Chad, you know some of his hires were mandated by the GOP Old Guard of McConnell and Ryan, just to get anything accomplished....

Spoken like a true anti-Semite...
So be our guest and side along the other Israel haters in the EU/NATO and most Democrats, such as Bernie, Chuckie, Nancy -- the faces and heart of the Democrat Party.
Let the Jew haters in the EU/NATO fight Iran and Russia, all loud supporters of Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal. In the good ol' USA the Democrats and war mongering GOP supported the truly dangerous Iran Nuclear Deal at the same time Obama was regularly cutting funding for our military. Your kinda guy; your kinda thinking.
Israel can take care of themselves and Trump will be there for them if things really get out of hand, unlike the rest of the slobs you proudly prefer to hang with.

Trump’s decision on Syria is worrying allies in Iraq and Emboldening Opponents
Quote:
|
“There is deep worry among Iraqi military officers, who see the Pentagon as stable but the White House as unpredictable,” said a Western diplomat based in Baghdad whose country is involved in the U.S.-led coalition opposing the Islamic State. The diplomat spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations with Iraqi officials.

If ISIS reforms, and grows to say 30,000 troop, we can reengage and blow the hell out of them.
Has it occurred to anyone that the whole Mattis quiting due to our withdraw from Syria is a rouge. That he was planning to retire anyway and the whole controversy was created to embolden ISIS, coax them into massing their forces, then blowing the hell out of them once they do?

8th Dimensional Chess!
Nah... the Iranians will just expand their influence and take care of it.
Yuge win for them! This withdrawal!
Under your plan we'd presumably be doing it with Americans because Erdogan has already killed all ther Kurds.

An article in the WSJ, "The Cost of Betraying Syria's Kurds", by a former Marine who served over there.

Betrayal is a US tradition.
JFK-Bay of Pigs, Bush - Iran Protesters, 0bama - Arab Spring.
We are the LAST people I would ever trust.

I am with you on this one, but think sometime in 2019 ET will cross a red line again when someone gets inside his head and sideways becomes his pattern.

Exactly, they swarm like insects and can be set on fire easy enough.

Allen West gives the straight talk on Syria:
Quote:
Having been a 22-year career Army officer who has deployed into combat, there is only one thing we ask of civilian leadership: give us the mission and let us see it to the end. I can also attest that having spent some time in Kurdistan, the Kurdish people are, in my estimation, our best allies in the Middle East after Israel. The Kurds have put it all on the line for the United States more than once. And, more than once, have we abandoned and betrayed them. There would have been no success against ISIS if not for the Kurds . . . certainly not the Iraqi Army. There can be no doubt that Turkey’s president Erdogan is not an ally to the United States. Matter of fact, we all know that he possesses Islamist tendencies and has supported Islamic jihadist groups.
If anything, the decision, coming after the call from Erdogan, will look like a capitulation.
