Wictor’s take on Mattis Resignation Letter - Bottom line=Mattis paragraph creating the buzz is Military Disinfo:
A few points:
1. Our allies captured the last ISIS stronghold on 12/13.
2. 12/19 Pentagon said that we were not withdrawing and also said we were - Keep enemies confused and in the dark
3.New Base has been constructed west of former Islamic Stronghold.
4. Notes a change in mission statement on website:
from providing lethal force to defend and sustain
back to prior statement of: forces to deter war and ensure security.
In other words, Mission Accomplished War Over

Here’s an interesting update involving the Syrian Chemical Attacks we discussed up thread and the related White Helmets Actions. Russia presentation to UN as articulated by RT:

The ‘White Helmets’ are not a rescue group but an extension of jihadist militants, and should be designated a terrorist organization, Russia’s envoy to the UN argued at the presentation of evidence into the group’s wrongdoing. snip
It was in this suburb of Damascus that the White Helmets staged the “chemical attack” that served as the pretext for French, UK and US missile strikes against the Syrian government in April this year. snip
