    Trump is probably the least Christ-like person I can think of off the top of my head. His support from evangelicals is as baffling as it is hypocritical. If evangelical Christians wanted to further ostracize themselves from society and drive the percentage of churchgoers in the country down further, they couldn't have picked a better person to tie their stakes to.

    The fuck? How is anyone okay with abandoning/betraying the Kurds? This might be the worst thing Trump had done and he's just seeding a brand new generation of anti-American sentiment. The wrecking ball into American credibility is in full swing. Fuck this is frustrating.

    This is very shameful. But this is just the beginning of what you get half the country decides to 'burn it down'.

    There will be much more to come.

    I had some amazing cheese curds at the A & W in Sweet Home this summer. Actually the entire meal was great. Just a really old school A & W where they still hang the tray of food on your car window.

    They use to have an A & W not too far from Eugene on a pass through the Cascades. Can't remember the name of the little town. I presume it's still there. They've got an A & W in the Beaverton/Aloha area at a gas station if I recall right. And they use to have one in Seaside but it's long gone.
    When I was a kid, there was an A & W in Oswego right near George Rogers Park. I hated it when they closed it. They had frosty root beer in a frosty mug with car hops on roller skates serving you on trays hung on the driver's window. Yum.

    Well, Im sure they now realize that when we go after them that they will be hit hard. Why cant the other Muslem nations address them, they have the money and with a concerted effort deal with them.
    Groups like ISIS will always thrive and survive in that neighborhood unless they are rooted out by the countries in that region. And even with that, there will always be tribes waring against one another in that regions.
    We still have armed forces in that region that could react in quick surgical manner on a given notice.

    Well, we've seen how the Saudis handle warfare. And the Iranians had better keep their noses out of it. So, who does that leave? The Russians? Besides, it was us that those type of terrorists attacked savagely. I say - NEVER AGAIN.

    There is still an A&W at the corner of 82nd and Powell. It's a combination A&W and Kentucky fried chicken. I remember as a kid my dad and I going to the one on Sandy Blvd in the Rose City area and getting the glass jugs of Root Beer. Delicious.

    I saw several Military and Republicans were appalled at Trumps decision. Especially wrong is Lindsey Graham, returning to his old form of sounding just like John McCain.

    I fully agree with Trump, it is what I would do. I think he is acting exactly has he said he would, one of the prime reasons to vote for the man.
    Yes the Kurd's fought with us, against Hussein, Iran, ISIS. It was in our mutual interest. Although I am not at all sure it was exactly in our interest to take on Hussein.
    Probably not, more like and error.

    How ever, there is not damn reason in the world to say we abandon the Kurd's. It sure as hell is not in our interest to fight the Turks, even if the Kurd's do, good buddies they may appear to be to some. I do not think we should view the Turks as allies, nor enemies , it simply depends on whom is the their enemy at the moment, We have no stake in the every on going tussle between Turkey and the Kurd's. Trump is right, bring the Troops home. If ISIS regenerates because the Kurd's, Turks, Syrians, let them, then we
    may need to return for more ass kicking. But never stay.

    You don't say. Is there anything he could do that you wouldn't agree on?

    Yep, the wrong decision would do it.
    Example, backing the Kurd's in a fight with the Turks.

    Except, U.S. foreign policy created the problem. Just like in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, etc. Why do people ignore facts? The Middle East has been destroyed by U.S. foreign policy for decades.
