"And it's a huge disgrace to hear our commander-in-chief basically

With Israel being good friends with Saudi Arabia, it's unfortunate that

Watch Tulsi Gabbard Wipe The Floor With A Well-Known War Hawk

Sat, 09/21/2019 - 14:45

Let's face it: despite one notable exception at Fox, Tucker Carlson, the
conservative network remains stacked with war hawk pundits - especially
when it comes to Washington's longtime arch-villain Iran. Almost two
decades after 9/11, and after the rise of ISIS - both long documented to
have had the hidden hand of Saudi state Wahhabism behind them - the US
hawks still insist Tehran is the real global threat while "Riyadh is our
friend".

Which is why it was so refreshing this week to see the thorn in the
establishment Democratic presidential nominee Tulsi Gabbard so expertly
and with ease dismantle Fox's remnant neocon talking points on Iran. As
we've covered many times before, what makes her non-interventionist and
anti regime change arguments so effective is that she herself has "skin
in the game" - to use Taleb - as an Iraq War veteran and current Army
reserve officer. She appeared on Fox where longtime anchor Neil Cavuto
sought to skewer her recent biting criticisms of the Trump
administration for acting like "Saudi Arabia's bitch" and not with
"America first" in mind (a US foreign policy trend spanning
administrations over decades).

"Look Neil, I'm a soldier," Gabbard began after Cavuto went on the
offensive. "And I took an oath as a soldier as well as a member of
Congress to support and defend our Constitution of the United States, to
serve the American people."

"And it's a huge disgrace to hear our commander-in-chief basically put
us in a position -the American people, our men and women in uniform, our
military assets - in a position where we are servants of the Saudi
kingdom. Standing by and awaiting their orders on how we should
proceed."

Specifically she had criticized the president's early remarks following
the twin attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities last week, where Trump
tweeted he's "waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe
was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!".

The Your World anchor thought she would back down after point blank
saying - "a president Gabbard would see Saudi Arabia as a bigger threat
to our country than Iran."

"What I would like to see is Saudi Arabia ending their support for
Al-Qaeda," the Hawaiian Congresswomen retorted.

It got further heated from the

"I'm sorry, that's not what I asked," Cavuto said, pressing.

"I know," Gabbard said. "You're turning my words around."

"I want to just be very clear," Cavuto said. "You have a higher
opinion of Iran than Saudi Arabia?"

"No, that's not what I'm saying."

Cavuto asked Gabbard to expand.

"I'm focused on how we can best keep the American people safe.
On how we can make sure that we have our national security
intact," she said.

"And the Saudis are a bigger threat to that safety than Iran?!"
Cavuto said.

"The Saudis are directly supporting the very terrorist group
that attacked us on 9/11 and that continue to pose a threat
to the American people today!" Gabbard said.

Cavuto looked exasperated and speechless by the end of it, in surely
what was an outside-the-establishment argument that he wasn't used to
hearing, given the norm of Fox (which prior to 2017 had a significant
chunk of its parent company 21st Century Fox owned by Saudi investors)
consistently toeing the Saudi line on everything from Syria to Yemen to
Iran.

Indeed Gabbard remains a rare voice: as a veteran seeking to dismantle
American Empire and its regime change wars abroad, akin to a "Ron Paul
of the Left".

This is why it appears the Democrats are doing everything they can to
keep her out of the debates, despite her consistently polling higher
than some of those who do make it to the stage.

Kneejerk anti Israel hatred strikes again.

I hear that magnesium is good for this stuff.

Gabbard is being marginalized by the DNC and the MSM because she isin't
a war-hawk that will us the US military to do Israel's bidding.

If you want to call that "Israel hatred" then so be it. Many americans
should, I guess, hate Israel for all the blood and treasure lost
fighting their battles.

You mean jewish lightning?
