From what I can ascertain from the reports, the mission post ISIS in Syria is now keeping Turks from killing Kurds. “Peacekeeping” has led to the death of a great number of Americans and is not ever worth one drop of American blood.

*** President Trumps decides it is in America’s best interest to leave Syria - and, just like clockwork, “ISIS” launches an attack on American positions ... The exact opposite action of what would be logical for them to do: wait out the American withdrawal.

This attack was a “red flag ops” ... ***

Yeah, ISIS traveled 500 miles to do this. That is such BS. False Flag to keep the US in Syria.

Limdsey Graham owns the deaths because he convinced Trump to leave those men in the middle of a witches brew of murderous vendettas and agendas
Furthermore I’m betting it wasn’t ISIS because they have no gain from giving the Lindsey Graham neocons an excuse to sacrifie more Americans in a useless bootprint mission

We already have ISIS cells here in the U.S.

Since when is 500 miles an impossible distance for a terrorist?

Are you seriously going to argue that the Deep State would not do all in its power to keep us in endless wars?

Who created ISIS? Think hard ... I’ll wait.

ISIS is a creation of US.

ISIS targeted American troops, yet ignored Russian troops handing out Humanitarian Aid in Manbij. Since Russia and SAA have done more to decimate ISIS than the West, I find that curious. Oh, wait, I don’t.

As far as traveling 500 miles, why do that when Al Tanf is much closer to ISIS pockets in Syria? IIRC, Manbij has been ISIS free for quite awhile.

I don’t base my decision or opinions on “dramatic sayings” but you’re entitled to your opinion.

Mattis had 40+ years of service, has an outstanding record, the military liked the guy and he knows the Middle East and how to deal with those assholes.

The LGBTQRSTUV BS I hate as well.. but I don’t know his reasons behind his decisions. We’ll see if Shanahan reverses everything you said.

Looks like Trump has slowed his Syrian troop withdrawal significantly. He should have listened to Mattis on Syria and he should have never announced his plan in the first place.. that was dumb at best.
