Congressman Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is pushing his colleagues in the House for a vote on whether the U.S. should keep forces in Syria after reports that four U.S. service members were wounded in Syria last week, long after Biden said there were no U.S. troops in that country.
"Since the invasion of Ukraine, we seem to have turned our attention away from some of America's entanglement in Syria," Gaetz told Fox News Digital. "And the purpose of my legislation is to force members of Congress to vote on record regarding whether they think we ought to continue Obama's war in Syria. President Obama kicked off our involvement … and now we still find ourselves in the middle of a Syrian civil war with Russia and Turkey and Iran, all present in a very confined neighborhood.
Gaetz said he's worried President Biden does not have a cognitive grasp on the Syrian conflict, citing an August 2021 interview with ABC News on U.S. involvement in the Syria conflict in which Biden stated, "We don't have military in Syria to make sure that we’re going to be protected."

Of course, Deep State Joe lied. That is all he does!
Hmm… Let me think. Didn’t Trump try to withdraw US troops from Syria in 2019?
Why, yes he did!
The US military lied and stonewalled. The entire chain of command from that time needs to die in Leavenworth or perhaps Gitmo.
Thank you Matt. Keep fighting.
“Gaetz said he’s worried President Biden does not have a cognitive grasp on the Syrian conflict...”
Congressman Gaetz, there’s no reason to worry about it; he doesn’t have a cognitive grasp on much of anything, and he never has. It’s not getting better over time.
Hell, I’ve known troops ARE there since forever. Where the hell has Matt been?!
“The US military lied and stonewalled.”
That’s what happens when you won’t use your Executive authority to fire people who lie to and stonewall you.
Of course, Deep State Joe lied. That is all he does!

Trump ordered all troops out of Syria during his administration. He was told that US troops were removed which was a lie. The military commanders lied to the CINC.
Reference my tag line...
They claim it’s about ISIS let the Russians and Iranians and Syrians fight them.
When our troops operate at bases with names like “Conoco” on them the real reason becomes more clear for the US presence.
Why are we in Syria now? The Civil War is over—Russia’s side won. Assad, like him or not, won the day. It like England sending aid to the Confederacy after Lee Surrenders. Its all over. Pull out before we are forced out. Besides, don’t we need those men in Ukraine?
ISIS was Zarqawi’s group. Zarqawi had a sweet deal with Iran because his smuggling trail ran right through Iran to the Iraqi border.
America needs to get out and let the locals take care of their own business.
The two leaders of 911 hijacker Mohammed Atta the Egyptian’s cell in Hamburg Germany were a Syrian businessman and a Syrian intelligence officer.
The country that paid Captain Yee the Syrian-trained US Army chaplain at Gitmo to smuggle detainee related files and documents out of Cuba to Damascus was Syria.

(But the reason Obama had us in Syria wasn’t to go after our enemies so much as it was to tie Israel’s hands and protect Iran, IMHO.)
Syria has natural gas fields, Conoco. US furnishes the military protecting them on behalf of former US military and US government investors. A big deal to those Deep State investors/bribe-takers. Military Industrial Complex.
