somebody who punches that kid it's the hate filled left who's made this into an issue in a story but iraq obama didn't approve gay marriage until 2012 bill clinton never did as as far as the war criminal that's a bunch of nonsense again that's the radical left who views george w. bush that way and probably every american president who ever got us involved in a war because that basically despised the country home because he said big if there is ever an award given for somebody who go into statistics for a question that has nothing to do with it it's that man my friend. number 2 wary of my camera to mark ruffled iraq where on my mark sad shot list say to quote the great dr rodney king can't we all just get along she said the next time look i wasn't a fan of his and he was the president. now watching the game she's not running as his as his running mate i mean every seriously this. player while nonsense stop it and mark ruffalo i think it was lyndon johnson who said when you've lost mark well follow you've lost middle america oh come on well you know it's interesting about where the outrage comes

to protect against what the isis, that got us into -- back into the war in iraq during the obama administrationas the slaughter of christian minorities in iraq by isis. what will protect those communities that we have been spending $350 million to protect and touting it as a big success? i don't, i think the president is really sending mixed signals here on this situation. he is now doubling down on his decision to go ahead and we don't know if it was a green lighting, or, he does seem to be supporting the sanctions again. turkey, while at the same time, kind of coming down and saying that the kurds are no angels. he is trying to have it both ways, and sanctioning the cat once it is out of the bag is kind of a strange strategy. >> neil: not to risk alienating the president of italy, but right in harm's way, you think about another drain, and it would be on the receiving end of the isis elements that make their way into his country, but lindsey graham is well with whom the president had a nasty back-and-forth said that of national security disasters, do you agree with that? hold on, one thing, n

sen.t graham: from presid trump's point of view, i isis comes back, you will owi it like obama owned iraq. it will be worse becau you had obama's mistakendo learn fromou failed to do so. laura: i'm joined by ron chrir ie, forvisor to george w. bush. hnator lindsey graham said the president underc vice president, who leads tonight for ankara, by saying that turkey's invasion of syria has nothing to do with us. would you agree? ron: good evening to you. no, i wouldn't. i came back from boston i talked to a syria and he said his countrymen felt very muchd betra what the president has done. he has removed american troops when the turkish government felt they could not in fgas part of the country. now with the american presence gone, they have gone in unimpeded and kill innocent people, now the president is oftrying to clean up a mesis own making. sending his vice president and sehietary of state to turkey to negotiate something that should never have taken place is an embarrassment to the united states. laura: the president is defending himself, saying it has been sategically brilliant and hi

president obama's retreat from iraq allowed isis to arise from the still-warm ashes of al qaeda in iraq. if not arrested, withdrawing from syria will invite more of the chaos that breeds terrorism and creates a vacuum our adversaries will certainly fill. it will invite the brutal assad regime to reassert its impressive control over northeastern syria, repressing sunni arab communities and creating the same conditions that led to isis growth in the first place. russia will gain more leverage to amass power and influence throughout the middle east, project power into the mediterranean, and even promote its interests in africa. iran-backed forces could have access to a strategic corridor that runs all the way from tehran to the very doorstep of israel. so, madam president, where do we go from here? well, many of us in the senate were ahead of the game on the need to reaffirm american global leadership in the ongoing fight against radical terrorists. at the beginning of this year, a bipartisan supermajority of senators warned about exactly this course of events. the mcconnell amendment to s

the oval office that if you keep talking like that "this will be a disaster, worse than obama's decision to leave iraq want to get out of the middle east. lyndsay should focus on judiciary like the democrats and the do-nothing democrats as call them because they are doing nothing and getting none done. they are not getting usmca done between the canada, the united states, and mexico. lindsay should focus on judiciary and find out about happens with comey what happened struck,abe, lisa president obama, brennan that is what he ought to focus on. that is what the people of south carolina want him to focus on. they do not want us to get into a war with turkey, a nato member or with syria, let them fight their own wars. they have been fighting their own wars. the people of south carolina want to see troops come home. i won an election based on that and that is the way it is, whether it is good or bad. if you look at this country, i'd be willing to bet anything that is what the country wants. on wednesday the house approved a resolution the trump administration to withdraw troops from syria. 60 republicans

