Let's face it, we, the American people, do not have a "dog" in the fight between Assad regime and ISIS inspired "rebels."
So why are we still in Syria with no US national interest there.....
Let's have a look at who wants us to stay....
Dianne Feinstein
"I call on President Trump to develop a comprehensive strategy to end Syria’s civil war. Congress can then consider an AUMF if additional force is to be used. I fully support a robust U.S. role in ending the Syrian civil war as soon as possible." ie we stay there forever
Peter King
"fully supports" staying in Syria
Lindsey Graham
Trump will "look weak" if the US leaves
John McCain
Trump's talk of leaving "emboldened" Assad - we must stay
Bob Corker
Corker says withdrawing from Syria now would be 'major disaster'
Why are we still in Syria with no US reason to be there????????
The power of THIS LOBBY
Easy answer, Trump does. If he did not we would be out.
THe moment TRUmp was elected, well before he took office, the propaganda campaign to push for more aggressive foreign policy stared, in order to undermine that point of his platform.
It has been successful.
A political victory for the Establishment, at the cost of the Nation.
Trump is the CIC, he calls the shots. He sent more people to Afghanistan and is keeping us in Syria.
And if he pulled out, you would be part of the howling mob, attacking him for that.
Oh fuck no I would not. I was cheering when he suggested he was going to pull out of Syria, till he flip/flopped again.
I have friends that just left Afghanistan and nothing is any better than it was 10 years ago when I got out of the Corps.
