McConnell introduces Syria resolution urging Trump to end troop pullout

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he will introduce his own resolution urging President Donald Trump to end the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria.

McConnell added that he was “encouraged” by media reports that the Trump administration is considering keeping a military presence Syria to maintain pressure on ISIS. Trump’s move to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria earlier this month incited rare GOP revolt against his administration. McConnell penned an op-ed in the Washington Post Friday calling the decision a “grave mistake” – though he did not mention Trump by name -- while Sen. Lindsey Graham has introduced new sanctions on Turkey with Sen. Chris Van Hollen .

You too slow turtle man. The boy done sold us out!!

Missing from this picture is Cory Gardner, Colorado Republican Senator ... who couldn’t give a real answer about Trump’s Impeachment, earlier this month. His juggling, went viral on social media networks. VOTE Gardner out! Enough of his Republican BS! GwR, Colorado

The left on this thread are now war enthusiasts. Hurray for war!

Finally someone with strength to lead us. Hopefully the others will follow and grow a spine.

Might be too late.

To late, Mitch. And, how about stopping our troops from going to SA and Iraq? What the hell's that? RemoveTraitor45

senatemajldr you need to realize that trump is not going to listen to you, he’s not going to sign your resolution, he’s in the for himself, enriching himself and his family and screw everyone else, you know what you must do to save America

Now that the 'ceasefire' is over and most troops gones, Kurds abandoned and US influence diminished.

Oh cool. Congress finally using its war powers. Almost like the constitution says.

McConnell you are not dead! You are not being held against your will? You growing a pair,?

Hey Mitch senatemajldr, did you see the videos on the news with the Kurdish people throwing potatoes at our armored vehicles? Our troops have already left. They went to Iraq and the Iraqis have already said they can't stay there. You're a couple moves behind.

So ... Mitch is going to do work? And it's not appointing rightwing ideologues to the judiciary or greenlighting sweetheart deals in Kentucky for Russian oligarchs? Woah.

Only after the damage has been done. How decisive! Kentucky can do a lot better than this guy. AmyMcGrathKY

The Kurd line was established by Obama without Senate approval It was set up to keep the Turks out of Raqqa

There's good old Joni Ernst standing behind McConnell...dreaming of simpler times, cutting pig testicles back in Iowa.
