It that right slick, no I am not her minder, it that there is usually so many brain-dead socialist NPC's that bark out the same bullshit you do...those who think a vote down or up is a significant response to truth they cannot handle as the perpetually fragile.
Do you understand political protocol.
Assad does not want to talk, he is obeying his taskmaster like his father did...the US on the other hand see the damage he has done to Syria by driving out millions and turning the country into hell.
" [...] blazing her own trail [...]
Really little Tulsi Gabbard is now undermining the chain of command to meet with a hostile nation, and enemy of the US. Is there a secretary of state?
Oh yeah, Mike Pompeo.
Dose she realize she is a the US representative for Hawaii 2nd congressional district and not the Secretary of State! That position is held by secretary Mike Pompeo...Syria is a serious cluster fuck and Gabbard's circumventing the proper channels is a violation of her office as the Hawaian representative to the House.
You do understand that the US is a democracy? Not some socialist anarchist state...
If there is no order then it is disorder...
I say her Socialist values have corrupted her mind into thinking that Assad as an ardent Islamic Socialist is her friend.
He is not...he is a war criminal at the least...
As a member of the US congress, Tulsi Gabbard is responsible for decisions on whether to declare war against another nation. She is certainly not the first US congressperson to embark on a first-hand fact finding mission so that she could make an informed decision. That includes, eeeeek, talking to our alleged enemy in order to hear all sides. It's kind of pointless to go on a mission like that and only talk to the side that agress with us, don't you think? I mean you might as well just walk over to the CIA HQ and get your opinion from them.
Assad may be a war criminal. He's still the elected leader of a sovereign nation and someone who controls one side of the conflict. Hard to really understand that side without talking to its leaders. Or I suppose you can just automatically and unequivocally accept whatever the US establishment says the other side is thinking and write them off as socialists and Islamic terrorists and war criminals. By which logic we shouldn't be talking to the leaders of Saudi Arabia or Israel either. We probably shouldn't even be talking to ourselves considering how many war crimes the leaders of this country have committed over the last two decades.
well said, ctpatriot! Tulsi Gabbard is regarded highly by her constituents for good reason. If only there were more like her!