obama did in iraq, which clearly clearly was a mistake and caused the rise of isis in that area. i think there are a number of ways to address our foreign policy concerns and if we have that debate in the senate i would like it to apply more broadly than just to the courage. for example, in eastern eastern syria they are also christians left out of the version that the house considers. a broader approach to america's position in the world which i think and 70 senators .-dot earlier this year is more forward leaning and a decision the administration made with regard in regard to getting our troops out of syria. >> missing a lot of the democrat individual candidates trying to trick themselves into a puzzle to trying to address to pay for all the socialist ideas they are putting out there and my colleague will talk about medicare for all but what we are seen coming out of the house coming out of the leadership are just more ideas that will increase the size of government and destroy the free market when it comes to healthcare with the pelosi drug bill is one that paul's strict price

iraq. before barack obama faced re—election, they got some of bin laden, and our year out from what donaldeal action they have got al—baghdadi, and he will be hoping for a similar feeling that his predecessors had. three people arrested after the discovery of 39 bodies in a refridgerated container lorry in essex have been released on bail. the driver, maurice robinson, is due to appear in court tomorrow, charged with manslaughter. meanwhile, the families of those feared deadhave been holding vigils and ceremonies back in vietnam. many are thought to have come from the village of yen thanh, from wherejonathan head reports. a community overwhelmed by shock and despair. they haven't heard from sons and daughters who were en route to britain for days and they all fear the worst. earlier this year, le van ha left vietnam to seek his fortune in europe. since he left, his wife has given birth to their second child. he was the great hope of this family. the news from britain has left them stunned. his wife can't eat or speak. his father, le minh tuan, is inconsolable, constantly hugging his eldest

he said that he defeated i saw an obama had done nothing president obama did nothing to defeat the defeat of the islamic state of iraq began under barack obama he created the coalition along with the kurds to fight against myself in syria and iraq so the president trying to claim credit for that but really the overall message here is this is a president who told turkey he was going to take those troops out and then turkey invaded the president says he knew that that was what was going to happen but in the white house comes out and says that that's not a green light this is turkey was going to do it we have to keep our troops safe for years u.s. troops have been there in that small number that's mall number was enough to keep turkey from going into syria so the president tried to say that he has no responsibility for this his allies are not buying that they see this as him giving the green light they're painting this as him turning the allies the kurds and now he's pushing back and he said earlier today that the kurds are not angels and then he went on to say that the kurds are much safer now so the price. whole lot o

. >> if you keep talking like that, this will be a disaster, worst than obama's decision to leave iraq. >> lindsey graham would like to stay in the middle east with thousands of soldiers and fighting other people's war. i want to get out of the middle east. lindsey should focus on judiciary like the do-nothing-democrats. they are getting nothing done. they're not getting anything done between canada and the united states between mexico. i think lindsey should focus on y judiciary. he ought to find out what happened with comey and lisa and peter strzok and what happened with president obama and br bren -- the people of south carolina don't want us to get into a war with turkey or syria. let them fight their own war. they have been fighting for a thousand year. the people of south carolina wants to see those troops come home. i won an election based on that and that's the way it is whether it is good or bad. if you look at this country, i would be willing to bet anything that is what the country wants. i am not going to get involved in a war between turkey and syria especially when if yo

let's not forget strong opposition to the iraq war helped obama win the white house in 2008. and a noninterventionist platform also propelled trump to victory. americans in both parties smartly saw the more we extended ourselves in the middle east, the weaker we became. as the president said, look, all these years later, 18 years later, we still have troops in afghanistan. the suffering falls only on a small percentage of americans. >> i have to sign letters, it's the hardest thing i have to do. and i see parents make sounds that were just 20 minutes ago absolutely fine, make sounds, scream and cry like you've never seen before, breaking the military line and jumping off and then jumping on to a coffin of her son or her daughter. their lives will never be the same. >> i'm so glad he said that as hard as it was for us to imagine to be in that place where the parents are. it's important for the u.s. president to recognize that. and there will always be evil people around the world who want power and do horrible things to other people to get it. look what happening to the muslim

