Liz Cheney blasts Trump: "Withdrawing US forces from Northern Syria is a catastrophic mistake..."
Liz Cheney Twitter ^ | Oct 7 2019 | Liz Cheney

Withdrawing US forces from Northern Syria is a catastrophic mistake that puts our gains against ISIS at risk and threatens US security.

This decision ignores lesson of 9/11. Terrorists thousands of miles away can and will use their safe-havens to launch attacks against America.

Liz Cheney doesn’t have to go into the maelstrom, nor do any of her kids. It is always someone else’s kids that are sent.

Ain't that the truth!

Oh great. She wants us to sacrifice more of our blood, treasure and rights.

The globalists are frustrated that wars are not as popular as they used to be.

That means that instead of national armies lining up against each other, the globalists are going to get around to using unconventional weapons against the civilian population.

Each side is exaggerating this to the extreme, accusing the other side of seeking either a “catastrophic withdrawal” or another “endless war”. There’s going to be a catastrophic war among Republicans.

No dumbass, the havens would be meaningless if we did not give them visas to come into the country. Secure the border. Support Trumps travel ban from terror regions. That’s the lesson you moron neocon daddy-coattail riding carpetbagger.

We have been helping the Kurds in Syria for 6 years. With our help, they have gained military and political control of a significant and contiguous portion of the country and have mostly made peace with Assad. Sure, they helped us fight ISIS - ON THEIR SOIL. WE gave them control of almost all of Syria east of the Euphrates. THEY were the CLEAR benefactors of OUR support. How long do they expect us to stay? Decades? If Assad is willing to cede land to Turkey without a fight, are we now supposed to defend Syrian soil?

The Kurds should have realized when Trump began talking about quickly defeating ISIS and pulling our troops out of Syria, that their negotiating position was near it’s zenith. It was time to make deals and alliances. Having failed to act, they again look to us. Finally, we are saying ‘NO’.

Syria can't fix their 'caliphate problem' on their own, nor can the Kurds or Turkey. It's time for them to get together and work this out among themselves. This is their land, their people, their blood and treasure. If this is a "come to Jesus" moment for the Kurds, and they realize that they can't keep poking Turkey in the eye, then fine. We are not there to guarantee the Kurds their "Rojava", but to kill ISIS, and that job is done.

.... I believe the President actually meant to say that the ISIS ... CALIPHATE has been destroyed 100% .... BUT .... Unfortunately I think the President made a BIG mistake by mentioning ..... Again .... That ISIS is ..... 100% defeated .....

..... Which then becomes a Challenge to ISIS .... Which also means there will be, In the near future, A rather large attack or attacks on soft targets that are American controlled areas and facilities to prove to the world that they .... Do ... In Fact Still Exist.

As usual, Trump does the right thing. We are not going to fight a ground war against Turkey. Especially with only 50 troops. The economic hammer is the smart thing to do by far.

Going into Syria was never a good strategic choice IMO. There was really nothing to gain and only brave soldiers to lose.
