GOP Lawmaker Thinks ISIS Attack On Iran 'Good Thing'

“isn’t a good thing for us to have the United States finally backing up Sunnis who will attack Hezbollah and the Shiite threat to us?”


:doh

Here we have an elected official saying we should support terrorism so long as it is against our "enemies." Absolutely sick.

You know, we do this thing when it suites us.
This kind of stuff has been going on for a while.

"Moderate" Syrian rebels. :lol:

No doubt, we have supported radical groups in the past when it has fit our agenda. But to explicitly say in public we should support an actual terror attack? That is unique (uniquely stupid).

Just saying for me, I'd rather they be honest about it than *wink and a nod* attitude they do otherwise.

Because they targeted civilians in Parliament and Khomeini's Mausoleum. Because suicide bombers were involved. The only purpose of a suicide bomber is to inflict as much collateral damage as possible.
 
Apparently, Rohrabacher didn't get the memo that the 9/11 hijackers were Sunni, not Shia.

Yes it's disgusting. He also accurately described Obama and Hillary's entire foreign policy in the Middle East. Liberal selective outrage at it's finest. Most people who are rational have consistently decried our M.E. policies.

Clearly, you don't know me. Obama's Middle East policies were one of my biggest criticisms of his administration. He more-or-less continued the Bush neocon policies in the Middle East. But nice try at deflection.

And trump wants to involve us more. We'll see the "outrage" you cons have with trumps foreign policy of kissing Saudi ass and more involvement in the Middle East.

I clearly laid out that the policy advocated by Rohrbacher was disgusting. I clearly pointed out that it was Obama and Hillary's policy of allying with terrorists. As the Sarah Palin pointed out "Obama is always playing around with terrorists" so there is nothing surprising there that Obama loved terrorism. Bush was definitely a Neocon, but unless I missed something he never advocated allying with actual terrorists. If you want to see some deflection look at your own posts.

It's the opposite actually. Proof positive that you literally have no idea what you're talking about and that your TDS is particularly severe.

Once again, where did I advocate Obama's foreign policy?

Trump didn't say we should be targeting the families of terrorists? Trump didn't just sign a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia? Trump didn't just recently bomb Syria?

IMO it is no surprise whatsoever to see the ESTABLISHMENT in DC aka OUR Government supporting terrorist & otherwise 'bad' actors

The US has been doing this for a very long time so, why stop now

American history is replete with OUR Government being complicit to nefarious acts & connected to atrocities

Your & my US tax payer dollars have gone to support the killing of millions around the globe; call it what you like but much of it's still terrorism

Again, nothing new here; the ideas of Rep. Rohrabacher just further demonstrate the collective mindset of the US Government

He did and he's right. That's pretty much the opposite of working with terrorists.

He did. It's abhorrent but there's only a tenuous connection in regards to supporting terrorism.

He did and he's wrong. Hurting Assad or Russia in their efforts to fight Obama's terrorist allies is always wrong.
