The day that President Trump ordered the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, the Islamic State claimed that it had set off a bomb in Raqqa, the group’s former capital, killing a Kurdish fighter.
It was a small, isolated attack, but the Islamic State’s boast was a canny assertion of the stakes in the American withdrawal — and an indication that the group was looking forward to exploiting a changed reality in Syria.
The United States withdrawal announced Wednesday is seen by analysts as an abandonment of America’s key allies in Syria, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, and a boon for the Islamic State — which still controls territory in southeastern Syria, is believed to still have thousands of fighters there and has continued to carry out attacks.
The withdrawal is also expected to give a green light to Turkey to carry out its threatened invasion of northeastern Syria, a move likely to draw Kurdish forces from the fight against the Islamic State in the southeast.
U.S. Exit Seen as a Betrayal of the Kurds, and a Boon for ISIS
***************************************************************
Remember when "cut and run" was an epithet that Republicans used against Democrats in 2004. Now Trump is not only cutting and running but strengthening our enemies and weakening our allies.
Analysists say Trump's move may very well reinvigorate ISIS. If it does all these deaths would have been in vain.
Beyond that why is Trump playing the tin pot general. That is the true worry. Trump should be leading a battalion of toy soldiers not real ones.

What is so hard about grasping the concept that it is the way Trump is cutting and running and betraying our allies that is so hard to understand. Putin just tweeted that Trump is correct. You know he is thrilled about Trump's decision. Once again there is a right way and wrong way to do this. Trump threw our allies under the bus. The word of the USA is shit. Thanks, Trump.

yes they are relevant = fails
...there are not many modern examples of a foreign country changing /totally defeating another country
....the US had minimal effectiveness there
...history shows this to be true
the US used MASSIVE force in Vietnam and FAILED

The US Mission is less to defeat Assad then to see to the final eradication of ISIS, of which there are still approximately 20,000 members, give or take. It is also to provide some protection to the Kurds who have fought with us over the past decade. I want to see the troops come home. In the end the void the US may leave once we depart, not to mention damage to what the word of the USA means, will leave an area in even more chaos.

oooo - the pillar of honesty and unbiased bitching at trump again.
Trump is betraying every soldier, Marine, airman, and sailor who fought in Iraq and Syria. He is betraying every American fighting man or woman who was wounded or killed. He is betraying all Americans.
Donald Trump is now in the service of Iran, Syria, and Russia.
