http://crooksandliars.com/2017/03/more-war-marines-just-arrived-syria-helpA couple hundred Marines have deployed into Syria with heavy artillery guns, as part of the ongoing preparation for the fight to oust the Islamic State group from its self-declared headquarters of Raqqa, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday.
The deployment is temporary. But it is likely an early indication that the White House is leaning toward giving the Pentagon greater flexibility to make routine combat decisions in the IS fight. Military commanders frustrated by what they considered micromanagement under the previous administration have argued for greater freedom to make daily decisions on how best to fight the enemy.
Buckle up! dRump has started his war games!

(442 posts)the Russian interference in our election will be in the back burner. Press will be imbedded and sound the drum beat that it is unAmerican to not support the troops when they are in harms way. A triumph over ISIL no matter how big or small will show that dRump is a leader with big ba$$!
All protests from the liberals will be drowned out! This douchbag will survive again and the left will not put up a fight.
This orange a$$ is the biggest Benedict Arnold since Benedict Arnold and neither the CIA nor the FBI will stop him now. Where were they when all the Russian meetings were going on before and during the election????
This gets more and more depressing by the day!
