Are we sure they weren't 'misquoted'?

to have killed thousands of Amerindians owning the Americas are not enough they continue to destroy the world venezuela and bolivia are the following they must leave Syria

Leave the US troops in Syria.

Let them kill each other, it is not our problem

That's kind of a duh moment. Does that mean we should keep troops there forever? No. Just like dems say technology can secure the border, technology can kick ISIS ass.

Uh oh y’all...! If we dont vote for endless war terrorists might get us! 🤪☠️

LOL please do leave, stop destabilizing the region (and the rest of the world), build a big wall, the largest wall and stay within it! Thanks

So what? Syria is not a threat to the US. We have heavy assets in the area and we have willing allies. WITHDRAW FROM SYRIA!

CNN is a

That is not possible Trump and Pence both said ISIS has been defeated 100%.

So stay there in perpetuity?

War pigs want constant fear and war

Berry said they were JV.

Thanks trump !!

It really is time for these guys to sort it out themselves.

Looks like you need to send Acosta and cooper to protect us then. You seem to be obsessed with keeping my brothers and sisters over there.

oh yeah let’s stay there another 20yrs According to your reporting this morning isis has been reduced to 1.5 miles in Syria, bring our battle buddy’s back

I thought Trump said ISIS was defeated? Guess he's lying....for a change 🤡

drones

Fake news

So then it's a never ending war where we have no way of winning. That means pull out now & any company that has profited off war should give any profits to families that lost people in the military serving. If you don't penalize the war machine financially it will keep happening

Very hard to stop an ideology like ISIS. It’s not as simple as you kill enough of them and then they will succumb and sign a peace treaty or something. It isn’t that kind of war.

This is a load of BS! It is not the responsibility of the USA

ISIS :)

What about Syria’s neighbors? Make them work

You have zero sources

Syria needs to pay for US protection.

ISiS isn't going away; they will resurge. Bring our troops home. This is a religious war. We have done our part.

War Hawk liberals?

Nice work Mr Deal-Maker

Well then it should b up to those countries to defend themselves isn't it? I mean what has Syria done for the us lately? Let isis have it then blow it off the map. Lol

As I said, ISIS will never b fully eradicated as trump seems to think

Wow.... get this... CNN is becoming hawkish. Of course, we all know it’s only because Trump is calling for pulling out the troops. If he were adding more, they would be screaming about that.

The Kurds will get their own land and then we'll see about ISIL.

You need legos to explain this to the genius general 😆we know who he is

I’ve never seen the left so pro-war in modern times. 15 years ago Bush was the most evil war monger. If Trump wants the left to support anything he does, all he has to do is say he’s against it.

Pentagons been living way too large got a whole lot of money and don't know what to do with it. Syria is now a Russian spear of influence. These so-called officials are dunces.

In other words you can never leave.

Guess they should go back to school
