#1 Whiskey tango...?

What is our interest in Idlib? In Syria?

WHY?

#2 Graham is mighty forgiving of Turkish backstabbing, almost as if he likes it.

#5 Now why would Lindsey say this? It's an amazingly bad idea.

Theory: Whatever the Trump admin proposes, the Dems are against automatically. Lindsey says no-fly zone. Everyone freaks out. Trump says OK we're not going to do what we weren't going to do anyway. Great Victory for the Dems. And Trump is immunized against some idiot calling for a no-fly zone.

#6 I'd sooner quarantine turkey! They're refusing to control their borders and let the corona virus into their neighbours.

#9 Moderate rebels are a bureaucratic state investment. Investments tend to be protected.

#10 Why? There is no need and no strategic goal that this needs to make it happen.

Shut up Graham. Let the kids slap fight it out.

#11 Lindsey has been fairly unpredictable lately. He does have to face us SC voters in a primary in June or July (separate from the Democrat one tomorrow), and so he may be zigging and zagging...he is unpopular with a fairly large segment of the Republican party down here.

#13 Declare it Uncontrolled Airspace instead.

Because that's what it is.
