A poll released Wednesday found that 57 percent of Republicans support President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria.
An Economist/YouGov survey shows 25 percent of Republican respondents said they strongly approve of pulling out troops, while 32 percent stated they somewhat approve of the move. Further, 26 percent of Republicans surveyed said they oppose the move and 18 percent said they do not hold an opinion on the matter. The poll surveyed 1,500 people between October 13th-15th and had a margin of error of plus or minus of 2.7 percentage points.

There is no process in the NATO charter to expel a member. Which is another reason we should not be in NATO any longer.
Send Crenshaw to Idlib where he can make a last stand with his Al Qaeda friends. Animal Assad will be taking them out shortly.
Trump has deftly now made the Republicans the party of peace and prosperity and the DemoKKKrats the party of the rich, the party of poverty, and the party of war.
Yes. They never should have been in. Turkey’s one reason for being in NATO was to cut off the Soviets from access to the Med. That’s not needed now.
You people in South Carolina need to let Lindsey know how you feel.
Graham did terrible when he tried to run for POTUS. People obviously don’t want him to be president for good reason.
Exit door?
Won’t happen before we fully repossess those B61 nukes I understand are still at Incirlik.
Why hasn’t that been done?

Turkey has definitely NOT been a reliable ally or contributing member to Nato for at least two or three decades now and it would be nice to jettison them. But turkey does sit in a geographically strategic region, and it would be better to bring them back into the western fold than to have them become strong Russian allies, if they can walk back from the radical Islamic tilt of late. That’s a big ‘if’.
Crystal City no longer runs the White House. It obviously still run Congress. Wake us people. The Neo Con/Neo libs want war.
Trump wants peace........so does Pence. Don’t listen to the sheeple in Congress.
Put them in Ukraine?

To late.
Russia secured Turkey as an economic and strategic ally under President Obama. One of Obama’s great achievements.
Time for NATO to show Turkey the door. Think about it. Erdogan has threatened Europe with an invasion of refugees, as late as last week.If Erdogan enjoys Russian milk so much, let him starve on it.

Quietly moved out just before the attempted coup on Erdogan.
“Send Crenshaw to Idlib where he can make a last stand with his Al Qaeda friends. Animal Assad will be taking them out shortly.”
“Animal Assad” and his Russian allies are just what we need in Syria now. There are about 10,000 ISIS subhumans and their families in the Kurds” custody. Turn them over to Assad and the Russians for appropriate “hospitality” and the problem will be obviated with little or no trouble from “human rights” groups.
I am so happy that everyone is seeing through what goes on in the swamp. It's just about my piece of the action.
WHAT IS THIS GUY CRENSHAW...EIGHT YEARS OLD.
Thank God, our President has some FORESIGHT.
You must be able to assume the future and act accordingly.
President Trump has a unique and incredible ability to do that.
Advise Crenshaw to get a metal umbrella to keep the baddies from attacking him.
Only 57%??
You're right... hadn't thought of it in those terms but yep Trump's done it...
However, we must always take into account that much of what our federal government does---and probably most military actions and deployments--do not adhere to the ordinary progression of problem definition, propose a fix, implementation that roughly defines progress in industrial and commercial enterprises.
The very heavy weight of bureaucracy, combined with powerful interests of both national and foreign origins, tends to stretch out any timetable that might be hoped for, whether it's building a space shuttle replacement or adding lanes to an interstate highway.
Congress critters like to believe they caused (all by themselves, naturally) something really special to get done, and make sure the voters know about it in time fo the next election.
Astute voters know different, though. They realize that legions of lobbyists, scads of bureaucrats and the ever-present hordes of reporters--foreign and domestic--make it their duty to convince susceptible members of Congress that XYZ is either the best or worst idea of the 21st Century.
Constituents? Who cares unless they contribute to my campaign?
By the time Congress finally acts and appropriations have been approved, the crisis could be over and forgotten
How long did it take to deregulate the airlines? Most free-market columnists and economists recognized the need decades in advance of when it was finally done (under Jimmah Carter's presidency IIRC; probably the only positive achievement in his four years occupying the WH) but those creaky wheels of change turn ever so slowly in Washington, D.C.
President Reagan finished the task when he--without consulting Congress--fired all the striking air traffic controllers.. What a man!
It must drive the aforementioned bureaucrats, lobbyists and hangers-on crazy that President Donald J. Trump would do something (even as small as withdrawing some GIs from a makeshift outpost 7000 miles from home) so rash and unexpected without first getting their permission.
Gads! A potential despot! He defied our traditional way of doing business!
I am hopeful that we'll be seeing many more such executive actions in the next five years.
