20. Speaking truth to power is hardly 'bashing'

but since you cite no source, it's hard to know what incident you're speaking of.

Using our military power for defense and defeating our enemies is proper use. Going around engaging in interventionist, regime-changing wars, being the world's police, and nation-building is not.

There are two wars in Syria: One is to fight ISIS and al Qaeda and other Islamist extremists who have waged war against the US, and the other is the illegal and counter-productive war to overthrow Assad (aka regime-change).

This second war is putting us in direct conflict with Russia, the ally of Assad, and is actually aiding ISIS. The US should focus on the legal war, yes, and stop the illegal one.

Tulsi has introduced legislation to stop this illegal war (she speaks about the newest one in her speech); this is the earlier legislation presented.

Good. But don't bash your own party's president on a right wing network that loves it when . . . brush Jun 2016 #29

I'm not sure how my post gave you such an impression. I just stated she was active military. floriduck Jun 2016 #30

Didn't you respond to my post about her bashing Obama on FOX? brush Jun 2016 #32

No I didn't mean to. I was just adding a statement about her military service. Sorry it got stuck floriduck Jun 2016 #34
