Qassem Soleimani’s (Iran) Letter To The US: Leave Syria Or Else! Could 2018 Become Beirut 1983?
Elijah J M | ايليا ج مغناير ^ | By Elijah J. Magnier

Well informed sources have said the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp Brigadier General Haj Qassem Soleimani sent a verbal letter, via Russia, to the head of the US forces commander in Syria, advising him to pull out all US forces to the last soldier “or the doors of hell will open up”.

“My message to the US military command: when the battle against ISIS (the Islamic State group) will end, no American soldier will be tolerated in Syria. I advise you to leave by your own will or you will be forced to it”, said Soleimani to a Russian officer. Soleimani asked the Russian responsible to expose the Iranian intentions towards the US: that they will be considered as forces of occupation if these decide to stay in north-east Syria where Kurds and Arab tribes cohabit together.

The Russians are not against the US presence and can adapt to this after defining the demarcation lines to avoid any clash. But Iran has a clear position and has decided not to abandon the Syrian President alone to face the US forces, if these stay behind.

Soleimani’s letter to the US clearly indicated the promise of ‘surprise measures’ against the US: ” You shall face soldiers and forces you have not experienced before in Syria and you will leave the country sooner or later”.

Russia conveyed to the US that Iran will stay in Syria as long as President Assad decides, he who insists in liberating the entire territory from all forces without exception. Russia confirmed to the US its intention to refrain from offering any air support to Iran and its allies in the case of attacks on US forces. From the Russian perspective, the Iran-US dispute is not its concern nor on its agenda.

I think if they had the capability of hurting the US they’d just go ahead and do it. A letter of warning is really a signal that they lack the ability to carry through on their threats. We have much less to fear when they are making threats. It’s when we can see through intel that they are doing something, but they aren’t talking about it that we have to worry.

We have no business being in Syria. President Trump’s stated goal was to defeat ISIS. which was a direct result of Obama’s insanity. We should leave, and be thankful Syria didn’t become Libya or Iraq.

Lieutenant General Paul E. Funk II is the current commander of US forces in Syria. Here is his bio:

This does not sound like an individual to mess around with.

There isn’t even a vague resemblance to 1983.
Our presence in 1983 was counter productive to US interests.

Reagan quite properly realized that foggy bottom had maneuvered us into a position where our troops were improperly positioned protecting muslims in Lebanon from a buttwhipping they had thoroughly earned. He pulled out on that basis.

On the other hand, there is no great positive in being in Syria, and if pulling out lets Syria and Turkey go toe to toe then that ties up resources those two places would otherwise throw against the west. Leaving Syria sounds okay but it isn’t the no brainer leaving Lebanon was.

Iranians and American conservative non-interventionists share a common goal. Both want the USA out of the Middle East. For too many years, that region has been a drain on our military, finances and future national strength and well-being.

Since we have achieved a measure of energy independence, we should vacate the region and let the locals see to their own regional equilibrium with a minimum of American offshore influence.
