1. Tulsi cares about Tulsi.

She does anything she can to raise her profile. Not sure she has any core convictions, so the right can use her any way they want.

[virtualobserver]

2. the opposite is true

Tulsi has been consistent in her criticism of intervention in Syria.

[Jim Beard]

5. You are right, I read up on her and she knows what she is talking about.

[virtualobserver]

7. She has been one of the few people speaking reasonably about the situation in Syria

Trump's action illustrates just how insane this war is. No one is on the side of the people. All we have are multiple factions vying for control of the country.

We are now attacking both sides in this conflict, and Hillary reiterated the need to attack Syrian air bases as well.

Tulsi is the voice of reason in the Democratic party. There was a lot of resentment against her after she quit the DNC and endorsed Bernie and she has criticized past policy in support of "rebels" in Syria, arguing that ultimately, that support ended up in the hands of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

She is one of the few people who actually understand the situation and people on this site are trashing her.

Except for you and me!

12. Then I question your judgement: Tulsi Gabbards Fascist Escorts to Syria

Tulsi Gabbard’s Fascist Escorts to Syria
The Democratic congresswoman used affiliates of a violent, anti-Semitic political party to take tea with Assad.

Tulsi Gabbard, the self-styled “progressive” Hawaiian congresswoman makes no secret of her recent trip to Damascus to meet Bashar al-Assad. But, as an outspoken opponent of what she presents as America’s pro-terrorist foreign policy, Gabbard certainly accepted some strange companions on what her fellow lawmakers are calling a disgraceful reputation-laundering tour of a bloody dictatorship.
Gabbard, as her own office has disclosed, took her “fact-finding” trip with a delegation of two men who are affiliated with an anti-Semitic political party accused of using female suicide bombers; of beating up Western and Arab journalists; helping U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hezbollah and the U.S.-sanctioned Syrian regime wage war in the Levant.
And did we mention the party’s ideology and flag take their inspiration from Nazism?

21. The Atlantic article claims she did not know she was going to be meeting with Assad.

It was a legitimate organization who sponsored the trip.

[KittyWampus]

11. Tulsi is an Islamaphobe and gun-lover with ties to Republicans in her state.

If you think she's legit, that's your problem.

[virtualobserver]

14. Is that why that made her a vice-chair of the DNC?

[KittyWampus]

16. the DNC has been cleaned out by Perez. There were moles in there.

[virtualobserver]

19. so, the moles elected her Vice Chair....lol.

[KittyWampus]

13. She's an Islamaphobe. That might account for some of "consistency"

[virtualobserver]

15. So objecting to supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria constitutes Islamophobia?

[KittyWampus]

17. You must not be terribly familiar with her history or statements. So it's curious you defend her.

[virtualobserver]

18. I am familiar with her history.

I don't see her as Islamophobic.

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. +1

[mahina]

4. +1

But I'm glad she spoke up.

[Foamfollower]

23. I'm with you on that.

[BannonsLiver]

6. She will be their (Putin etc.)2020 play to disrupt the Dem primaries

The Assange/Wikileaks project chaos crowd will love her. Take it to the bank.

[Jim Beard]

9. She definitely isn't being a tag along. What would you do in syria. Tell me all about so

you can share with us the things we aren't aware of.

[BannonsLiver]

10. You first

[Jim Beard]

20. So I am going to assume you know nothing about what has been going on the last 12 years

but to clue you in, Syria should have been taken care of before Iraq, Afghanistan ( Hooray for Charlie Wilson's war) the place Russia doesn't want, wonder why. Oh, Pakistan.

We also has Arab Spring where some of my fellow countrymen, should realize that wanting countries to have democracy and actually delivering are very difficult to do. Oh yeah, Egypt and Libya are added to that.

I remember the first Gulf war so well, they are still looking for those babies dumped out of their incubators.

Do you remember Lebanon? There were five factions fighting in that one. No one knew who to please but they did know how to displease Ronald Reagan when a member of one of the five factions decided to blow up a Marine killing 290 US Marines. Score one for the smart people who know not to interfere with a married couple fighting. You are going to lose no matter which side you take.

I have been hearing all this bullshit about Obama didn't do anything. Well bullshit, bush sunk our country deep in debt and we damn sure didn't need to spend any more money on the Middle east.

Mr Trumpet wants to spend our money on bullets and not medical care. Lets show some pictures of our own people dying.

Now, did you learn the lesson or do you need to repeat the course.

[BannonsLiver]

22. Cool story

I hope you and Richard Spencer enjoy Gabbard's 2020 campaign. It must be so interesting to find common ground with someone like that.

[Martin Eden]

24. "Syria should have been taken care of"

What does that mean?

[Jim Beard]

25. I should have said if we had to go to war against any dictator, we should have disposed of

Assad since he has always been the worst but instead, baby bush invaded the wrong country. We have spent a tub full of defeating Iraq when it should have been Afghanistan alone.

Saddam Husein was always there to fight Iran and Russia. Bush broke the hell out of the region and now he sets on his ass paint pretty pictures.

[Martin Eden]

27. The problem with regime change is the devil you don't know can be worse

But here's the first question we need to ask:

What gives us the right?

Absent a clear cut case of justified self defense it can justly be called a war crime. We really have to get it out of our heads that we can or should use our military in this way.

[David__77]

26. That game of association is an old one.

The Communist Party supports Democrats. So what?
