There are many good comments on this post. But for me the bottom line is that we have no business having troops in Syria. None at all.

Years ago I attended an exhibition given by a Japanese karate master. He went over many defensive moves. Then he said the best defensive move of all is “not to be there”.

I wouldn’t say that’s true 100% of the time. But it’s true most of the time.

Mr. Miyagi said the same thing in "The Karate Kid".

We had bureaucrats lie to our face about the numbers of troops in Syria, and to the President, and nobody cared. Congress failed to hold them accountable, nor has Trump admonished them. Who knows what really takes place in Syria.
