    Tulsi Gabbard, reportedly left for Damascus on Wednesday

    Go Tulsi

    US congresswoman to visit Syria



    BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:25 P.M.) - The Democratic representative of Hawaii, Tulsi Gabbard,
    reportedly left for Damascus on Wednesday to conduct a "fact finding" mission
    to end the war plaguing the country.

    "Tulsi felt it was important to meet with a number of individuals
    and group including religious leaders, humanitarian workers, refugees, and government and community leaders,"
    Gabbard's spokesperson Emily Latimer told Foreign Policy on Wednesday.

    Gabbard is one of the few members of the U.S. Congress that has spoken out
    against the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and his government.

    In addition to her outspoken criticism of U.S. regime change hawks,
    Gabbard also introduced a bill this month that would have the U.S. government
    stop supplying weapons to terrorist groups.

    Gabbard's spokesperson did not confirm whether or not
    she will meet with President Assad;
    however, almost all foreign diplomats
    that have traveled to Syria in the past
    have met with him.

    surely Trump knows.

    Gubbard will be the Dem nominee at some point, probably 2024. and while she has some good positions, she is also quite progressive and is also a friend of Adelson. Rand or Amash would have a hard time beating her.

    ...remember, to anyone not a glenn beck radio-republican 'progress' is positive..

    late Middle English (as a noun): from Latin progressus ‘an advance,’ from the verb progredi, from pro- ‘forward’ + gradi ‘to walk.’


    e.d. writes:'Not a fan of neocons but lately they are taking beatings from so many sides.'

    ...two points: 1.) trump seems to have a lot of 'neocon' in him...2.) thoughtful people understand 'conservatives,' both 'neo' and 'paleo,' have always deserved a bloody beating...

    I was asked,
    Why
    is the United States and its allies helping al-Qaeda
    and other terrorist groups try to take over Syria?
    Syria did not attack the United States. Al-Qaeda did.’
    I had no answer."











    US Congresswoman: Syria regime change doesn’t serve US interests



    US Congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard, recently visited Syria,
    and even met with President Bashar Al-Assad.
    She also visited the recently liberated areas in the city of Aleppo,
    and spoke to civilians and soldiers there.

    A recently published post on her website quoted her saying
    "“My visit to Syria has made it abundantly clear:
    Our counterproductive regime change war does not serve America’s interest,
    and it certainly isn’t in the interest of the Syrian people.
    As I visited with people from across the country,
    and heard heartbreaking stories of how this war has devastated their lives,
    I was asked, ‘Why is the United States and its allies helping al-Qaeda
    and other terrorist groups try to take over Syria?
    Syria did not attack the United States. Al-Qaeda did.’
    I had no answer."

    Regarding her meeting with Assad, she said
    "Originally, I had no intention of meeting with Assad,
    but when given the opportunity, I felt it was important to take it.
    I think we should be ready to meet with anyone
    if there’s a chance it can help bring about an end to this war,
    which is causing the Syrian people so much suffering."

    She concluded her statement by insisting that the USA should cut-off all support to the armed opposition.
    Specifically, she said



    “The U.S. must stop supporting terrorists who are destroying Syria and her people.
    The U.S. and other countries fueling this war must stop immediately.
    We must allow the Syrian people to try to recover from this terrible war.”

    US congresswoman meets with Syrian President in Damascus



    BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:20 A.M.) - U.S. Congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard (D) of Hawaii,
    told CNN on Wednesday that she met with Syrian President, Bashar Al-Assad, in Damascus
    during her unannounced visit to Syria two weeks ago.

    Gabbard told CNN that her trip to Syria was an educational one,
    as she met with several Syrian civilians and community leaders across the country
    to understand their plight.

    At one point during her trip, Gabbard asked Syrian civilians
    if they knew of any moderate rebel forces;
    they told the congresswoman that there were no moderates rebels,
    despite what the U.S. government claims.

    Gabbard reportedly traveled to Aleppo during her trip and met with several soldiers and civilians,
    while also touring the recently captured eastern neighborhoods.

    Unlike other members of Congress, Gabbard
    has been a major advocate to end the sale and distribution of weapons
    to terrorist groups in Syria and several countries in the region.

    Due to her stance, Gabbard has faced backlash
    from members of her own political party and U.S. journalists;
    however, this has had little affect on the outspoken U.S. congresswoman and army veteran.






    He starts off with Bani.. the little Al Qaeda 'Shirley Temple'. Unbelievable how scripted CNN is.
    I just want to reach thru the screen and strangle him. Please. So diabolical. I can't hardly take it.

    This is a perfect example where coalition building can help us bring Liberty. She is telling the truth, that means so much more then a meaningless liberal democrat label. We need to work with all comers to advance Liberty where they will work with us.

    Democrats are referring to Tulsi Gabbard as alt-right. Even if you're a female minority Democrat you aren't safe from SJWs.
    Stop believing stupid things
