Right on Cue

Suddenly, we're talking about war machinery, somebody wrote him a speech about it, and Dolt 45 is a real president.  They say the generals convinced him.  I'm guessing it was the general who said: this will bring your favorability numbers up.







House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., applauded Trump’s decision for “refocusing military efforts” to produce a “more secure, stable and sovereign Afghanistan.”

“I am confident of the path ahead, and will work with my colleagues to ensure our troops have the resources they need to succeed in their mission. This framework...is the right thing to do for Afghanistan, the United States and the world.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called Trump’s new strategy a “big step in the right direction,” warning that it was “long overdue.” He said it is important that “the newly announced strategy gives no timeline for withdrawal” and that it is based “on conditions on the ground.”

[...]

Marco Rubio, R- Fla., who has criticized Trump previously, tweeted that the strategy was “very good," saying it was “put together the right way” with “careful review and consideration of multiple views and ideas.”

[...]

Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, R-Tenn., said that he believed Trump’s “more focused plan” lends flexibility to the U.S. military and that the new approach would result in “better diplomatic outcomes” with regional partners, particularly India and Pakistan.

Holy shit!  Has he lost Laura Ingraham?!


Is Laura so far right that she's left? Because that one came at me from left field.

Well, there is that.



Everybody bows to military-industrial establishment. And it will ever be thus.

And we're not talking about Russia any more.  Or Charlottesville.  Win-win for Dolt 45.
