Is Trump Enlisting in the War Party? -Pat Buchanan

By firing off five dozen Tomahawk missiles at a military airfield, our “America First” president may have plunged us into another Middle East war that his countrymen do not want to fight.
Thus far Bashar Assad seems unintimidated. Brushing off the strikes, he has defiantly gone back to bombing the rebels from the same Shayrat air base that the U.S. missiles hit.
Trump “will not stop here,” warned U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Sunday. “If he needs to do more, he will.”
quote:
Now, that gas attack was an atrocity, a war crime, and pictures of its tiny victims are heart-rending. But 400,000 people have died in Syria’s civil war, among them thousands of children and infants.
Have they been killed by Assad’s forces? Surely, but also by U.S., Russian, Israeli and Turkish planes and drones — and by Kurds, Iranians, Hezbollah, al-Qaida, ISIS, U.S.-backed rebels and Shiite militia.
Assad is battling insurgents and jihadists who would slaughter his Alawite brethren and the Christians in Syria just as those Copts were massacred in Egypt on Palm Sunday. Why is Assad more responsible for all the deaths in Syria than those fighting to overthrow and kill him?
quote:
And as in most wars, the first shots fired receive the loudest cheers. But if the president has thrown in with the neocons and War Party, and we are plunging back into the Mideast maelstrom, Trump should know that many of those who helped to nominate and elect him — to keep us out of unnecessary wars — may not be standing by him.
We have no vital national interest in Syria’s civil war. It is those doing the fighting who have causes they deem worth dying for.

I am as pro Trump as it gets but P Buchanan is spot on with his analysis! IMO, if he gets us in this war he is a one term President for sure. I would hate that cause I think he is doing alot of good overall.

Hillary is queen of the Neo-Cons. She would have bombed the shite out of the Syrians. She wanted to.
What happened to Donald's anti-interventionism? He sure gave that idea up quickly. Wonder why?
Picture......HRC walking out onto stage wearing a drab colored pantsuit....that looks remarkably like Chairman Mao's workers uniform. She sits down on a plain chair and holds on her lap......a little wooden Donald Trump. HRC can make that little man do whaterr she wants.
Anti-interventionism....one of the few reasons that I preferred him over her and then he knocks that leg of support out from under himself real quickly.

And if that happens, and the military action goes completely south, the neocons and war party will drop him like a used whore and pin all the blame on him when shite hits the fan.
And then Trump will not have enough core supporters left to survive politically as he repudiated the original supporters who didn't elect him to be a warmonger.
Trump needs to get the frick back to Make America Great Again, not making the Bush wing of the party great again.
