Just goes to show

by | Dec 21, 2018

Like I always said, Obama could have told Robert Gates to quit if he don’t like it and order all the troops home from Afghanistan back in 2009.

Admittedly though this is easier for a Republican, even one with as many political enemies as Trump. You can see the argument is whether it’s smart or not, or because of Russia!™ or not, as opposed to a matter of weakness vs strength, as it would have been with Obama.

But this then only goes to show that Trump could end the entire war on terrorism right now. CIA-Pentagon out of Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Niger, etc., etc. right now — and then home, not eastern Europe or Japan fer cryin’ out loud.

Enough Already!

Return to normalcy!

Peacetime!
