Representative Tulsi Gabbard states we are engaging in a illegal war against Bashar Al Assad, and that it is also counter to the best interests of the US because ousting Assad will ultimately make ISIS a bigger, problem than it already is.

She is correct and I hope her way of thinking catches on.

This is a sad indicator that as of 2015, Congresswoman Gabbard is the sole remaining Democrat in Congress with any tactical or strategic comprehension whatsoever. An extremely troubling development that does not bode well for those moments when it is time for politicians to put Party differences aside and come together in the interests of National Security. Before both sides can get there, they must be led. Who's going to lead those who cannot grasp the magnitude of an issue or a moment in this arena?

It should be clear by now, that for most of our politicians left, or right, politics and re-election take a front seat to ideas of ongoing, consistent, and effective national security, economic, and foreign policy. These shortcomings aren't the problem, but rather a symptom of the much greater, and widespread problem of political expediency at the expense of our Constitution, our rights, and our economic future.

Yes she is correct SSG Gerhard S.. The administration's focus against Bashar Al Assad was completely wrong. Our focus should have been on toppling ISIS all along. Our diddling in this area of the world has caused many problems from Libya to Iraq and Syria in the past few years .
