Liberals' Tears For Kurds Ring Hollow After Vietnam

By PHILLIP JENNINGS, Special to the Sun | October 9, 2019

The uproar over President Trump’s plan to draw down our forces in northeast Syria certainly takes me back — to Vietnam. The howls of protest from Democratic politicians and the liberal foghorns in the press over how terrible it would be to leave brave American allies in the lurch, it’s almost like a time machine, complete with assertions that the evil Mr. Trump is ruining America’s hard-earned reputation for loyalty and trustworthiness.

Flash back to the mid-1970s and these, or their parents, were the same people cheering as we abandoned Southeast Asia’s millions of wonderful people to a generations-long nightmare of life under communism. Recall the suave assurances from, say, the Times, that “disengagement from a civil war in which the United States should never have become engaged need not shake this country’s position in the world.”........

As a veteran of the Vietnam War and the so-called secret war in Laos, I don’t get upset thinking about how we lost the war. That’s because we didn’t lose it. We won it. It was lost — thrown away — by liberal politicians besotted with hubris over from their success in forcing Nixon from office. It was they who threw away our victory........

He has already done more for them than President George H.W. Bush, who let Saddam Hussein slaughter them, or President Clinton, who sent Turkey arms to kill their Kurds, or President George W. Bush, who let Turkey bomb the Iraqi Kurds, or President Obama, who pressured Arab states not to arm the Syrian Kurds for the fight against ISIS............... .....To Read More.....

My Take - I inserted this to highlight who in American politics are contemptible to our "allies".  It's the left....we need to get that....as for the Kurds being noble.  They're Muslims, it's convenient to be presented as noble when it's convenient, but if the table turned, they'd stab us in the back.  We're allies of convenience to them, and we need to act accordingly. 

There's no fixing the Middle East.  They've been butchering each other for 1400 years, and they live for it.  Let them!
