    "He hasn't made clear why"

    Yes he has. We all know why. It's because he's a wannabe dictator who's also trying to distract people from his rape and murder of children.

    The middle east in the middle east is its own clusterfuck of "crusades", with or without American involvement. Not that that's any reason for the US to be there anyway.

    I think you are missing the point. The crusades were a political vehicle to gain favor with the Catholic Church at the time, plunder, and express power against a faceless people.

    The only difference now is that team Trump thinks that it will give him some leverage against Americans or his political opponents.
