This new Saudi king just extorted tens of billions of dollars from his relatives. We provide security, so where’s our cut?

I’d rather see the $4B go to removing every single Wahhabist mosque that Saudi Arabia built here in the US.

In this article Gen. Joseph L. Votel admits that Assad has already won.
It’s Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), Tillerson and Nikki Haley that say Assad has to go.
The U.S. commanders have said their military mission in Syria remains limited to defeating the Islamic State.
U.S. troops in Syria were points of contention between Tillerson and Trump, starkly different views about prospects for Assad and the peace process remain within the administration.
In another article:
When our troops were attacked early February, Mattis said: “It was self-defense, we are not getting engaged in the Syrian civil war. We are there to fight Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, that’s what those troops were doing in that position:.
Coordinating strikes against ISIS.”
That last statement is reassuring that we are not fighting the Syrian regime, we are fighting ISIS.

How can you have peace without Bashar al-Assad and the Alawites ? Who will protect the religious minorities? Certainly not the Saudis.

The Saudis are the terrorists, not the Syrians. This is back asswards.
Trump promised to get us out of Syria. It’s time to leave.

Looks like more Christian genocide coming. For the NeoCons, not for America.

More straight, honest reporting from the Post I’m sure.

Obama, Clinton and McCain owned the Syrian policy of America overthrowing sovereign states and thought it would fall as fast as Libya. Why would President Trump even step a toe into this fiasco?