iraq surge. indeed the obama biden administration worked alongside our partners in syria, the kurds the syrian democratic forces, but just a few hundred americans stopping tens of thousands of local fighters to take the fight to isis on the ground. the strategy was so successful it turned out the secret plan to defeat isis is to keep doing what we put in place until last week. those brave kurdish and arab forces paid a steep price to defeat isis in the caliphate they lost over 10000 soldiers. 10000. 10000. dead. they made the ultimate sacrifice and then trump sold them out. all it took was one phone call from the president of turkey who knew very well. so now instead of being a reliable american partner to maintain stability keeping a lid on terrorism the kurds have had to make the only bargain they could make to avoid being wiped out in their women and children to be wiped out. with the onslaught of the turkey military they made a deal with two devils. bashir aside who heads the government of syria. that's the deal. but now being handed over to those two people, control of northwest syria. the brutal ru

the reason was obama and biden prematurely pulled out of iraq, created a monster vacuum that allowed spill over into syria. don't get me started on iran, the worst deal in history of counterterrorism. you can't fit with a group of islamic fundamental clerics who run the country and expect to make a deal with them and not get into it with a terror group at some point. the whole thing was hard to watch, no solutions, i don't think anyone has any idea what they are talking about. heather: according to joe biden he has been in the situation room for hours so he knows what he's talking about but do you think he twisted some of the facts with what happened in the past specifically from 2010-11 leading up to now? you mentioned the obama administration. >> he twisting the facts but not doing a good job of it, forgetting mistakes that were made by his administration. they made a deal with iran, extreme islamic lee fundamentally motivated country that is run by mullahs who are so far off the reservation but their revolutionary guard is essentially a terror organization, made it deal with them

withdrawing from syria is a grave mistake, quote, you saw that islamic state flourish in iraq after president obama's retreat. we will see these things in syria and afghanistan if we abandon our partners and retreat before the conflict i won. america's wars will be endless only if america refuses to win them. take note in that entire op-ed if you read it the majority leader mentions president obama by name three times but the word trump is not in the piece but with his usual defenders attacking his policies, the president is taking his message to twitter. think of how many lives we saved in syria and turkey by getting the cease-fire yesterday, thousands and many more. just spoke to president erdogan of turkey, he said it was minus my brand mortar fire that was quickly a laminated. he wants a cease-fire or pause, that is a different picture than reporting from the ground and the associated press, witnessing turkish selling and the kurds who used to be our allies are saying this. >> translator: we don't believe it is going to stop. there is no trust. when estate carries out genocide, massacres people a

iraq surge. indeed, the obama-biden administration worked alongside our partners in syria. the kurds and the syrian democratic forces with just a few hundred americans stopping tens of thousands of local fighters to take the fight to isis on the ground. the strategy was so successful it turned out that trump's secret plan to defeat isis. do you remember that? the secret plan to defeat isis was just to keep doing what we had put in place until last week. you know, those brave, kurdish and arab forces paid a steep price. in defeating isis in the caliphate they lost over 10,000 soldiers. hear me? 10,000. 10,000 dead. they made the ultimate sacrifice and then trump sold them out. all it took was one phone call from the president of turkey who i know very well. so now their protection. that's the deal. he always calls when i get to this part. i'm joking. [ laughter ] that's not a problem. it happens. look, they've now handed over to those two people, control of northwest syria back back to the brutal russian and iranian-backed regime, and i say iranian-backed regime. how does th

the poll out of iraq and president obama. no easy answers. the one how many want to fight for the kurds? >> josh: tremendously unpopular all the time. and that is why politically difficult decision. >> harris: joe biden pushing back on the labeling 2020 rifle with elizabeth warren as the company front runner. she doesn't like it. what the show down means for democrats trying to get to the white house. plus the grow war of words with president trump and speaker pelosi after democrats walked out of the white house meeting on syria. each political side accusing each of a political meltdown. the reaction. >> what it did do is cause a melt down on the part of the president because he was unhappy with the closed questions. ♪ u drive safely. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? pain happens. saturdays happen. aleve it. aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. ♪ >> he couldn't hand

senator lindsey graham a republican his latest tweet saying that this is in comparison to what obama did in iraq certainly criticizing there but also senator menendez baghban and is a democrat saying that this is essentially outstanding a longstanding policy with an impulsive and politically driven device decision that will sacrifice long term u.s. national security interests what he's basically saying there is donald trump is playing to a domestic audience he's trying to keep his 26000 campaign promise withdrawn the united states from endless wars but this is certainly going against the conventional wisdom of both the u.s. state department and the pentagon officials because what actually happens on the grounds can have grave consequences for the people there and there are real humanitarian concerns aren't there. yes and none of that is really being discussed right now because there's so much strategy that is being discussed even in the effort to try and perhaps get the president to. change course if you will because he has been telegraphing his desire to do this for some time but in the midst o

