I can't wait until this election is over, so I can start having intelligent conversations with people again.

I don't know who you've been talking to then because ignorant people don't magically become intelligent overnight.

MSgt Michael Bischoff Absolute BS ... Clearly, Trump was talking about the Obama Administration, not the military, per se. The Administration calls the shots on this operation. The military does not act without direction from the national command authority. What Trump says is more likely than not right on target.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - So where did he mention "the military" in his comments? It is obvious that he was talking about the Obama Administration.

COL Jean (John) F. B. - From the question:
Wallace: Mr. Trump, same question. If we are able to push ISIS out of Mosul and out of Iraq, would you be willing to put U.S. troops in there to prevent their return or something else?
Trump: Let me tell you, Mosul is so sad. We had Mosul. But when she left, she took everybody out, we lost Mosul. Now we're fighting again to get Mosul. The problem with Mosul and what they wanted to do is they wanted to get the leaders of ISIS who they felt were in Mosul. About three months ago, I started reading they want to get the leaders and they're going to attack Mosul. Whatever happened to the element of surprise, okay? We announce we're going after Mosul. I've been reading about going after Mosul now for about how long is it, Hillary, three months? These people have all left. They've all left. The element of surprise. Douglas MacArthur, George Patton spinning in their graves at the stupidity of our country.
So we’re now fighting for Mosul. That we had. All she had to do was stay there, now we’re going in to get it. But you know who the big winner in Mosul is going to be after we eventually get it -- and the only reason they did it is because she's running for office of president and they want to look tough. They want to look good. He violated the red line in the sand, and he made so many mistakes. He made all mistakes. That's why we have the great Migration, but she wanted to look good for the election. So they’re going in.
But who is going to get Mosul really? We'll take Mosul eventually. By the way, if you look at what's happening, much tougher than they thought. Much, much tougher. Much more dangerous, going to be more deaths than they thought. But the leaders that we wanted to get are all gone because they're smart. They say what do we need this for. So Mosul is going to be a wonderful thing, and Iran should write us a letter of thank you. Just like the really stupid, the stupidest deal of all time, a deal that's going to give Iran absolutely nuclear weapons. Iran should write us yet another letter saying thank you very much because Iran, as I said many years ago, Iran is taking over Iraq. Something they've wanted to do forever, but we've made it so easy for them. So we're now going to take Mosul and you know who is going to be the beneficiary? Iran. Boy are they making, they are outsmarting… Look you're not there. You might be involved in that decision, but you were there when you took everybody out of Mosul and out of Iraq. You shouldn't have been in Iraq, but you did vote for it. You shouldn't have been in Iraq, but once you were in Iraq, you should have never left the way -- the point is the big winner is going to be Iran.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - Once again... You stated he did not mention Obama in his comments as support for your allegation. I countered with he did not mention "the military" either. I see nothing in the above that supports your opinion he was talking about the military. He says "they" and "he", which to me, means Obama and the Obama Administration. I don't believe, for a minute, that "the military" would have acted without the blessing of the Obama Administration and I totally agree the timing has a lot to do with politics and less to do with military imperatives.

You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. I guess we can just agree to disagree on this one.
