So, are you guys agreeing with Trump to remove troops, or saying that they should stay.......just asking for a friend.....

Very good speech. It's a pity the lemmings on the republican side were probably not listening or are waiting to see what the president will respond to it on twitter before they say or do anything.

Or waiting for marching orders from their Turtle Leader.

1. I don't enjoy that US troops are in Syria.
2. I enjoy less the spread of ISIL.
3. I enjoy less the thought of promises again broken with the Kurds.
4. I enjoy less the thought of the brutal Assad regime using chemical weapons against his own people.
5. It bothers any correct-thinking American that a reactionary imbecile made a military decision with geopolitical consequences without consultation from military minds and/or diplomats.

Going by points 2,3,4 & 5 it looks like you are susceptible to media propaganda. And your use of 'correct-thinking' recalls old communist regimes.

How much do you enjoy your country meddling with a democratically-elected leader and his chosen allies? Trump doesn't much enjoy this. He, like the South Park writers and classical liberals the world over, at least understands America aren't here to save the motherfrakking day, yo.

My goodness. Feeling a bit smug with yourself today, Mr. Holliday?

I'd leave you with a similar level South Park quote but don't think the Mods would care much for it.

You note what you choose, which isn't uncommon. Refer back to your response to me with regard to assumption and attack then accept your yellow card and return to the pitch. Game is still on.

i made a serious comment about how media propaganda can direct people into hating someone. Have you read 1984?

It wasn't a general observation it was a pointed, directed comment about me. You did not ask a question, you made a smug assumption about someone else. Have you read, "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten"? I believe there is a section in the UK version about WUMs.

i did ask you a question, but you're so blinded by your righteousness you didn't even see it.

all you've got is calling me a WUM. who's the real WUM? the one who poses thoughtful questions, or the one who calls the questioner bad names?
