A "a scathing rebuke"?Â* Hardly.Â* Mattis is far too professional for that.

Heh.Â* The liberal press at work again.

You didn't read/understand the letter.


I read it. I understand it. I agree with it. But it was far from
"scathing".


I agree, the letter was not 'scathing', but only because Secretary Mattis is too professional for
that.

But, I'll bet it doesn't portray his real feelings. He's too professional to air his grievances on
TV, but I'll bet he'd like to.



Mattis is a class act and smart as a whip. It's too bad he's leaving
but it's understandable.

This is a demonstration of the worst of Trump's personality. Although I
think he has done some good things his
ego makes him assume he knows and is an expert in everything. He's also
become as political as the rest of the loonies in Congress and is only
focused on shoring up his base for 2020. Oh well.

The WaPo? Unbiased?


Trump is getting the "attention" he deserves from just about every legit
news source and lots of Republicans. Even Fox News ain't happy with him.
Of course, trash like Coulter, Limbaugh, and other assorted right-wing
dirtbags still like him.


Now you are saying Fox News is legit. Make up your mind. And WaPo is as
biased as it can get in regards Trump. You wanted the war stopped, now you
want it expanded. Make up what little mind you possess. Forget about
waiting for DNC talking points.


No, ****-for-brains, I did not say Fox News was "legit." I mentioned
"every legit news source..." Then I said "Even Fox News ain't happy..."
No wonder you love Trump...you're a moron.


For a person who claims advanced English degrees, and to be a professional
writer, no wonder you had to declare bankruptcy with your writing skills.

He has lost the Neo Cons who never saw a war they didn't like, if that
is what you mean


He long ago lost the brighter neocons. Trump's support now is among the
dregs, the dumber and more gullible brothers and sisters of the
deplorables.

He lost over half the neo cons simply because he was not Hillary. Then
he lost the rest because he was actually trying to stop these two un

You think it was a mistake to go after al-Qaeda, ISIS and other

I don't recall any past president waging a war against Islam.
