The U.S. foreign policy establishment has gone into meltdown mode since President Trump announced last week a withdrawal of several dozen troops from a corridor in northern Syria.

Great job by the prez.. i admit my knee jerk reaction was an automatic vietnam era response.
This is clearly not that.
Me too.
It's a start, and why would I care?
President Trump has a revolutionary idea about wars.
If we get into one, we should win, and we should know what winning means before we start.
My solution for the mooselimb problem is the final soution, which is brutal, but is the only way to stop radical mooselimbs.
Every thinking person knows this is correct, but few want to express those ideas; want proof, read the koran.
For over 1400 years, the mooselimbs have been on a jihad against "the infidel and will not stop until they are successful and rule the world or are wiped out.
