We don't need to fight ISIS over there anymore.They are coming across the border from Mexico.We will be fighting them here.
The cutoff in the thread title honestly gave me the mental image of a bunch of Taliban fighters weeping on their hands and knees.

ISISISISILDAESHWHATEVER doesn't have to send people "across the border from Mexico" there are THOUSANDS of "low hanging fruit" already in the US (many of them even born in the US).
Good Logic...Lots are dressed like woman and children....Still tough to see the US Military cut and run
There is no "cut and run" involved.
What there is (assuming that Mr. Trump "stays the course" [not always a safe assumption]) is "a planned and coordinated retrograde advance as directed by higher headquarters in order to redeploy to more advantageous positions that will enable limited resources to more efficaciously deal with changed conditions so as to secure new objectives".
You do understand the difference don't you?
"Cut and run" is what troops do WITHOUT being told to do it.
"A planned and coordinated retrograde advance as directed by higher headquarters in order to redeploy to more advantageous positions that will enable limited resources to more efficaciously deal with changed conditions so as to secure new objectives" is what the troops do when they are told to do it.
Liberals?
Redeploy=Cut and run

If there was any "cut and run" it wasn't done by the US military (unless you consider that the Commander-in-Chief is - in reality - a MEMBER of the US military).
The troops have been ORDERED to withdraw - even though the troops don't want to - so it isn't "the US Military" that has "cut and run" it is the person who issued the orders to withdraw and that person is ...

Taliban greets Pentagon's withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan with cries of victory
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — News that the White House had ordered the Pentagon to draw up plans for a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan provoked widespread criticism that the move would kneecap efforts to broker a peace deal to end America's longest war.
But there was one group on Friday celebrating the reports — the Taliban.
Senior members told NBC News the news was a clear indication they were on the verge of victory.
“The 17-year-long struggle and sacrifices of thousands of our people finally yielded fruit," said a senior Taliban commander from Afghanistan’s Helmand province. "We proved it to the entire world that we defeated the self-proclaimed world’s lone super power."
COMMENT:-
Apparently not everyone thinks that Mr. Trump is doing the wrong thing by pulling out of Afghanistan.
I wonder how the "conservatives" feel about finding themselves on the same side as the Taliban.

If they believe that crossing the border in Mexico to come to the US is an intelligent approach, then we have nothing to worry as they are stupid.
Sorry, I think you have much to learn about ISIS, its goals and what is actually happening on the US Mexico border. The threat there is not ISIS, its brown people.
The same result...The US Military turning tail , conceding defeat
Liberals?
Thats just stupid. We are not conceding anything. We are ending our 17 year nation building effort. But go ahead, tell me how much longer you would like us to stay there

Does anybody else find it strange that the left is switching from Peace Doves to War Hawks.
