Bolton Replaces McMaster as National Security Advisor

McMaster to Resign as National Security Adviser, and Will Be Replaced by John Bolton (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mcmaster-to-resign-as-national-security-adviser-and-will-be-replaced-by-john-bolton/ar-BBKzUaa)
WASHINGTON — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, the battle-tested Army officer tapped as President Trump’s national security adviser last year to stabilize a turbulent foreign policy operation, will resign and be replaced by John R. Bolton, a hard-line former United States ambassador to the United Nations, White House officials said Thursday.

I think this is a great move. I still remember when the UN was pushing their small arms treaty and the Obama administration was looking at it with interest, John Bolton was totally opposed to it.

Obama’s parting shot (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/dec/15/un-arms-trade-treaty-gives-away-rights-of-american/)The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty gives away the rights of all Americans (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/dec/15/un-arms-trade-treaty-gives-away-rights-of-american/)

From the very start though, gun control groups looked upon the treaty as an end run around America’s domestic reluctance to adopt their agenda — if Congress and the state legislatures wouldn’t pass gun control why not get the U.N. to make it a permanent part of its agenda or even better part of international law? Gun control groups have pursued their agenda at the organization since 1995 but were frustrated by the likes of Ambassador John R. Bolton who single-handedly stopped a U.N. treaty effort in 2001 that would have regulated U.S. civilian firearms.

It seems like we are getting both people getting fired and other jumping ship.

The commies are going to have a field day.

But in the the end, it is all misdirection and distraction.

Bolton should have been in from the beginning.
Good move!

[roberth]

This is a good move.

This was long overdue. McMaster held to the Obama view that Islamic jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and that we mustn’t offend Muslims by noting the obvious fact that there are numerous Islamic texts and teachings that exhort Muslims to wage war against unbelievers.

Bolton better be worth the $1.3T we likely just paid for him.

Yeah if you mean worth it in terms of war. [emoji849]

This was the same guy who said he believed Saddam had chemical and bio weapons munitions and justified the war in Iraq on those pretenses.

Russia is fielding a huge new rocket. 3 times the size of our Minuteman III. One of these could turn Colorado into a place nobody could live in for thousands of years. On the other hand, the alien civilization depicted in the Chilbolton crop circle could be a extinction level event. I'm so sad it has come to this. Washington is so screwed up. Maybe we can survive this administration too.DC= Deception City

Saddam used the weapons on the Kurds, so he did have them. The delays by the UN in taking action allowed him to either move or destroy them.

Practically everyone believed Saddam had chemical weapons because he did. As Gman said, he used them on his own people and with all the fiddle-fuckin' around had plenty of time to move them or hide them. Bolton (and everyone else who believed Saddam had WMDs) believed the way he did because just about every US and foreign intelligence source out there was saying he did. He didn't just come up with that on his own.

We have had presence in Iraq for 15 years now. Where are the stockpiles of scary chem?

If him having chemical weapons was an actual problem, we'd have done something after Halabja.

Saddam was a secular dictator with dreams of grandeur, and was despised by the likes of Osama Bin Laden as an apostate from Islam. He was no supporter of the likes which we faced over there post-invasion. Heck, I've been served food by a guy we saw on videos chopping off heads. One day he is AQI-aligned in Ameriyah, and the next he's an ally? BULLSHIT.

What changed from this interview in 1994 to 2003, except an excuse to enact a globalist plan to destabilize the Middle East? What we should have done is make Saddam a good ally instead of the retarded CIA crap of giving over Middle East assets to the Russians. We got rid of one Saddam for hundreds of Saddams and Bin Ladens, be they nationalists or actual jihadis. I'm not saying Saddam was a good guy, but he was a far sight better than Iraq today.

Further, when has Bashar Al-Assad ever supported terrorism? His own father was castigated by the international community for bringing to life the wetdream style quotes of General Mattis. He utterly slaughtered the Sunni terrorists when they tried to overthrow the Assad regime, back in the 1980's. Being an Alawite sect Muslim, he's less dangerous to US interests than our own politicians.

What good did overthrowing Ghaddafi or Mubarak do? In Mubarak's place we got a dedicated adherent to the friggin' Muslim Brotherhood (Morsi).

Libya is in utter chaos.

Who, and what, does such destabilization serve? Certainly not the average person on the ground in the Middle East and certainly not the US.

Saddam funding terrorism against Israel was stabilizing the Middle East?

he had very small caches of chem. munitions scattered about Iraq but not large stockpiles as we thought.

There are people who believe he was a Sunni barrier against Shia Iran.

It has been interesting to see the flow of weapons to ISIS. They seem to have benefited from US support during Obama's secret wars while "FSA" and Iran. I'm not sure ISIS could have been a thing if Saddam still controlled western Iraq.

We give far more money to Palestine than Saddam ever gave. Do you honestly believe with the grift in the Middle East, especially amongst Arabs, that money actually goes to non-terrorists, so-called?

In 2016 the US gave $368,429,712 to UNRWA, which all goes to the Palestinians.

If we want to talk about funding Palestinian terrorism against Israel, perhaps we should look in a mirror.

There ya have it. Thank you State Department ya bunch of musloid kissing morons. Hopefully President Trump will put an end to money for palestinians.

What do you guys think of the Saudi Prince that is reaching out to Israel in the face of further conflict with Iran?

I don't know how related this is, and Middle East stuff is pretty low on my knowledge scale, but thought I'd ask and see what people in here thought about that recent development.

More likely a move against Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy, than Iran per se. If a 2 state solution were to be worked, Iran would be marginalized because it takes away a lot of their anti-Israel clout in the region. The Shia and Sunni issue gets obfuscated on national lines, but it's not a national issue. The very idea of nation states in the region, at least in a modern sense, is a post-British colonial accretion. All those countries' modern borders are fabricated. Previously, they cordoned off based on tribal and cultural affinity. The so-called royal house of Saud is a sham. Ibn Saud was nothing more than a local warlord who played nice with the Brits.

Thanks.
