President Trump has been making public statements about removing troops from Syria for months -- if not longer. Do you really think he just woke up a couple of days ago and decided to do it right then and there? LOL.

Not at all. But where was the withdrawal coordinated with the Kurds? That is basic military practice. This was not a Dunkirk-style withdrawal, which was an essential measure that would enabler Great Britain to continue the fight; this was a cut-and run that is leaving an ally to be wiped out. Like the Kurds or hate them, they were an ally in the fight against ISIS, and we owed it to them to coordinate the withdrawal. Trump ignored pretty much ALL of his military advisors on this one.
As I stated previously, I support withdrawing our troops from Syria. But the manner in which it was handled is inexplicable.
