I'll be speaking on the senate floor on the McConnell amendment regarding troop withdrawals around 5pm today. Watch live here: c-span.org/congress/?cham…
This resolution condemns President Trump for ‘precipitously’ bringing troops home from Afghanistan.
Precipitously? How laughable and ludicrous is that description. How could anyone with a straight face argue that declaring victory and coming home after nearly two decades is precipitous.
Finally, after 17 years, we have a President bold enough to declare victory and bring our troops home and the warmongers have the gall to claim that coming home, after 17 years, is precipitous?
These same supporters of forever war argue that if we set a timetable for coming home that we are telegraphing to the enemy our plans and our actions are too deliberate.
So, supporters of forever war have defined coming home after 17 years as too precipitous and condemned a planned withdrawal as too deliberate.
Apparently, these warmongers believe you can’t come home quickly or slowly.
The war caucus, Republican and Democrat, agree on one thing – American soldiers must not come home – EVER!
