[On the face of it I am not in favor of withdrawing US troops from Syria, especially viz the Kurds.  My own long-stated Rebane Doctrine is that the US must continue its role as the world's white hat policeman (hegemon) using responses and methods that will evolve with needs and time.  But before we continue hyper-ventilating on the withdrawal, can someone cite the exact parameters of Trump's withdrawal announcement – e.g. is it more than pulling a few tens of troops back from the 20-mile buffer zone?  gjr]

    re Jig 253pm – It would enlighten all in these comment streams to know which news outlets he and his consider to be “far right hate news”. Names please.
    In the long years of RR, we cannot count the number of times leftwingers have discovered a national news item, widely held opinion, or meme on these pages and attributed it something that I made up or exclusively believe. Why? Because the ‘news’ they consume is highly filtered and edited to support only one narrative – they have no idea of what all is going on in the national debate. By their daily comments they confirm the extent of their blinders and shallowness of their focus.

    “60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft confronted Pelosi on the topic in 2011, but she denied any impropriety.
    The report noted that Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, while credit card regulation was underway in the House of Representatives. The Pelosis bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44 and shares were trading at $64 just two days later, according to the report.
    “Congress has never done more for consumers nor has the Congress passed more critical reforms of the credit card industry than under the Speakership of Nancy Pelosi,” Pelosi spokesman, Drew Hammill, said in a statement, according to CNN after the 60 Minutes report aired.”
    Some would consider that inside trading. Is that still illegal jiggered BOOB?

    Kangaroo court? –
    Pelosi last month unilaterally held a news conference announcing that such proceedings were in progress. House rules do not require a vote to begin an impeachment inquiry, but it remains unclear whether the courts will agree that an impeachment inquiry has begun without such a vote. If courts do not find that a formal inquiry is in progress, they could curtail Democrats’ evidence-gathering efforts.

    What Jig and friends are missing is the record in these pages of how they limit their news and miss critical issues/factors, all which are not known by rightwingers who also consume leftwing outlets. There is no record of someone from the Left informing RR readers of something of which they were unaware, but plenty of postings of my being credited with introducing and commenting on an idea that was already in the national debate. That is the real evidence of how comprehensive are our respective news sources.

    I agree with the Master Sgt.. Of course, because he isn’t white, the Rebane Rednecks are quick, even eager, to throw him under the bus and leave a brown skid mark where the American Marine war veteran used to stand.
    “Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Jeff Merrick said that deporting the Marine veteran after he served his prison sentence was a second punishment after he already paid his debt to society.
    It’s “a real injustice to allow a veteran to be deported just because he got in trouble with the law,” Merrick said. “He paid his dues, now he is getting a lifetime sentence to a country he knows nothing about.””

    WASHINGTON — The first year for the military exercise Defender Pacific will be smaller in size than its sister drill in Europe in 2020, but it will still be one of the largest exercises conducted by the U.S. Army and its partners and allies in the region since Team Spirit drills in South Korea ended in the early 1990s, according to acting U.S. Army Pacific Commander Lt. Gen. John “Pete” Johnson.
    The Army will flow roughly 12,000 soldiers into the region next year around September for the exercise, Johnson told Defense News in an interview ahead of the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference.
    The exercise will consist of many things the Army has not practiced at such a large scale. Forces will be in countries like the Philippines and Thailand, and they will likely work with other countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
    The Army also plans to conduct parts of the exercise with other partners “like our compact states, Papua New Guinea, etc.” to deliver the force forward, Johnson said. The compact states consist of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau.
    The exercise will aim to challenge the U.S. in its ability to deploy from the continental U.S., Johnson said. “The tyranny of distance is real from the continental United States into this region, and it takes a tremendous amount of effort to do that.”
    Defender Pacific “will go a long way to enable our joint logistics enterprise, to itself, and for us to train on those key force projection tasks to be able to flow forces into theater,” he said, “ and then once into theater, we’re essentially connecting to our existing bilateral relationships.”

    Forces on the ground are expected to execute missions and train with allies. The Army rescheduled some exercises traditionally held during different times of the year to fall under Defender Pacific “so that we can get the stressor, the simultaneity, and we get the stressor on our joint logistics,” Johnson said.

    Today AF F-15’s and army gunships checked the forward movement of scumbags that thought they could press toward our lines. We still own the south east and the Eupherties with Iraq.
    We are not going to deploy the 101st or a marine division to Syria. DUH!

    I think Mr Barron continues to exhibit his penchant for faulty logic with his criticism of Gregory’s 1134pm. The latter did not claim what had happened, but surmised what would happen (with his blessings) were the same charges leveled against a ‘white’ alien. But in his 759am Gregory does ask a cogent question to counter your charge of racial discrimination. Suffice it to say, this is question remains unresolved withstanding Barron’s unsubstantiated 838pm accusation.

    There aren’t many immigrants, legal or not, from places like Iceland in the US, and it would be a tiny subset of those who could be veterans and a tiny subset of those who could be felonious spousebeaters.
