U.S. Troop withdrawal from Syria
Leaving the mess for the U.N. and NATO and the new European Union Forces.
Finally out!

How they hate a Christian in Damascus! - And pretty much all over Turkeydom as well.
And how they will pay for it when Russia turns her guns upon them again! It is soothing to the heart to abuse England and France for interposing to save the Ottoman Empire from destruction they so richly deserved for a thousand years.It hurts my vanity to see these pagans refuse to eat of food that has been cooked for us; or to eat from a dish we have eaten from; or to drink from a goatskin which we have polluted with our Christian lips, except by filtering the water through a rag which they put over the mouth of it or through a sponge!
I never disliked a Chinaman as I do these degraded Turks and Arabs, and when Russia is ready to war with them, I hope England and France will not find it good breeding nor good judgement to interfere.
- Mark Twain

@LindseyGraham
Just spoke to Sen@CrisVanHollen about situation in Syria.
We will introduce bipartisan sanctions against Turkey if they invade Syria and will call for their expulsion from NATO if they attack Kurdish forces who assisted the U.S. in the destruction of the ISIS Caliphate.
Just a tad more powerful than "knock it off".

President Trump Tweet
"As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, If Turkey does anything that I, in my great wisdom, consider to be off limits
I will totally destroy and obliterate the economy of Turkey (I've done before!)
They must, with Europe and others, watch over the captured ISIS
fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone
could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory.
THE USA IS GREAT!"

Seriously, Trumpists, does anyone outside of "The Wizard of Oz" actually come across like this? Must be another Trump joke - wish he'd use an asterisk or something to let us know.

ABC evening news suggested by reporters that we actually need more troops sent there. Can you just imagine how they would have played the story if he had sent more.
ISIS is operating everywhere now. Much of the terrorism seen now isn't even connected to ISIS. Social media has corrupted an invisible core of losers willing to do the same with less exposure.
As long as there are media giants that truly hate Trump's guts, he'll do nothing right and be the root of all evil in the world. They must lose a lot of sleep at night grinding their teeth. Such hate will reek havoc on people's lives.

Betraying the Kurds will likely cause them to forge an alliance with Assad, not a good thing. Terror groups will eventually be "nurtured back" to full strength and the JV Squad, Part Deux will be back.
Not to mention, what US allies will ever trust us again?
When we are standing in line for a bottle of aspirin in two years, hoping they do not run out, we can look back at this week as the beginning of the end.
When you abandon your friends, you have hit the bottom.
There are ways to withdraw and there are ways to abandon.
Trump got it dead wrong.
But WE will pick up the check, for it all.
