When the Pentagon negates the presidents statements a day later, isis is the least of our problems.
The pentagon keeps over riding the CIC. I’m sick of it.
If we can’t protect the homeland why the hell are we protecting other countries? Screw them. No wall no war.
Congressional leaders including Pelosi need to push thru some emergency funding
Trump throws another bone to the media?? They bit.....and hard.
Remember we have few friends in the area. We also, have many enemies. We are in there at the request of people like Israel, the curds, and Saudi Arabia. But so called allies like Turkey and the EU are difficult to depend on. We should leave when we can.
Nobody on this sight should be advocating to stay in Syria. The public does not understand the issues. Its a game of spy vs. spy. While Fox may report that its ISIS (the bad guys) vs. America (the good guys). Thats far from the truth. There is no black and white, only shades of gray. Don’t let the military vendors get you thinking that this is good vs. evil. They only want to sell weapons. And frankly if the military could chose, fortify the border vs. Syria, I am on the side of troups defending our border.

We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.

Seems pretty clear to me. Now if he doesn’t do it they will be criticizing him for that.
I support my president in this. America First means exactly what it says. We need to fix America’s issues and quit trying to change the rest of the world. Let them blow themselves up. We have terrorists at our border—they are the threat America needs to be concerned with, as well as the domestic enemies within—as well as the ones holding political office.

....Russia, Iran, Syria & many others are not happy about the U.S. leaving, despite what the Fake News says, because now they will have to fight ISIS and others, who they hate, without us. I am building by far the most powerful military in the world. ISIS hits us they are doomed!

Everything Trump says publicly is for the consumption of our enemies.
Make of it what you will.
I want us out, and I’ve wanted that since the usurper sent us in there with no American interests at stake. If we coordinate with Assad and he’s okay with us killing more ISIS before we go, I’m okay with a few months of delay. If he wants us gone, I’d like to see us pull out as quickly as it can safely be done. Let Assad and Russia kill them all with us out of the way.
Note: I don’t like or trust Assad, but I consider him less of a danger to decent people than any of the alternatives in Syria.
The important thing is all the meddlesome State Dept. personnel have been given 24 hours to get out.
Military will follow a more orderly process.
Rubio, Kristol, and Levin are against it, all I need to know it’s the right thing to do.
ISIS is Islam. It will exist in some form as long as Islam exists. US trooos in Syria make a bad situation worse. Let the Muslims kill each other.
Syria is a Russian state. Obama saw to that. Trump is doing the right thing.
