They asked me, why is the United States and its allies supporting these terrorist groups who are destroying Syria when it was al-Qaeda who attacked the United States on 9/11, not Syria. I didn’t have an answer for them,” Gabbard said, noting the clear dismay the average Syrian has for the U.S. support of al-Qaeda – a proposition which every American should equally question.
“The reality is… every place that I went, every person that I spoke to, I asked this question to them, and without hesitation, they said, there are no moderate rebels. Who are these moderate rebels that people keep speaking of?
Regardless of the name of these groups, the strongest fighting force on the ground in Syria is al Nusra, or al-Qaeda and ISIS. That is a fact,” Gabbard said.
The Syrian people recognize and they know that if President Assad is overthrown, then al-Qaeda — or a group like al-Qaeda, that has been killing Christians, killing people simply because of their religion, or because they won’t support their terror activities, they will take charge of all of Syria.

President Trump has already addressed that issue.
Create safe zones in Syria that will be protected. Seems the most logical response, since Saudi Arabia refuses to take in any refugees because of their concern for the security of their country? Yet the house of Saud has no problems spending money to create Mosques in the countries that the refugees are moving into?
You would have to be blind to not see the game being played on the Western World by these psychopaths supporting this nonsense!

It's got to the point that I have given up trying to read between the lines and see the big picture. It just seems that with such weak attempts at fighting terrorism are we not just poking and fanning the flames.
How could the western world allow the destruction of full countries.....however create enough fear in the hearts of its people then they will allow the government any power to keep them "safe".
When I first started paying attention to important issues in the world I thought the problem was the government and big business.
How wrong was I.
The problem is us....the people.
We know the danger is growing.
We know they are messing with our food and water.
We know they are pumping us with drugs.
We know they are slaughtering million under our names.
We know they are leaving us the scraps from their grand tables.
Yet we know nothing....because we do nothing.
Everyone needs to take a look at themselves and see how weak they really are. Then we can stop this madness and start living together in peace.

She actually seems to be sane doesn't she?
She would have a snowballs chance in hell to actually becoming DNC chair.... not enough crazy.

Here is one issue Trump can fix. Stop these barbaric terrorist organizations that the Obama administration has armed and funded all these years.
