Minutes before a small group of key lawmakers were scheduled to discuss the sudden withdrawal of all U.S. troops from northern Syria with President Donald Trump, 129 House Republicans broke ranks and voted Wednesday to rebuke decision.
The move to cross party lines and vote with Democrats to condemn the overseas directive showed the overwhelming bipartisan opposition and frustration with Trump for wanting to remove personnel from the Middle Eastern region as Turkey takes military action against Syrian Kurdish forces. The Kurds are American allies who the U.S. has fought alongside for years in an effort to eradicate ISIS from Syria.
The final vote was 354-60, with all of the no votes coming from Republicans. Top party members voted for the measure, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, GOP Policy Committee Chairman Gary Palmer (R-AL) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), the top Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee who cosponsored the legislation with the panel's Democratic chairman.

What’s wrong with quitting a battlefield and letting your allies be slaughtered?
Got to look at what districts the 129 came from.
If ISIS hits here we just deal with them here.
Our soldiers do not belong over there.
The Dems/RINOs and Globalists are most likely actively praying for ISIS to attack the US.
They should all immediately volunteer to be jetted into Syria to defend the Kurds.
The House Republicans are in somebody’s pocket. Don’t know whose, but it isn’t the American people’s.
We need to call everyone of them and say just what you said.
More Rinos to primary. They have shown us how useless they are.
Right. Seems to me they are worried about the wrong border. It’s as plain as day to everyone out of Washington that we should not still be fighting these endless wars.
They did the very same thing when Hussein attacked Libya, no?
questions:
1) are the urban military recruiting centers filling up with infantry and grunt volunteers?
2) is the House willing to pass a declaration of war, establishing a draft?
no? hmmm. So much manufactured hot air in DC, it surely must be measurable on the global warming index.
Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution gives CONGRESS the power to declare war. Put your money where your mouth is, boys.
YAWN...........
So we have two Middle East countries/tribes who hate each other, have been fighting for hundreds of years, and will continue to fight for thousands of years. I’m tired of these endless, pointless Middle East wars. I back the President.
Yep. Belly up to the bar, boys and place your order. Do it you pukes, declare war or sit down and shut up.
Lord I’m sick of this crap.
Peach
Steve Scalise???...so disappointing
Indeed we do!!!
