We were told it was never going to happen. It just happened.
Two American soldiers, members of the Iowa National Guard, and a civilian interpreter were killed in a Muslim terrorist attack.
The official press release states that this was an attack by an ISIS terrorist.
The Trump administration press release claims that the Al Qaeda “President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack” and that it took place “in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them.”
Meanwhile there appear to be authoritative reports naming the killer as a member of the Al Qaeda government under Al-Sharaa/Al-Jolani who had been a member of his Al Qaeda group ‘HTS’ and that the attack took place during a meeting to discuss next steps.
It’s hard to know where the truth lies, but the allegation that the attack was an insider operation are very specific.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that “the attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement.”
That jibes with the allegation that this was an insider attack and an ISIS terrorist should not have had access to such a meeting.
Whatever the truth of the matter is, three Americans are dead because we’re trying to prop up Qatar and Turkey’s Jihadist state.
The excuse that we’re fighting ISIS in Syria is utter nonsense. Yes, ISIS affiliates in Syria. So are Al Qaeda affiliates. We just lost 3 soldiers on the theory that we should be helping the ‘moderate’ Al Qaeda fight the ‘extremist’ ISIS.
Except that Ahmed al-Sharaa had been tasked with setting up his Jihadist group by the Caliph of ISIS. And at the Doha Forum, the Jihadist made it clear that he thinks Americans are terrorists and that his terrorists are the good guys.
Syria’s Al Qaeda Leader Al-Sharaa at Doha says he’s not a terrorist, America is the real terrorist
“There’s a lot of confusion in the word ‘terrorist'”

Enough of this already. No more nation building. No more propping up whoever Tom Barrack’s backers are. No more dying for Turkey. No more dying for Qatar. No more dying to nation build Muslim countries on behalf of Muslim terrorists while they kill us,
Enough!
