RLLD 3,455 Posted January 11, 2019 Baghdad -- The U.S. military has begun the process of withdrawing troops from Syria, a U.S. defense official confirmed to CBS News on Friday, saying it was expected to take between 90 and 120 days. The official told CBS News senior national security correspondent David Martin that equipment had begun moving out earlier this week. America's operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the country were to continue during the withdrawal process. Col. Sean Ryan, spokesman for the coalition fighting ISIS, confirmed earlier in the day to The Associated Press that "the process of our deliberate withdrawal from Syria" was underway. "Out of concern for operational security, we will not discuss specific timelines, locations or troops movements," he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-syria-withdrawal-ordered-donald-trump-underway-turkey-threatens-ypg-kurds/ I am torn on this. On the one hand I think not eradicating ISIS to the fullest possible extent is probably a mistake that requires us to spend more money and lives to deal with later......but then again, ISIS is a direct result of Syria releasing all of its worst prisoners into Iraq to fock with the US mission, so if the radicals want to kill Syrians, I am good with that....and hopefully they kill Assad.... Now, if these radical retards keep having people leave that Sh!thole country then you get some really dastardly people migrating to other nations, lowering their quality of life down to the sh!tty Muslim level, and maybe even polluting the US more....

MDC 5,877 Posted January 11, 2019 I am 100% on board with leaving. We were never asked to be there or wanted in the first place, our presence there is a net negative, and all the arguments for staying will be the same 6 months, 12 months, 3 years etc. from now.

I can see the merit in that stance. Our elevated presence in that section of the world has been rather expensive, and the benefits are difficult to quantify right now.

NorthernVike 2,079 Posted January 11, 2019 It's bullshit. Throwing the PKK (Kurds) under the bus so Turkey can kill them. The PKK helped us take out ISIS and helped in Iraq and now we're focking them over. Rinse and repeat. I think Turkey should be thrown out of NATO their leader is nothing more than 2019's version of Saddam Hussein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel for the Kurds, and would understand helping them while they created their own nation. But other than them, the rebel groups range from ISIS to not much better than al-Assad. It's a giant clusterfock that was a mistake to get involved with in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what effeminate, ineffectual cucks do. They get rightfully called out for spewing BS and try and flip it on the one who points it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 5, 2019 Well let's see, 1) Trump bashes Obama for announcing ahead of time when we're pulling out of a certain conflict. Even though he's too stupid to understand that the sofa was revealed to the world even before George Bush left office. Then Trump announces to God and everybody they were pulling 100% of our troops out within two months. Huh? That's not 'telegraphing'? Then, just five days ago, Trump surprises the hell out of everyone including his own Pentagon when he announces that we have defeated 100% of Isis in 100% of their held territory. Well good, then we won't need troops there. What? Now Trump flip-flopping and he was leaving troops there. Even though Isis is 100% defeated according to him. Yeah, and as far as the small residual Force bulshit goes? Yeah, we've tried that time and time again around the world. Look fuk head, if you're going to backtrack, backtrack. But don't leave troops out there as some sort of bait to solve your political flip-flopping. If yer going to leave troops leave enough to protect them , support them provide Logistics Etc. Don't split them up, don't half ass it. And when things inevitably go to ? And Trump inevitably blames his generals? Remember that he spent most of his campaign talking about how he's smarter than all his generals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
