And, what was the assault against the US? Weapons? Where and what, it was an open boat.
Has the media asked these questions?

Media could find these two and the widows of the other people murdered to get the story.

Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

And why?

Something stinks about this. What is the purpose of all these people?