the oval office that if you keep talking like that, this will be a disaster worse than obama's decision to leave iraq. >> lindsey graham like to stay in the middle east for the next thousand years with thousands of soldiers. i want to get out of the middle east. i think lindsay should focus on judiciary, like the democrats. the do-nothing democrats as i tell them because they are getting nothing done. doneare not getting usmca between canada, the united states, and mexico. lindseyty should focus on judiciary. find out what happened with comey, mccabe, lisa, peter strzok. what happened with obama. what happened with brennan. that is what the people of south carolina want him to focus on. the people of south carolina do not want us to get into a war with turkey, a nato member, or with syria. let them fight their own wars. they have been fighting for a thousand years. the people of south carolina went to see troops come home. i won an election based on that. whether it is good or bad, that is how it is. if you look at this country, i would be willing to bet that is what the country wants. i am not going

what is going on in saudi arabia optics look athe lot more like saigon that president obama's 2011 drawdown in iraq. chris from paterson, new jersey, republican. i'm calling on the republican line but i am more of an independent. i'm voting most likely for sanders or tall see gabbard because of their anti-interventionist rhetoric. this entire conflict as a whole has been misreported. this is not a withdrawal. i believe the department of defense reported it as a restructuring of the forces there. though they are abandoning the kurds in northern syria this territory was seized at the end of the syrian war by those when the territory was sovereign syrian territory. as you can see now because of u.s. forces leaving to allow the turkish to enter in to the northern areas they are making a pact, the kurds are with the syrian government. which tells me this is less of the on a whim that people describe it as. trump just decided this on a whim, and more a planned calculation. as the u.s. forces were leaving the northern area, not wanting to alienate a nato member which we have a large airbase in in turkey,

obama left iraq. how well did that work out. >> clearly not at all. there was a vacuum.e same time -- >> i hope it works. president trump has actually done something really smart, they not just read as a force. the kurds and arrows to the fighting, the kurds lost around 2000 people. they're doing the fighting with her help. that is the model of us working with the kurds to keep the 10000 from coming back and it's really smart. in the oil fields so iran does not take them over. that is smart. here's what i would've ice president trump, do a deal, take over the oil fields in the south, share the revenue with the kurds who helped us fight isis and keep the money away from around, you could actually make money if you took the oilfields over insured the revenue -- >> i think the president talked about that a long time ago. if this is a cease-fire and their claims that there's already violation. what do you suggest we do? >> i think the president has crated an opportunity. i will give him a lot of credit for weighing in and stopping -- i talked to the leader of the kurdish for

some of the same people who told president obama to remain in iraq when we had basically brought theic state to the brink of evening d brink of exte telling president trump the same thing. it's a great talking point. bring your troops home. i don't want to be at war. i spent more time in a war zone than people should have to in a lifetime. there is a tremendous extra see jim consequence to what they are doing. it definitely hurts. there are political consequences. david: he was elected on that position and re-elected on that position whether you or i like it or not. i think it's something we'll be living with for a while. good to see you, my friend. remember all the times hillary clinton blamed the russians for her epic 2016 loss? >> the russians are still in our elections. i want a hat, too. a russian hat. putin could wake up with a headache and decide he doesn't like the republicans anymore. who knows. david: she thinks the russians are grooming a democrat 2020 candidate. former president jimmy carter and his wife have become the longest married presidential couple. deroy murdock s

they used a vacuum created from a hasty pullout in iraq by obama and biden, chaos of the syrian civil war to get foothold. unlikely they can ever reconstitute. connell: you mentioned china couple times. when you say refocus resource, that has to be our main goal or target or focus, what do you mean by that specifically when it comes to military capability and, you know, strategically moving resources and the like? what do you mean by that? >> as in business, so it is in statecraft where if everything is priority then nothing is a priority. the president restored a tremendous amount of funding for military really cut during the obama years with sequester. that hasn't manifested itself into large increase in carriers and satellites, nuclear systems, et cetera. i mean there has been some of that. really a noticeable shift in priorities away from counterinsurgency. aways from cowboys and indians in middle-eastern back waters, failed nation bidding to types planes, satellites, miss sells, to convince china it will lose any confrontation with the u.s. that is the priority. that is not somet

