Trump: U.S. Troops Will Be Out Of Syria 'Very Soon'
The Hill ^ | 03/29/18

Posted on 03/29/2018 12:47:41 PM PDT by Enlightened1

President Trump said on Thursday that the U.S. would be out of Syria "very soon" in the fight against ISIS.

"We're knocking the hell out of ISIS. We'll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon," President Trump said in an Ohio speech focused on infrastructure, referring to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria terror group.

"Let the other people take care of it now. Very soon. Very soon, we're coming out. We're going to have a hundred percent of the caliphate, as they call it. Sometimes referred to as land, taking it all back. Quickly, quickly," he continued.

While the U.S. military presence in Syria has been aimed at ISIS, the Trump administration has also criticized Syrian President Bashar Assad, citing his human rights record.

Then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in January that "total withdrawal" would allow Assad to "continue brutal treatment of his own people."

Trump announced earlier this month that Tillerson would be replaced by outgoing CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

You know, this will upset the Globalists that wanted U.S. Troops to be there sort of like a hybrid of Iraq ,Afghanistan and Libya.

Yes Assad is no Angel, but he is a lot better than Obama’s ISIS buddies.

This would be great. But I doubt the NeoCons/Deep State will allow him to do this.

We will find out who is really in command by whether this happens or not. It is an excellent indicator.

Go Trump!

What about Lincoln's "brutal treatment" of his own people? (Southerners)

His "own people" are trying to overthrow his government. They are the enemy..they should be treated as brutally as possible.

I was just going for “soon”. VERY soon is even better, though. :)

I’m not too excited though. When he really means it, he says “very, very”

This is complete nonsense and lunacy! So the US is to intervene where ever there are people being treated brutally, anywhere in the world?

Good grief.

If he can get us out of this one country, then he can start working on getting us out of the other hundred countries around the world.

We aren’t an imperial empire, we are just a stupid one.

I doubt the deepstate/permanent bureaucracy will allow this. Look how they turned Trump around on Afghanistan. We’re stuck there forever
