    Well, most of it is on Turkey's hands. They're the ones doing the bombing.

So Trump finally lost patience and went forward with the plan, albeit in his utterly schizophrenic and melodramatic fashion.

    The bloodiest hands of all belong to Hillary Clinton and John Brennan. They're the ones primarily responsible for destabilizing Syria.

    Trump doesn't know what he's doing or how to do it. He's totally lost. He's surrounded himself with enemies and doesn't even realize it. He was the wrong man at the right time. Just sad.

    Trump is deserting the ally who did the fighting. It's as simple as that.

    It appears thirty troops were moved.

    Among the first to move were about 30 U.S. troops from two outposts who would be in the immediate area of a Turkish invasion.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
