We’re there to safeguard the oil from ISIS reconquest. The Syrian government has shown many times they don’t have the forces or logistics to hold the oil refineries. Too much tribal and factional power play for the oil revenue. If you leave it there the most brutal and ruthless faction will take it, IOW ISIS.

Safeguard them from ISIS? I though ISIS was wiped out?
As for the Syrian government not having the forces to do it, that’s a cynical claim to make when you attack them for attacking Sunni wahabbist rebels.

You blow up their forces, and then say you got no forces to protect the oil so we gotta stay? That’s straight up mafia.
The truth is that we are doing what the Saudis ordered, and when our Generals enjoy.

That’s CYA. The real reason we are there is to keep a toe hold in Syria for future operations. Trump wants out but is being vetoed by the Deep State.

That’s funny. How many US forces are there? Do you really believe this ridiculous explanation?
What would be your actions if the government is seizing your property and bank account ‘because you are too stupid and weak’ to secure it and it might benefit the criminals?
