Ex-NATO commander: Allies wondering if Trump was blackmailed to pull troops out of Syria

A former commander of NATO said allies of the U.S. are asking whether President Trump was blackmailed by Turkey to pull U.S. military forces out of Syria.

In a CNN segment Monday, Wesley Clark, a retired Army general and former Democratic presidential candidate, said there was no apparent strategic logic for the move that critics view as an abdication to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"You have to ask why was the decision made?" Clarke said on Christmas Eve. "People around the world are asking this and some of our friends and allies in the Middle East are asking, did Erdogan blackmail the president? Was there a payoff or something? Why would a guy make a decision like this? Because all the recommendations were against it. And it looked like all the facts were against it, too."

"We're not quite finished with we're not taking a lot of casualties over there," he added. "The Kurds have been reliable allies. Why do this right now?"

Here's the documentation for much of his handiwork slaughtering Serb civilians (the website is very old and in keeping with the latest 90s web design so be prepared for moving objects and flashing lights):

To give some flavor to Weaselly Clark's efforts to kill civilians and help his Muslim Albanian friends - former SS troops (aka the KLA) - seize Kosovo - with major assists from the complicit US media to create and disseminate vile anti-Serbian propaganda.

Any veteran, including Generals, who is a Democrat must be full of self hate and loathing.

Yep, knew who it was when I saw the headline.

[faucetman]

“Wesley Clark” always brings to mind a video of him when running for president, when asked a question by reporters, had to call his handlers/supporters to tell him how or if he should answer the question.

What a FAKE, PHONEY, POS, excuse for a human being. FUWC.

[hal ogen]

I am “wondering” if this LIB degenerate clark is a very large nitwit with “issues”.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever had as many responses to a post ever here on FR!
Thanks to all of you for the great information you have shared about this feckless turd, and likely war criminal.
And the info about how Mattis was hopeful of being SecDef for Hitlary. I just hope and pray that President Trump has changed his criteria for making appointments. He has to know that virtually all of Washington is opposed to his Presidency, and that the foremost criterion for an appointee is total agreement on Trump’s policies and direction. It is unseemly and destructive to have appointed Mattis, Tillerson, and this a$$hole Wray (to the FBI), when they repeatedly undermine the President.
