Graham: Removing U.S. Troops from Syria ‘Single Worst Decision the President Could Make’
BREITBART ^ | 1 Apr 2018 | Pam Key

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said if President Donald Trump removed U.S. troops from Syria, it would be “a disaster in the making.”

Graham said, “When it comes to Syria do not read the Obama playbook. This is the Obama playbook, 1 foot in, 1 foot out. This is a disaster in the making. All of his military advisors have said we need to leave troops in Syria to work with them, calm down the conflict between Turkey and the Kurdish fighters who have helped make sure that it does not fall back into the hands of ISIS. There are over 3,000 ISIS fighters still roaming around Syria. We’ve got troops there to protect us and to protect the region. If we withdrew our troops anytime soon ISIS would come back, the war between Turkey and the Kurds would get out of hand, and you would be giving Damascus to the Iranians without an American presence Russia and Iran would dominate Syria.

I think we should trade Graham to Syria for all the US troops that are over there.

That means the President is correct.

Did your buddy McLame tell you to say that Miss Lindsey? McLame hasn’t weighed in on this yet. Hopefully he’s at a point where he can’t speak for himself.

I hope that President Trump stops listening to the War Party. Turks, who are slaughtering Kurds and Christians in northern Syria are supposedly our NATO ally. One can’t help but wonder how many of McCain’s Terrorists are now siding with Turkey. We’ve ALWAYS been on the wrong side of this war, including US mischief having to do with those “spontaneous protests”.

Yeah, we really should listen to a senator. After all, we have such a long and distinguished line of intellects in that circus show.

Headed by McDork, the prince of idiocy who amply demonstrated why he was the bottom of his Annapolis Class.
