Iraq Withdrawal Letter Screw-Up Shows Pentagon Tainted By Trump | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
One of the best letters I’ve seen that show respect and it gets called a mistake. Go figure.
@Andrew Colomy You can say that about every news source. Try Allsides.com if you don’t wanna seek the truth you make for yourself.
When you have incompetent people in our government making bad decisions after clown chump instruct them to carry out his instructions which are generally incoherent.
@MrSmokelife Stfu clown
Goin sane Productions As a Democrat, why would you vote for either of them? Might as well just vote for trump 🤦♂️
1 life lost is not worth going to ww3 . that’s how ww1 started.
Ahhh who hasn’t pressed reply all on an email. While running the U.S. at war. D’oh.

LOOOOOOOOOLLLL! yeah! who didn’t?

This will go down in history as the biggest bruh moment ever.
@Cacique Amurru *< orange man bad*
@Lastweektonight Show 2020 nuffsed
@chai momma Jehova witnesses are happy dancing for their prophecies become true.
@J Silva If the Iran government doesn’t respond, groups of terrorist will. And by the look of the millions attending that funeral procession, I think the numbers are up!
Iran revenge-sabotage all world golf courses so Trump can’t work
No then Obama would cry .
He hasn’t thought that far ahead. You’ll know the day they threaten his golf courses and he flips out. Other side of the literal coin, war can be averted cutting a $100 mil check for Trump Tower Tehran.
Kathy Abernathy huh? Who do you think is more into golf?
Am I the only one who thinks they’re getting trolled?
My talking about msnbc. They SEEM like they’re getting trolled.
I can believe anybody still listens
No, we are getting trolled. Everyone in power from the Generals to the politicians to the hosts wants us to stay fighting these wars and this is just the latest way to fool you and I to support it–presenting this is story of leaving as an absurdity and a mistake.
Yeah. Putin is the troll.
I wish we were, but it is just incompetence supported by the idiotic.
Ancient joke: “Are you a member of an organized race?” “No, I’m human.”
Love this comment!!!!
This is basically autocorrect starts a war *smh*
The only thing taken out of Iraq was an Iranian general.
Some Iraqis too….
But don’t think ABOUT it…
Most unstrategic ATTACK…EVER
@Keion Chase must be Iranian lol
Exactly
@HavoK Gaming you must be a lying traitor like Drumpf.
We always wanted out, so leave.
It now appears that the up to now impartial US military is now being coerced into playing Trump’s deceitful and corrupt game.
@Bryanx1964 Yeah, I saw the crowds at the funeral procession that are glad he’s dead. Try watching the BBC News videos if you want a good look at Millions. I hope 100, 000 of them didn’t sign up for terrorist duty. And no I am not afraid of the Iranian people, just our nitwit government, their nitwit government and fools like you!
45 is playing a game that will noon lead to a end to elections
@Bryanx1964 45 is a terrorist
@Bryanx1964 when America back a leader for other countries America ends up always having to return a clean up the mess they created
Who needs a shred of international credibility, right?
Certainly not America – it has nukes instead and lots of them very sad to say – they just do not care anymore – the gloves are off and by the time American people wake up all pretense of democracy will be disposed of – Bernie 2020 is our only chance and we need to turn out in numbers like Iranians did for Soleimani
Mr Underhill agreed
Why worry about that now? We haven’t had any in three years and won’t have any for about one more at least, and even then it will be very diminished.
Pat Doyle I see your point, but you can always dig a deeper hole.
Doesn’t have the “Draft” watermark on it.
…
They will release the groundhogs
I’m now officially announcing this phase of our interaction with Iraq and the Iranians as The Cadet Bone Spur’s War!
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s been a long time since I’ve sent an email but doesn’t the system ASK you if you really want to send this “draft”?
In life, as in golf, Trump is always asking for do-overs.
How can they know what to think when “we” can’t get together?
America has become an embarrassment, nothing but lies and corruption.
Weve become the very thing we were supposed to defend from .
😂😂😂 there’s no way with Americans..they acting like a kids..
