ME... you and your swath swore up and down Trump would be "non-interventionist" and would return us to a humble foreign policy, blah blah blah...

Well here we are. Trump is a warmonger just like the rest of them and rather than pause for a moment of introspection at the fact that YOU WERE WRONG, the best you can come up with is, "u preferred Hillary's regime?"

 

[twomp]

No wonder McCain has been going back and forth to Syria of late. He probably warned the 'moderate' rebels to clear out.

Oh please. Troops on the ground is what McCain wanted all along. If anything, he was there to tell them to hang tight. Trump is sending some help.

Rep covered.

Ron Paul still to this day understands and communicates world affairs and the American political landscape more lucidly and deeply than anybody else, including everybody who posts on this forum, every pundit, every so-called "libertarian" podcaster. The Ron Paul Liberty Report is the least fake news you can get.

To reiterate what Ender said, EVERYBODY on RPF (well everybody period) should watch this - http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...-US-Escalation-In-Syria&p=6430951#post6430951

That's all they got. The same excuses always and forever....

WaPo
Marines have arrived in Syria to fire artillery in the fight for Raqqa

This is the Pentagon coming out of the closet regarding Raqqa and E. Syria.... they have 'plans'.

It's ALWAYS been about Raqqa.
Just listen...



►400 Marines illegally arrive in Syria ahead of joint Raqqa offensive with Kurdish forces

US deployed marines in Syria without permission of Damascus government

"The United States deployed US marines to the Syrian city of Raqqa without the permission of the Damascus government,"
Central Command chief Gen. Joseph Votel
said in a congressional hearing on Thursday.

“We are not,” Votel stated when asked whether US sent marines at the request or with the permission of the Syrian government.

“We are looking at that as an extension of the authority to operate from Iraq.”

Eeyup... that is exactly right... it really IS just 'an extension' of the 'plans' for Iraq
and always has been... still is....
to balkanize and puppetize... they NEVER let a little thing like Sovereignty get in their way.
They wanted Aleppo. (bad)
They wanted Deir Ezzor.

They will 'liberate'
then occupy Raqqa
with a force belligerent to the Syrian Government
using PAID proxy mercenaries (SDF) from around the globe
cloaking themselves with the Kurd 'cause'...
bringing in NGOs and UN 'humanitarian' food and medicine by the truckload
using C-130's round-the-clock.

It will be a CNN bonanza...
a hegemon 'Dog and Pony Show' like you've never seen...
night after night after night
for months
showing the 'compassion' of the West
to contrast the 'tragedy' of Aleppo
that they were unable to stop...
cuz Russia. cuz barrel bombs. cuz Assad eating children.
Get ready.

The Congressional Hearings were covering Africom as well...
their appetite there is the same.

 

[CPUd]

do they have oil in Raqqa?

 

[Ender]

do they have oil in Raqqa?

Yep.

 

[oyarde]

do they have oil in Raqqa?

On the lovely Euphrates , it is the leading cotton producing place in the area . Home of the Raqqa Museum and once the place to get fancy blue glaze Raqqa ware dishes . The Ancient section is the first of three sections on the ground floor in the Museum. I would skip the other two sections and concentrate there . Try the carp fishing .
