    How many Kurds would have died without our help?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    It depends on whether they fled or stood and fought. But yes, they knew our alliance with them was a situational alliance to fight ISIL.

    The Kings of Egypt, Libya and Iran were overthrown. Israel fought three wars. The Lebanese government was overthrown. The British, French and the Israelis tried to take the Suez Canal. Terrorists have a protected home there. ISIS. Yemen for 60 years. Hussein took Kuwait. The French were driven out of Algeria.

    Funny definition of stability.

    Iran never had room to maneuver until we removed Saddam. That was the biggest strategic error made since the end of the Cold War.

    That is only lip service.

    When the UK was attacked by Argentina, nothing happened.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA
