No Rand THE promise was the wall. Get a clue.
There is a difference between ending and giving up. A difference between finishing the job and abandoning allies. A difference between victory and creating a power vacuum that will be filled by some bad people (i.e. Iran and a Putin emboldened Syria which will both threaten Israel)
Bad move. Though not surprise the isolationist Paul doesn’t think so.
It’s probable that the departure of our troops from Syria, and then from Afghanistan, will result in chaos. But if there is no way to prevent that chaos except by maintaining a presence there interminably (read forever), let the chaos begin.
There’s a lotta good in Rand Paul....keep that in min, Dick; Remember!

Well..one reason.
Senile Senator Ron Paul.
For months, everyone has been screaming....Why are we in Syria? And arming rebels...who steel all the USA arms that they can. Rebels are not the good guys either. There’s only bad and badder in Syria.
Cut and run?
Bravo to Rand Paul for speaking up.
I know more about Afghanistan than most Americans because I was born and raised only a few hours drive from there.
Afghanistan is a desolate mountainous country infested with tribes who are living with 7th century religious dogma. They are NOT ready for democracy. Stop sending brave young Americans to die there at the hands of religious terrorists.
Why are Republicans so stupid?
I would argue that our chances for war are greater in the long term if we stay in Syria. We’ve had run-ins with Russia there that could have escalated into open conflict. Who wants to go to war over some mud huts in Syria? Same goes for Afghanistan. There is nothing in that part of the world worth my son’s life, or the life of any other American.
It isn’t isolationist to return to our bases in Europe or other overseas stations, and we should make it clear to our allies we aren’t packing up for good, but our days of regime toppling and nation building needs to end. When the Russians and Chinese encroach where we’ve let go, they will soon get tied down just like we were. Let the Chinese build one of their empty cities in Afghanistan. They can have it. Maybe they’ll actually destroy the poppy fields.
I support DJT in getting us out of Obama’s war.
Thank you, Mr. President!
We don’t need to spend any more of our people’s blood and treasure in the middle east or Afghanistan or various other 3rd world crapholes or in Europe. Let others solve their own problems. Bring the boys home and secure our borders. Oh and of course, drill baby drill!
Another resignation today. Trump has FUBARED this big time. So much for “listening to his generals”. What an ass he’s being.
“Promise To End The War In Syria Is Why Trump Won The Election”
I don’t remember him making a big deal about Syria. I wish Trump had though. I would have voted for him twice.
