Saying Iran was “fully responsible” for attack on U.S. Embassy in Iraq, Trump ordered 750 U.S. soldiers there + 3,000 more prepared for possible deployment. HERE WE GO AGAIN. Be very clear: Saddam Hussein kept Iran at bay & with our invasion of Iraq we created this entire mess

How would any American feel if we woke up to read that France, or Japan, or North Korea let's say, "ordered 3,000 troops deployed to the United States." Like, whuh...?

Our image of Commander-in-Chief must change; it shouldn't be "Cowboy in Chief" or "Brute Force Officer in Charge." That's the dangerous image that took us to where we are. We need someone who recognizes the dynamics of a perpetual war machine & understands the dynamics of peace.

So because he kept an enemy at bay, we should have turned a blind eye on the killings and gassing of his people. Hey, hitler kept Stalin in line so let’s just leave em alone, hind sight is 2020. Thanks

Finally, the “murderous, tyrannical dictators are good” take.

So you would rather see the embassy burn and our people killed? 3,000 troops is not enough to start a war. It is about the right size to secure the embassy and airport should an evacuation be needed.

He kept them at bay by keeping the entire region in fear and on alert. He kept the region from progressing to peace by making them afraid of war. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Wherever Osama is he is laughing at the USA. By our military reactions to #911 we weakened the USA substantially. $7 trillion out the window and more importantly many lives lost or shattered. Our idiotic actions have increased a “Fall of Rome” Scenario.

this is why i get people angry when i am against "Trump pulling the troops out of X Y or Z place" ... I know it's nothing more than a PR stunt and even if they are removed from X Y and , they are placed right in Z X and Y (swapping) ... no one is coming home when he does that
