Maybe if they help with the terrorists at the southern border he would consider it BuildTheWall

The problem with that is trying to kill an ideology. It will not happen. A change in strategy is required. We have tried hate and violence. Let’s try reteaching with clerics who preach non-violence and acceptance of other religions.

Not withdraw troops until terrorism destroyed? Hell,we'll be there till doomsday then,because terrorism is based on hate,and hate is very prevalent in this world,it consumes us. And what is the basis of this hate?...Ignorance.

He’s going to do what I damn well please no begging is going to help

more war, more blood spilling

How dare he try to take money from the pockets of the military industrial complex, they gotta eat too!

He finally grows a pair.

Mitch is wearing his Confederate red.

total bullshit, 17 years in Afghanistan its time to declare victory and come home.

knowing full well Trump won't sign it.

IT IS TIME FOR AFGHANISTAN AND SYRIA TO PAY & FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLES WITH THEIR OWN MONEY, WEAPONS, AND BLOOD! OUR MEN AND WOMEN NEED TO COME HOME TO DEFEND OUR BORDERS NOW!

It will never happen. We would have troops there for a thousand years.

Imagine my surprise to find all these pro-war leftists in these comments...

So let me get this straight.. The terrorist can't leave until there no terrorists there? Way to go you really outmatched yourselves this time.

What do you know, the turtle is trying to beat the orangutang...

So... pretty much Congress waiting taxpayer time and money to send the President a fancy letter.

What about the terrorist groups, supporters, and backers in the Senate and their foreign influences and alliances? do something about them? My child will not die for Trump and USA while serving the USA!

Duh. Obama and the CIA created ISIS.

Wasting money on a 1400 year old war. It will never end.fact. Why do the dems want troops to stay, something sus is going on there.

What you white people will never understand, for every man woman and child killed by US action in the Arab world, 10 members of their inner circle will become a so called terrorist.

US created terror groups causing terror. Who knew

All for show, he can still withdraw them, as he should

Donald is going to be, as we say here in Maine, 'some pissed'.

Really bringing them home to fight antifa and medical student Klansman.

You guys do realize that your current president never had any political experience before he took office! Proceed with caution!

The Tirdle comes through

Terrorist groups will never be destroyed. you can't stop an ideology. As soon as you kill all those existing terrorists others will assume the rolls and step up. It's never ending. We are the invaders there. both unwanted and never needed.

Democrats want more war, huh?

So, never?

A Senate bill to “urge” an impulsive president and a bill to stop an impulsive president from withdrawing troops before the work is done are two different matters. The Senate still has no spine or willingness to serve the country. Thank you, GOP.

18 yrs in Afghanistan - US has 10 active bases in the Middle East and some weapon platforms 300 yrs more advanced than any of adversaries they’ll come across. It’s a stretch at best that US needs a presence on the ground their to crush ISIS when they attempt to pop-off.

So that mean forever! Keep the war machine going! Bombs create job! Soldiers keep unemployment low.

So they want us there forever then.

Completely destroyed? That's an unrealistic expectation.

Bring our people home

Wow the senate grew a pair. Lots hope it lasts

Which will be never. Of course it isn’t the Senator’s kids patrolling Afghanistan. And obviously none of TheResistance doofuses will be over there so they don’t give a shit either.

Reason rather than politics should always be the goal. Elected leaders should be servants of the people rather than demi-gods dedicated to life long office.

America might as well make iraq, syria, and Afghanistan part of America and just start drilling for oil and eating fast food!

I hope he listens

Wait Trump stated that they had been destroyed ?

Both them countries together are like the size of Texas. How can the greatest military in the world spend 15 years fighting them? We either need better commanders or their is another reason we have been there all this time.

So we’re never going to leave?

A bill that urges?

That’s great, it’s an “I told you so bill”. They will use it later to say, it wasn’t our fault, we told you not to do it. Unfortunately it is their fault, the complicit GOP

OMG They Are STILL Out Of Control?! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Mitch respects the defense contractors in the senators' states .... and the lobbyist donations more than the will of The Don realDonaldTrump. Do you think anyone really cares about the people of Syria or Afghanistan? We haven't for years

Yet they can't approve funding for a wall/barrier to keep Illegals out of the U.S!!! SAD 🤦🏻‍♂️

Clad he’s not the commander. Endless war.

This is kid glove treatment and an empty gesture. The GOP needs to face facts. We're well beyond 'warnings' Impeach.

Hmm, but senatemajldr, I thought your homeboy said ISIS was defeated?

Now THAT’S unity! Too bad it won’t be recognized and praised as such during tonight’s SOTU address.

Next we should pass a bill to not let teenagers out of the house until they stop fucking. 🙄

It's a lose-lose. There will always be swells and pockets of extremists trying to undermine our sovereignty and western ideals. So they will stay indefinitely I suppose

Thought Trump destroyed them already?

So what makes anyone think 45 will moved by this 'urging' in a positive direction? And WTF? Typical republican quashing of free speech.

No one has been able accomplish that for about 2000 years or so. I guess Trump is the guy to get it done. But on the bright side Democrats and Republicans finally agree on something...more war!

But he said ISIS was destroyed, non existent and decimated, this bill shouldn't be necessary.

Their heads are on the block.

When is that going to be. Never.

Yet they can't get out government from not shutting down

The Senate has to take time out of their day to tell Trump not to make a decision so obvious most 11 year olds could figure out not to do on their own.

Some nerve. Those idiots can’t even balance a damned budget.

Wow Mr. MCCONNELL standing up against Th e president am I dreaming this has to be fake news senete Republicans rebuking Donald Trump’s wanting to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Syria that must go down in the history books if it has and merits at all

Literally everyone that follows you is high

But Trump knows more than his generals. I believe he's also smarter than Einstein and knows more about tech than anyone. How can the Senate, a majority of them, be wrong? WAKE UP, GROW UP AMERICA! we are indeed supposed to be better than this!

The Senate is doing its job. One step closer to Impeachment?realDonaldTrump

What? Did I hear you right? Our Senate is proposing that? I’m shocked, I tell you. Simply shocked!

there’s more proof of Bigfoot than there is of Ruth Ginsberg

Putin is going to be mad!!!!! He is going to tell Trump that there are too many people in their relationship! oneonone

**SEVENTEEN YEARS** is not enough? Will we leave when we go broke like the Soviets? And look just as stupid? **SEVENTEEN YEARS** let that sink in...

Bring the solders home now.

So, never.

When is Mitch going to resign?He reminds me of a puppet,lol!

When he stumbles ass backwards into doing the right thing the sane people are still here to promulgate wars.

Did Mitch support it or not? TroopWithdrawalSyria 😎🔥

About time you do something right!

Does that include CNN?

The Senate that Trump brags is still Republican

Hmmm... what do you think. Should the troops stay or go? 🇺🇸
