I think we would all agree that we don't want American troops doing the bulk of the fighting and policing in Iraq. I mean which group sounds worse to a typical Iraqi, ISIS or the Iranian backed Shia version of ISIS? Some day, you are going to have to decide whether you are a Democrat/ liberal first or an American first, I've noticed that Democrats are pretty quick to turn against and politicize while Republican presidents are in office. That's a bad habit that Democrats better address internally before slitting their own throats and losing a significant portion of country that it can no longer turn to and rely upon and call upon for help/support during serious times of need. It's really up to Democrats to decide whether they want to become aristocratic or remain Democratic like we are at this point. It's funny, as the liberals speak, I tend to see what the liberals are speaking about and afraid of occurring in America or America eventually becoming like a banana republic or fascist state,(01-10-2020, 07:21 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote: Dude, we are not retreating from the conflict because the last time we retreated we all experienced what happened and seen the icky results that occurred afterwards.
I suspect we are out of the region as we have alienated everyone in the region except Israel, and we don't dare base troops there or Israel invite us to do so. Trump has just alienated everyone, and we are apt to be out for his time in office, however long that may be, however much some like to meddle.
It seems Iran has admitted they did the shoot down. They of course have blamed the US, but there is quite enough blame to go around.
