Why?

Mainly to keep Turkish troops from killing Kurds.

False flag to keep the Military Industrial Complex in business.

Did I miss the declaration of war or AUOF vote for Syria.

The US really needs to stop just showing up in civil wars.

Trump was right trying to get them out but the Democrats and media made a big deal of it so he slowed it down. And the Secretary of Defense quit over it. Now they are justifying the American military presence by telling us how important our soldiers are. But rest assured the deaths will be blamed on Trump one way or another.

It will be used as a reason to keep us there and get more of our best young men and women killed in an extravagant foreign adventure that does NOT involve US national security. C’mon, Trump, get rid of the neocons from your Administration; we don’t need them, we don’t want them, let them Democrats have them and follow their disastrous policies.

The latest on today’s attack:

Two U.S. soldiers and two American citizens were among those killed Wednesday in a suicide bombing in northern Syria.

U.S. Central Command says one of the civilians was employed by the Defense Department and the other was a contractor. The names of the American victims were being withheld until their families are notified.

Why are US troops in the Syrian city of Manbij?>>>>>>>>

Taunting Errdogan and Putin.

Lets start shipping armored cavalry vehicles, including tanks,
cannon, choppers and other ordnance to our US Kurd allies.Let the Russian supporting Kurds rot.

I’d sure like to see our troops entirely out of the middle east, but if we;re going to pull out of syria now - the least we could do is blow up the turkish tanks and artillery that are waiting and lined up on the border.

My theory is that the CIA was involved in the blast.

This does not sync with reports I got today.

ABC doesn’t have a clue, but writes anyway.

So were an invasion force in a country we haven't been invited into, which never attacked us, with no authorization, to keep two of our allies from killing each other. In a war that never wouldn't have happened if Obama's and GWB's regime change outrages hadn't destabilized the Mideast.

I was so happy when President Trump said he was pulling our troops (who aren't there legally) out of Syria. We should leave, and if anything, help Assad get the Turks out of Syrian territory.
