Deep State hate for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard renewamerica.com/c/20972
The fact is that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, was in charge of an Obama policy that decimated the Middle East by producing an estimated 500,000 dead with seemingly endless wars that produced millions of refugees.
For opposing this policy from within the Democratic Party, Gabbard finds herself under attack. But Hillary & Company have picked on the wrong target. Gabbard served two tours of duty in the Middle East. She understands the cost of American involvement in military conflict.
Congress did not authorize the military intervention by Obama in Syria but objected when Trump does his constitutional duty by getting US forces out of harm's way. This validates Sen Rand Paul's point...US military presence in Syria is the result of an illegal policy.
"The Constitution is quite clear," Senator Paul notes. "No authorization has ever been given for the use of force in Syria. No authorization of declaration of war. No permission to be there at all. So if they want to insert themselves into this civil war, by all means,...
... let's have a debate. Let's have the constitutional debate. But I, for one, am not willing to send one young man or one young woman – one soldier – over there without a clear mission. There is no clear mission."
For her part, Gabbard has promised to continue "calling for an end America's interventionist wars of regime change that have cost our nation trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, simultaneously creating more devastation, human suffering and refugees
It is a charge that is demonstrably true but which damages Obama, not Trump. After all, Trump is trying to extricate the U.S. from this misery and death. This fact helps explain why Hillary and her Deep State backers are so desperate to smear Gabbard – and defeat Trump.
