Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) ripped the administration over the recently announced cease-fire in Syria, calling President Trump's decision to withdraw troops "a bloodstain in the annals of American history."
"The announcement today is being portrayed as a victory. It is far from a victory. Serious questions remain about how the decision was reached precipitously to withdraw from Syria and why that decision was reached," Romney said.
Romney's Senate floor speech came after Vice President Pence announced a five-day cease-fire.
Under the agreement Pence said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan agreed to halt Turkey’s offensive in Syria for 120 hours in order to allow Kurdish YPG forces to evacuate. The agreement will also maintain a “permanent cease-fire” once the evacuation is complete.
Romney added the administration needs to explain what the U.S. role will be moving forward. And the cease-fire, he argued, does not change that the United States "abandoned" the Kurds.
"Adding insult to dishonor, the administration speaks cavalierly, even flippantly, even as our ally has suffered death and casualty," Romney said. "We once abandoned a red line. Now we abandon an ally."

“I am so ashamed that I voted for Romney to be POTUS.”
You’re probably sleeping better not having voted for his opponent.
Wish I could have seen some regret from Ann Coulter back when I still read her column.
I think I have a virus. Every time Romney speaks I instantly stop caring about what he says.
Mittens did also slam Obozo for his premature evacuation out of Iraq, to be patently fair:
How many times have you voted against Trump you coward. Most dangerous President in history bit somehow you always agree with him. Jealousy is not becoming
Sh!t Romney. That’s the best I could think of at the moment. Sorry.
I guess Romney should introduce a motion to declare war. He can do it jointly with Shumer.
Same with Nancy Pelosi.
This is Congress’s job.
If they feel a war is necessary, declare one.
Had he won, Romney would have done for the GOP at the national level what Schwarzenegger did for them at the state level in California. Kill it dead with everyone assuming all his terrible failed liberal RINO policies were conservative.
I don’t regret not opposing Obama in the most realistic way possible, but I’m glad that Romney is on the outside looking in.
That cuck should just switch parties now, as he’s certainly not a Republican. I voted for this prick in 2012, only because the alternative was unacceptable. If the jag-off ever runs again, I will vote for an old sock, or a new blister.
Yeah, I’m very happy I voted Constitutional Party.
Other than his mormon buddies and his globalist friends, who cares what this carpetbagging, duplicitous LIB loser says about anything.
Damn I hate this guy.
Is the Mormon Mafia leaking details to Mitt?
Is the Mormon Mafia leaking details to Mitt?
I always assumed Prop 187 being illegally blocked was what killed California.
“Mountain Meadows Mitt.”
I doubt 99% of Americans would understand the reference.
The Mormon...follows orders.
The Deep State hates Trump and anything that threatens it so much they are willing to condemn a cease-fire? How pathetic!!
