President Donald Trump was irresponsible when he spoke before the CIA on Monday, mentioned Iraq and said we should have taken the Oil. That statement could put our troops stationed in Iraq and other middle east countries in danger of reprisals and terror attacks at a time when our troops are in a support position. It is against international law to seize another country's assets. That is why the U.S. and its allies removed Iraq from Kuwait during the Gulf War of 1991.
This is serious business especially since the President added something to the effect that maybe there is still the chance to take the oil, we will see. That is a dangerous policy statement from a reckless President and the safety of our country and our men and women in uniform. Five days in office and the President has learned very little. He can issue all the executive orders he wants and continue to Pout because Clinton won the popular vote but he has yet learned how to be President.
