Senator Lindsey O. Graham (R-SC) visited Manbij, Syria on July 2, where he promised to urge President Trump....

If the link works and it was a complex one to type out, you will see Graham and hear Graham in his own words talk about continued US involvement in Syria and how will urge President Trump to do so.

The rest of the copy with story reads: "he promised to urge President Trump to maintain United States military presence in the country".

Grahamnesty continuing McNut’s mission?

[moovova]

Was Graham looking for a place to scatter McCain’s ashes (when the time arrives)?

[Obadiah]

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems Graham travels the world looking for ways to get us into war or keep us in a state of war. Why? Why is this guy, along with McCain, always advocating sending troops or sending hardware?

Sheesh.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Another good point! Puck McNuts and the Grahamnesty he rode in on!

[cgbg]

Why is this guy, along with McCain, always advocating sending troops or sending hardware?

Answer: Because he is as queer as a three dollar bill and big defense contractors have his files. They make money from war, the bigger the quagmire the better.

Looking for McCain’s ISIS boys so he can bring them home ?

Graham is assuming McCain’s role as Al Qaeda paymaster for the deep state.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Arming the jihadis Americans don’t want to arm.

[chris37]

Linda, no one cares about Syria, mkay.

[Nextrush]

And timed to be at a time when people aren’t paying attention before July 4th.

A ‘news dump’ event.

[deweyfrank]

Probably there to destroy the evidence.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Remember when we criticized Obama for wanting to pull out of Iraq? Remember when we were proven right with the rise of ISIS?

If we pull out of Northern Syria now, we will be deserting our allies, most importantly the Kurds who have been our only true allies in the region. We will abandon our northern allies to Assad, Russia and Turkey. These troops are not in active combat and no one is getting killed up there. Why not keep them there? You want to pull troops out of a foreign country? Pull them out of Germany, not needed there...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Another place to pull troops out, lets get rid of airbase in Incirlik Turkey. We don’t need an airbase in increasingly enemy held territory...

[ZULU]

Wit any luck he won’t come back.

Protecting McCain’s investments in terrorism.

[bert]

The need to be present to assist the leadership in the effort to maintain the Kurdish and Sunni presence along the Tigris valley is a worthwhile endeavor.

A new nation is being created from territory that was formerly Iraq and Syria.

True allies?

Kurds used to ally with Iran islamic republic, Palestine PLA......

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Kurds used to ally with Iran islamic republic, Palestine PLA.."

Do they now? They are allies with Israel. Here's an article with a picture of a Kurdish man flying an Israeli flag:

Israel also supports the movement for Kurdish independence. I'm not interested in what went on 20 - 30 years ago. I'm interested in what they are doing now, in 2018. In 2018, they were our most trusted allies in fighting ISIS and I don't want to see us abandon them now.

we criticised Obama’s Iraq pull out just because he had teamed up with Qatar to sponsor so-called Arab Spring destabilising the middle east.
