Trump Digs In on Syria Decision
October 7, 2019 at 5:57 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trump dug in on his decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria as Turkey prepares an operation in the region, while members of his own party lined up to criticize the move, The Hill reports.
Trump said he has great respect for the prominent Republicans who are urging him to reconsider his strategy, but that its time to come back home.
He added: Weve been there for many, many, many years beyond what we were supposed to be. Not fighting. Just there. Just there. And its time to come back home.

idiots ever considered what happened to Armenia when the Turks were left to their devises.

But he just bragged about how "our troops" beat ISIS "on the ground." The fact is that the Kurds beat ISIS on the ground. We provided air cover. He just admitted at the Kurds did the fighting.
He's despicable, more despicable by the hour.

can Assad, et al, slap a pipeline to the Mediterranean together? Land use fees, notwithstanding, rebuilding the Syrian nation shouldn't be any problem either, right, once Russian sanctions removed?
