We need to get them out. I don’t see any purpose our troops now deployed in Iraq and Syria serve other than being tripwires.

The call of the left: Cut and Run.
Howz about folks making them run, and others catch & cut?
Asking for unknown friends.

Yes get our troops out of Iraq and Syria or we’re liable to have a repeat of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings or similar.

US “evacuates forward operating bases in Syria” as Iranian-backed attacks grow, prompting cheers from the Iran’s Mad Mullahs. Mission accomplished!

When one US base in Syria was threatened, Trump greased 300+ Wagner mercenaries.

The "Biden" regime keeps running away, so the Iranians will keep attacking. After all, why not? They don't suffer any penalty for attacking us.

Earlier attacks actually killed some Americans. The regime's response was to send more cash to Iran.

And whether putting US forces in there was good idea or bad idea is irrelevant: you can't bugger out with appearing to bugger out.

Trump wanted to get them out, but Congress and DOD were dead set against it. We should have left a long time ago.

Yes. No business there, but our Neocon policymakers put our guys in a ultimately indefensible position in hopes of achieving another regime change, which is shorthand for totally disrespecting another country’s sovereignty. Another great Neocon win. But they’re not through wrecking everything yet....

Not my circus. Not my monkeys.

Deploy the troops on the Rio Grande. Let the Middle Easterners straighten out their own stuff.

How many millions of munitions and hardware did they fly in there before abandoning it?

Syria has already attempted attacks here earlier this year before the Hamas war.
