To the Editor,
There is a group of people (the Kurds) who have been fighting mightily for years as our allies against ISIS, a barbaric religiously extreme group of people in Syria and Iraq. The ISIS group cuts off American heads and is our terrorist enemy, remember?
On October 6, President Erdogan of Turkey asked President Trump to withdraw several dozen of our soldiers who were working with the Kurds to fight the ISIS remnants along the Turkish border in northern Syria. The next day President Trump did as he was told, despite howls of protest within the United States about abandoning our long-time very helpful friends. With the American soldiers in retreat, Turkey brutally attack the Kurds. Many ISIS terrorists who were jailed there have escaped in the chaos. President Trump said that he is fulfilling his campaign promise to “end these endless wars” in the middle east. On October 11, Trump sent 1,800 more U.S. troops to help Saudi Arabia. So much for “ending the endless wars.”
Saudi Arabia has a repressive religiously extreme government. Saudi agents killed and cut into pieces the journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year. How exactly is this making America great again?

Crow because the twerps against POTUS policy did not have the vision he had. Even some Senate Republicans had to eat their bowl of crow.
Kim Wentworth says
Too funny. As of 10/28 you had better be having a FULL diet of crow.

@ Kim
“FULL diet of crow”
Why?

Kurds biggest fan has been POTUS. Tell me you are siding with the “boltens” of the world. Remember the shaft the Kurds got from O hussain?
Anyone critical of POTUS in the beginning has now got to concede to his logic. Oh, let’s not forget the past help from “them” Kurds. They were paid WAY above their pay grade.

//Kurds biggest fan has been POTUS.//
That’s why they threw rotten potatoes. Makes sense now! It was alternative celebration-of-the-U.S.-ditching-them-and-leaving-their-families-to-die.
//Tell me you are siding with the “boltens” of the world.//
No. Is that a Game of Thrones reference?
//Anyone critical of POTUS in the beginning has now got to concede to his logic.//
Oh yes, we’ve already conceded his logic is flawed.
//Oh, let’s not forget the past help from “them” Kurds. They were paid WAY above their pay grade.//
You know they died so Americans wouldn’t have to, right?
Kim Wentworth says
And your point??? People fight, people die. Why are you trying to make “these” Kurds hero’s?? Your love of the Kurds or your hatred of POTUS. We were there because of isis, NOTHING ELSE. Get over it. Barry messed things up Trump cleaned it up. Oh, what do you think bagdady sister is doing right now 😉

@Kim
//And your point?//
Dude, you do realize I didn’t say anything initially other than asking what you meant when you said ” FULL diet of crow.”? All I was doing was asking what they heck you meant and you go off all triggered on this tangent that had nothing to do with my question.
//Why are you trying to make “these” Kurds hero’s?? //
How am I doing that?
I just wanted to know what you meant by “Full diet of crow”! LOL
