Politico: Congress-appointed panel rips Trump's Syria strategy
A new report from an outside panel appointed by Congress contradicts the narrative President Donald Trump has been promoting about Syria, raising questions about his strategy in a country that proved equally confounding for his predecessor.
Iran is entrenched in Syria for the foreseeable future, Russia has made huge political gains by backing the Syrian regime and Islamic State fighters detained in the Arab country pose a growing threat, the panel found. As recently as Friday, Trump boasted that he'd "defeated" the Islamic State, days after the terrorist group released a recording purportedly of its fugitive leader exhorting its fighters to pursue their violent cause.

ReplyDeleteI should start keeping links.
Yesterday I read the Russians are cutting Iran's proxies out of the Syrian scenario. And not obama style, Russian style. I was surprised to read this.

ReplyDeletewhat is Russian style as opposed to Obama style?
why were you surprised?
where had you read this? MSM as fake news or Pravda as real news?
So there are these puds & putzes, who told us in the run-up to the 2016 election, that if Trump were elected he would get us into a war. It has been nearly three (3) years and no war. They made a prediction and it did not come true. Trump has done the opposite. He is trying to get us out of wars and he is being bitterly resisted.
ReplyDeleteSo here is a twist on "Trump will get us into a war". It seems as though the presstitutes will go way out out on a limb to lie.

Personally, I think we should help the Kurds, the Yazidis and the Christians in Syria. We owe Assad a beating. Where Trump is getting France and Britain to take over for us protects those groups and keeps Trump's election promises. We also owe Assad for his transgressions against us.
While I believe we need to be in Syria there are many bonuses for getting out. To rest, recuperate and get ready for a possible P2P confrontation.
