DO NOT DO THIS, MR. PRESIDENT!
The president has been bold and steadfast in dealing with Iran, our sworn enemy. Iran has slaughtered American troops, it is the largest state-sponsor of Islamic terrorism around the world, it threatens the United States with long-range nuclear missiles (which it seeks to acquire), it is attempting to devour Iraq, Yemen, parts of Syria, destabilize Saudi Arabia and even Egypt, and prepares for all-out war with Israel. Iran's terrorist regime seeks to build a caliphate in the Middle East and beyond. The president has understood this. Yet, the stunning announced decision by the administration this morning, to immediately withdraw what amounts to 2,000 American personnel from Syria, will result in Iran, along with Hezbollah and their sponsor Russia, filling the void and surrendering a significant and important region of the world to our enemies. This is a very, very bad idea. The fact is that the administration's decision to drop the Iran deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran has had an enormously beneficial effect; it has begun to weaken Iran's economy and undermine support for the Islamic-fascist regime. But a decision now to leave Syria altogether undermines what has been a brilliant and effective policy up to this point. Syria is not Afghanistan, where we have had tens of thousands of troops and significant casualties over a fifteen year period. The U.S. has been very successful in a precisely limited and skillfully executed operation in Syria. To abandon it now is an extremely unwise act, even a provocative act, which will emboldened Iran, Hezbollah, and Russian. I would strongly discourage the president from abandoning what has been a significant and crucial achievement up to now and seriously rethink the apparent decision. It's in America's national security interest to hold fast.
Let Israel handle it.
Mark Levin is wrong. We don’t need U.S. troops on the ground inside Syria.
This whole pattern of undeclared wars is troublesome.
Why do we need ground troops there.
If we aren’t going to take it over, then we shouldn’t be hanging out in active war zones.
President Trump campaigned on getting our troops out of endless mid-East wars. I’m glad he’s finally started.
Syria is another lynchpin in the ME, and if it falls to the muzzies (SPIT!), the rest of the dominoes will fall, too. If SA falls, all hell will break loose, worse than it’s been.
I am happy to see a President who can declare victory and bring our troops out of a war. It’s been a long time since that has happened. https://t.co/fEBb8080fK— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 19, 2018
I sure as hell didn't elect Donald Trump to "Make Syria Great Again."
Jeb Bush ended his 2016 campaign less popular than a child molester because Americans are tired of having a Sunni Islamic government in Washington.
MAGA.
Yeah!
That’s what Levin is worried about?
never shoulda been there......

So when is Levin suiting up...?
Maybe he and Bolton can be battle buddies clearing the streets of Aleppo.
Mark is right, Iran is the #1 killer of American servicepeople in Iraq - they build, and train people to build and deploy most of the IEDs that have killed and maimed so many servicepeople over the years. Screw Iran.
He has a point about the Iran filling the void in Syria. Not sure what Trump is thinking, though the 2000 soldiers is a small number and their task their is ostensibly not to fight but to train others - though I am sure we have some special ops working the field in Syria too. Maybe he thinks the Kurds can step up. Maybe it is part of his larger “deal of the century” for ME peace.
This ain’t our fight, Mr. Neocon Levin.
Which muzzies? It's muzzie now. It seems there are two sides and frankly, seems to me that we're on the side that's got the radicals in it. If you wonder how such a thing could be possible, remember that it was Obama that got is into it. Who did he always support?
It's their civil war, let them sort it out. And certainly if we do choose sides, don't choose the side that aligns with ISIS.
Levin is wrong again.
Nothing in Syria, or any other sovereign nation, is any of our business.
Levin showing his Neo-Con views, the U.S. has no business in Syria and we need to get out.
