Regardless, I am one who does not think Trump is God and is indeed, human. He is capable of making mistakes and this is one of them. I think Trump was supremely naïve in this decision.
Dave how long are we supposed to leave OUR OWN in danger I think 20 years is enough!!! Some of these kids over there weren’t even born when this conflict started enough is enough already!!!!
I think being in Syria in the first place was a mistake, at best. I suspect the reason Obamadork wanted us involved in Syria may have been more nefarious than a simple mistake. Doubling down on mistakes is generally not a good thing in my experience. I think getting out of Syria as soon as practical is a good move.
So what would you have us do - stay in northeastern Syria in perpetuity, without a clear mission or exit strategy? Our troops were initially sent to the region to assist with logistics and training, not to fight. Yet they wound up fighting (and dying) for a generation. They destroyed the ISIS caliphate and scattered the ISIS command structure. They recaptured the capital of Raqqa and gave the Kurds a wide swath of land east of the Euphrates. It is past time to withdraw, and I suggest we redeploy those troops to defend our nation’s border. And it is time for our NATO allies in Europe and the sub-Saharan continent to handle peacekeeping and maintain order. We’re 7,000 miles from Syria. Those countries are closer in proximity and have more pressing geopolitical interests than we do.

Indeed. Trump is only human and can mistakes. This one, however, is an easy call.
I am against it if the open borders GOPe and Dems are for it. Send America’s best to defend our borders and not the Middle East. I say that as someone initially supportive of the Iraq War.
This decision was a no-brainer, since the U.S. troops had no business occupying Syria in the first place. It’s always a no-brainer when you make a decision that outrages globalist jerks like Bill Kristol, Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot.