spring because that's really the this.ound for so is the iraq war but if you arab er in 2011, when spring protests started in egypt and syria, the obama winding down was the u.s. engagement in iraq and the protests were supposed to be this new way forwarder for america to engage in the middle were nd the protestors chanting american ideals, they were getting political support from the u.s. government and organizing on the tools of american, new american capitalism, so facebook, google, twitter, an droiz and iphones, and there was this moment that when we d i covered actually first met in 2011 in protestors on the street felt connected with americans, not just watching the protests on social media, on tv them, so engaging with liking the tweets, sharing facebook posts and it captured first term mindset that we can all just kind of sit andur computers and laptops like our way to a better world. obviously that wasn't the case, ended up ason that we in syria, to answer the question is because that's where the arab ended, and there were years of failed u.s. policy where, in he point 2014, syria was the worst civil possible of the ar, and y

ambassador to iraq under president obama, chris hill. ambassador, let's remind people here, this exactly move is why in part former defense secretary jim mattis stepped down last year. it's about brett mcgurk, somebody you know well. muck gurk is tweeting this morning about what a bad decision he thinks it is. he said the president made a similar position. tonight is a sad replay but seems even worse since the u.s. had convinced these kurdish forces we planned to stay. your reaction? >> first of all, i think as brett points out and most people know this, that if we're talking about a 20, 30 in kurgz, this is not only where the kurdish forces are, this is where the kurds live. this is their home in northern syria. so it seems that it would behoove the u.s., who is armed and equipped to advise the kurds who have been the main element in the force against isis to figure out how this can work. and there's clearly no effort to coordinate anything. there doesn't seem to be any diplomacy. all we hear about it is from a presidential tweet. where

graham says president trump appears hell bent on repeating president obama's mistakes in iraq. >> i willo anything i can to help him. but i will also become his worst nightmare. i won't sit on the sidelines and watch a good ally like the kurds be slaughtered by turkey. this is a defining moment for president trump. he need to up his game. lou: that's quite an opinion. during a press conference president trump brushed off the senator's criticism with a scathing response. president trump: lindsey graham would like to stay in the middle east for the next thousand years with,000 of soldiers -- with thousands of soldiers fighting other people's wars. he need to find out what happened with comey and mccabe, lisa. what happened with peter strzok, what happened with president obama. what happened with brennan. that's what lindsey ought to focus on. the people of south carolina don't want us to get into a war with turkey, a thank you to member, or syria. let them fight their own wars. they have been fighting for a thousand years. the people of south carolina want to see those troops come home. i

. >> the president condemned obama for leaving iraq too soon. and leading to the rise of isis.it will result in an asus resurgent. it is not just about the election it's about security degradation. in the relationships they u.s. advisors have with an ally and that is now asking that advisor as they drive away why are you leaving. >> he did have a president. and then he seemed like the policy change as if there was that the president said in order to change his mind or some other sort of deal. you must have a theory on this? the president's argument is been shored up by those in dc the belief that turkey is in the native ally. we just had not seen it though. now when it's come to the iranian sanctions. and now with the actions across the border. they are attacking kurds in northern iraq. and now they are that i can attack the white pg in northern syria. i think it is exactly that. we had two transactional leaders. i think that is actually generating that move. general electric is freezing pensions. they are on the floor of the new york stock exchange with more. >> a bumpy day fo

america and to everyone in the white house and every republican who was mad that president obama pulled out of iraqyou that list unpatriotic cowards that feckless unpatriotic callid is also your daddy meghan or have you not seen this photo there is your father and next to him is syrian rebel commander general salim idriss who your daddy did his best and train who is now eradicating the kurds we are ready for the operation to the east of the free t. s. these lands are currently under the control of the syrian democratic forces group which includes the kurdistan workers party ringleaders these terrorists occupying our homes but c'mon meghan mccain isn't john mccain she may have reason to fame entirely for being his daughter that doesn't mean she have different opinions again last example justify this contradicting yourself we destroyed it. isis with the help of the kurds we can't abandon the kurds now we can't turn it over to turkey to think that will work is really. really mr graham it seems like there's 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with his heart or he's just another
