Because it takes a rational person to threaten not to leave Iraq unless the Iraqis pay for the infrastructure built by the USA. In effect, to declare the US an occupier.

Or  to threaten to give Syrian oil wells to Exxon.

How more rational can someone get?

It would be hard to be less rational than Trump. 

However Trump claims to be  a very sane genius. Anyone who says this about themselves has to be borderline insane, you don't need a second opinion - professional or otherwise- anyone who cannot deduce this glaringly obvious fact from Trump's statement, has serious problems themselves IMHO.

 

Even a highly intelligent woman like Pelosi would be forgiven for not completely understanding the real mess the US is in, in the ME. Trump has no hope at all.

 

Please refer to this letter from a UK newspaper that explains it well.

 

Please note... this is not a meme, rather a relevant piece of analysis that someone has put much better than I could.

 

We support the Iraqi government in the fight against the Islamic State. We don’t like IS but IS is supported by Saudi Arabia, whom we do like. We don’t like President Assad. We support the fight against him but not IS which is also fighting against him.

We don’t like Iran but Iran supports the Iraqi government against IS. So, some of our friends support our enemies and some of our enemies are our friends and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies whom we want to lose but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win.

she owns an alcohol dependence problem...and the two piddly articles of impeachment

she's holding on to for fear that they amount to nothing. We've all moved on...suggest you do too.

Not really but you go and believe that and hold on for trump. Bolton could be called to testify at the House instead of the Senate and also a quick ruleing on the McGahn subpoena to testify, either might just add to articles.   Maybe.

I just now did listen to Moscow Mitch and sorry no tears from me. LOL Planning that the witness question can be decided later than in advance.

Funny he said that and trump said he welcom witness and includes the Bidens. Perhaps knowing Bolton will tell the truth he wants to get his licks in on Biden so he has at least the dig to use if he is the is the one he runs against. Tomorrow he will probably change his mind but more importantly is that whatever back and forth his cult will agree. Mitch is just being Mitch.  I did not realize Mitch won his seat while in KY only 23% residents bother to vote.

The vote is total bull spit..... and does nothing to limit the executive authority of the CIC in defense of the constitution of the USA... it’s political theatre in advance of the upcoming election... another joke move in the annals of the decline of the house...

If not dentures, what caused Trump's slurred speech during his recent public discourse on Iran? Should I feel as free to speculate about the reasons for this as you do about Pelosi?

I just do not get it, you guys who defend Trump, dont you see his complete out of order behavior, what he says, what he do, and his lies? How do you manage continue to aggree with him? Because croocked Hillary would have been worse? And Obama as well,  Is that your best argument? 

 

Just one more time to remind you what he said on War against Iran.

Slurred speech, inability to pronounce simple words and loss of breathe are medical problems relating to weak muscles or nervous system disorder like an impending stroke or problem with the brain. Compare to Pelosi, Trump is just a sick old man. Hope he stay upright till 2020,

They lap it up. Then the next day when he reverses they lap it up.

 

They loved his red line on iran, bomb it. Then he caved in, oh hes great not to get into war.

 

Its just trolling. When presented with facts they hide. I have asked many times why they dont want to know the truth. Silence.

They have to create lots and lots of laws if they want to control Trump. And that still won't stop him because it seems he doesn't know the laws and he doesn't care about them.

There is only one real solution: Remove Trump! And be sure the next person you vote for is calm and competent. 

What cracks me up is they always say "that is a war crime". 

 

But then, nothing ever happens. So I suppose, these are not war crimes. We cannot start an "illegal war" again, because the other times we did it, nobody paid the price, even though it was "illegal". 

 

The constitutions says nobody is above the law. What a joke that is. A drug dealer on the street shoots someone and goes to jail for life (as they should, it is a "crime").

 

Leaders of the US kill hunderds of thousands of innocents in illegal wars, and nothing happens. It is actually worse than nothing happens... they do it over again.
