Trump’s foreign policy appears to have been hijacked in Syria. He said many times before, and again last week, that our only mission in Syria is to defeat ISIS and then we will leave.
Today, General Votel told the House defense committee we’re staying in Syria for a long time. I didn’t vote for General Votel and don’t want him or other Pentagon/CIA types making these decisions.
And THAT is why Flynn had to go and be replaced by neocon hacks like Mattis and McMaster.
