funny thing: Trump is going to support Delcy and give a boot to Machado. Delcy pisses on Israel, blames Israel for Maduro's apprehension and is garbage. Machado was elected. Great op!!!!, no doubt, but to support a jihadi? Is the support of a jihadi tied to Qatar's compromise of Trump? Meanwhile the Iranians being murdered in their streets are being thrown under the bus - NO media coverage. Israel about to launch on Iran's rebuilt missiles, now we see a lot of action with military aircraft being deployed to Eurabia again.... I am very confused.... well, let's see. - Dan Seidel

I don't get the Machado thing either. A number of people watching that presser had the same response re: Machado.... Let's see how this plays out. Trump didn't sound too happy with Delcy today either. Maybe it does end up being Gonzalez. But like stock markets, nations hate uncertainty. They need a plan, fast.

Another fine piece by Paul & Chris . . . . . well balanced , etc. Excellent work by our military and intel guys , YES , , , , but let's be sure we get the invoice paid this time by the 'rescued' country. Bush said Iraqi oil would pay for that invasion. It never happened. That's known in the law as LYING . Let's tally up the cost this time and deduct it out of the oil pumps even if it takes a decade. Let's also start w/ 2 elections; an emergency interim vote in one month , , ,then a more permanent election in 4 months. . . . . .then we deal with the next pres. of this ' beautiful " country. ........ and we mail him/her an invoice for $500 mill for starters. if the invoice gets ignored, we send our ' collection agency " in there to enforce the money judgment. ......and we add in another $50 mill for that. ...and we get exxon /mobil/chevron to chip in 15% of their revenues that spring from this caper, as well . . .sort of like a broker's commission they have to pay to mr. and mrs. john q. public . . . . .RECALL :

..... ....'those who forget history are doomed to repeat it . . . ' so that was a nice succinct and POWERFUL recounting of the prior debacles , Mr. Flanagan. . .

Anyone can whine about Trump, but anyone saying they don't understand what he is about is a moron or a liar. What transparency looks like.
