Tulsi Gabbard

Fascinating.

But I said that, you know?

That's important though.

I mean, this is how we reach people.

Yeah, I mean, I introduced legislation while I was in Congress called the Stop Arming Terrorists Act.

And the fact that that would even have to be done at all is a whole conversation in and of itself.

But this was specific to, under President Obama, how they were both directly and indirectly arming actual terrorists in Syria in that regime change war.

And again, not thinking through, I mean, they saw, okay, well, these terrorists, you know, it was al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, these various terrorist organizations there that we as taxpayers were funding because President Obama wanted to topple the regime in Syria.

And obviously these guys were the most effective fighting force that they thought would be able to do that.

And I served on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees in Congress as this was going on.

And when I asked questions about, well, okay, so this is your goal.

Your goal is regime change.

Who's going to fill the vacuum?

Who is going to lead the country of Syria?

Oh, well, you know, there's this political opposition group.

It's like, that's bullshit.

When you're arming Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist terrorist groups...

They are and will be the most powerful force on the ground.

And their goal, you may not agree with it, but their goal, they'll be happy to take your money or our money as taxpayers and the weapons that we provide, and they will then fill that vacuum of leadership.

That is who would replace the regime.
