1. But, you know...

It was only small arms, so...

2. And the whole Afghan war was unnecessary.

Afghan offered to turn Osama Bin to The Hague. Furthermore, Osama was reported near the Pakistan border. We did not pursue that lead.

4. bin Laden was married to Mullah Omar's daughter.

The Taliban were never serious about turning over Osama.

6. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Fourth combat deployment? So many lives have been cut in their prime because of war mongering politicians, who only see profits. Now I have no doubt the US military will be used to "help" Saudi Arabia in their war with Iran. Gee, I wonder who will profit the most from THAT? The Saudi royal family must see the USA as fools, being used to help them, after they funded the 9/11 group.

8. What happen to the GOP that use to scream holy blue murder at any suggestion that....

.... U.S. Troops would be deployed to a region of the world to serve UNDER the command of a UN Force Commander.

Now the CIC seems to be ready to send forces to retaliate against Iran for the attack on the Saudi oil fields.

But it appears that Trump is moved by the fact that the Saudi's PAY CASH!

So our troops are now going to be treated as mercenaries (paid fighters) by Trump.

Ask yourself who getting the fu*king money.

For the right amount of money, I believe Trump would sell Ivanka to the highest bidder.

10. Who say he hasn't?

I doubt he would get much for the damaged goods, though. Like Maleria, she has been used up.

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. Another person killed for NO GOOD REASON AT ALL.

11. Rest In Peace SFC Griffen 1st SFG (A)
