It seems to me that this gives the Russians 120 hours to move in.

So, the long time Syrian ally the Russians get to go in and tell the Turks to get out. Russians tend to not play the game the same way that US and our Allies do.

Pence is his major whisper.

I don't know why folks here are so down on Pence all the time. I have watched him debate. He is good, quick, tough and to the point. Trump kind of bludgeons you to death. Pence, it's just straight to the heart.

Trump never moved any troops out of Syria, he just moved them away from the border.

Trump is also sending thousands of troops to Saudi. WE lose.

Looks like Trump trumps again.

“Hey Ergo, Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool.”

Talking like a Queens guy gets things done.

So much for the tried and ineffective diplomatic nice guy BS.

Diplomacy is for sissies. Trump is the MAN!

“ Republicans in Congress REALLY tired of winning? Because I’m not!”

Congress today has one function only: to make its members and staff powerful and wealthy. They have no other interest and pursue no other goals. They don’t ever care about winning...unless it is themselves personally winning something of value to them personally.

Because secretly, some here on FR don't believe being a good upstanding Christian man is a good thing. They have been caught up in the vulgar culture that exists today. He's too much of a boy scout for some.

This was in the works before they left DC, another victory for Pres. Trump. But showing they are dumb as rocks, 136 Republican congressmen voted with Nancy Pelosi in opposition to the President’s actions in Syria. Every one of these turncoats should be defeated next year, preferably primaried by good Conservatives who will support, not fight against, the President.

It is a cease fire to allow the YPG forces to withdraw from the 20 mile zone, sounds like Turkey will have secured this strip of Syrian territory without any further fighting.

President Trump should get the Nobel Prize for facilitating this peaceful resolution to the dispute without having the Syrians launch any further attacks in Kentucky. :-P

You’re probably right. If Mike did publicly take main credit, I’m sure he would be quickly corrected by The Boss with an angry Tweet.

Pence's problem is that he's a long-time GOP establishment politician -- which is the type of Republican leader who has pretty much worn out his welcome here on Free Republic.

I'm fine with him as the V.P. In fact, he may be a perfect counterpart to a character like Donald Trump!

correction: There were 129 back-stabbing Republicans voting to support Pelosi rather than President Trump.
