But Mitch says we can afford to stay in Middle Eastern wars forever. In fact, we HAVE to stay in those wars, and keep spending tax dollars forever.
Our staying benefits Mitch’s masters, the Saudi royal family.
It’s the right move.
Give the Kurds a CAP .
Air cover
Publically state that “Our Kurdish allies
will retain the power and ability to call in
airstrikes, in their own defense “
“There’s enough money for far-away wars. There isn’t enough money Americans’ needs here at home” — Mitch McConnell.
Rebuilding Syria = big money!
All the donors want us to stay until the end, and pass out contracts to them.
DJT has declared war on both political parties which is a winning position with we Deplorables
Mitch, just stick to what you do best, confirm some more judges. We don’t expect you to be a policy leader too.
So, hush!
Right decision. Leave those pe9ople over there alone to kill each other in peace.
This is one decision that was undeniably correct.
WTH is this fetish with Syria and the cesspool of the Mideast? It used to be anti-war “Bush’s wars” and “no blood for oil” etc and then Obama and the left suddenly love war and foreign meddling regime change. President Trump campaigns on GTFO of these wars (and is doing it) and both worthless political parties wet themselves over it.
I ignore all Trump news that includes the word "Russia". I ignore most CNN "news", so this had two strikes without bothering to read the article.
McDonnell refuses to provide a wall for protecting the US from terrorists here.
They said we need to fight them over there so that we wont end up fighting them here, and then let millions into the US legally and illegally.
Yeah lets stay in Syria and Afghanistan forever cause why not
We should have been supporting Assad from the beginning.
Assad protected Christians
Since Assad has been weakened Christians have been targeted for violence, forced conversion and murder.
Go back to work Turtle.
Leave the tough work to the man in charge.
Donald Trump is proceeding to ditch several of these little “brushfire” military engagements, and kind of shorten up the perimeter a little. The Turks and the Kurds have been at gunpoint with each other since, well, the time of the height of the Ottoman Empire, at least, if not for much longer. The Turks have attempted genocide several times, against those who were not “their” people, and trying to keep these two sides separated is a fool’s errand. Step out from between them, and withhold any support to the Turks, who under Erdogan, are proving to be some very unsteady allies. The Kurds have been very adept at defending themselves, and we can still provide moral and logistic support, in the guise of controlling ISIS resurgence, though probably a goodly part of that assistance will be turned upon the Turks.
The US should be preparing to withdraw altogether from TURKEY, and regrouping in a less hostile setting. Saudi Arabia, maybe, or Egypt, if the accommodations can be worked out with those countries, or possibly Greece, which has its own issues with Erdogan and Turkey.
And boot Turkey out of NATO.
Most important question: Why is Mitch making these statements?
He could make a recommendation to the president, then the president decides and Mitch should shut up.
Cocaine Mitch.
Very bold decision. He’s the only one with the courage to go against the political grain. The people support him
