Gabbard Admits Assad Meeting UPDATE: she's now in trouble re: ethics rules

[Blair]

Lady is more alt-right than liberal

She is not alt-right. She denounced David Duke when he endorsed her for SOS.

Oh how bold. There's a reason why Steve Bannon likes her, and there's a reason she's refusing to say who paid for this trip

If only there was some sort of moderate group...

Assad is the lesser evil compared to ISIS

He's still, y'know, evil.

The USSR government during and before WW2 was a evil as an government can get yet we allied with them to win WW2. Like the USSR we can deal with Assad later, ISIS is the bigger threat and must be stopped as soon as possible

Yes, that is 100% correct. ISIS is ravaging the middle east and Syria would be a good ally to have in the battle. At this point, the US needs every possible ally to help combat ISIS. It is idiotic that the Obama Administration didn't even recognize when ISIS actually became a major threat.

Why do people still think it's 2015 and that ISIS are dominating? They've lost something like 40% of their territory in Mosul, have lost their foreign fighters and are on the retreat. ISIS are hardly ravaging the middle east, and frankly Syria/Russia have always been a sh**tty unreliable partner in fighting terrorism

-ISIS recaptured Palmyra in December, and is currently attacking Deir ez-Zor.

Yet have lost 40% of their territory, and are currently being surrounded/sieged in Mosul. The main aim should be to beat them in Iraq.
