LMAO. U.S. troops operating in Syria without any legal or moral authority don't have to be "protected" from anyone.

They need to be removed from that country ... like RIGHT NOW.

I’ve had the same thought. I am not clear who the enemy is in Syria. Actually, reverse that. It would seem that every other player involved in Syria is the enemy. Are we siding with one or another? I understand the war time strategy where sometimes the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” for the time being (think Russia during WWII and Iraq during the Iraq/Iran War). But in the case of Syria, the participants that work for the players are changing teams constantly and I don’t know what our objective is.

So, agreed, what are we doing there? Who are we protecting and why? Obama destabilized the region. We no longer have a peace keeping option to maintain stability.

So you are all for letting ISIS expand and grow?

I’m not sure I read of the anti-Assad forces in that portion of Syria battling ISIS. That area of Syria is now separated from the remaining ISIS controlled parts of Syria by Assad’s government forces. Are these anti-Assad forces affiliated with Islamists such as Al Queda like all the others (except for the Kurdish groups and their allies, of course) that the US has supported? If these non-Kurdish groups are not fighting ISIS, why the hell are we with them?
