Newsweek: Syria Says It Will Drive U.S. From Country If Troops Do Not Leave Voluntarily
Syria's foreign minister on Monday vowed to drive U.S. troops out of his country if they do not leave voluntarily.
Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad called the presence of Turkish and U.S. troops in northern Syria illegal and a flagrant violation of international law.
Hundreds of U.S. troops are stationed in eastern Syria and working with Kurdish-led fighters to combat the Islamic State militant group.
Turkish forces are present in northern Syria, where Turkey has supported and funded Syrian opposition fighters against Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
Mekdad called for the troops to withdraw voluntarily from Syria, threatening to push them out if they did not go.

The Syrian government is recognized by the UN.
The Syrian government wants the US out.
So why isn't the US out?
Syria has been a member of the UN since 1945. It is still recognized by the UN, if not by all members.
International recognition of the Syrian National Council
If you have to make a case for war, should not you have to make a case for prolonged military actions?
I have not seen the Derp State do this. Jim Jeffry defied a president. So why has not that rat bastard made a case for force? He is now famous, so he has a bully pulpit. He also has the backing of the fawning media. I bet Nina Burleigh would make Jim very happy,
if he would go on record and make a case for our Syrian involvement.
I think we have very good reasons for being there, but most if not all of them have to be stated. The antiwar crowd can get violent and we do not need that on the streets so often ravaged by Democrat riots. I would rather convince them rather than the Democrat strategy of dividing people and then building coalitions to put Democrat leaders and their families in power.
Was it the Democrats that invaded the capitol and tried to prevent the election results? and hyes: 600+ arrested so far and more to come
your bias makes a total ass of you
The FBI has yet to charge anyone with insurrection.
Oh wait, they dropped all those charges.'
The FBI had at least 2 informants in that crowd. The FBI knew everything.
1:54 you remind me of pigs in a packing plant. All the same color. All the same size. All going through the process at the same time. All rendered at the same time. And now we have Obamacare and you will be programmed to die at 75 years of age give or take 3 months due to old age and benign government neglect.
There is literally no difference between 1:54 and a farm animal.
Apparently it was the Democrats working for the FBI.
