The envoy’s resignation is not unexpected. In a briefing last week, Brett McGurk criticized the prospect of a U.S. military retreat from Syria

Funny how we always have to have troops on the ground to ensure a military operation goes right.

Good, one less government employee that apparently can’t do his job.

Good.

Who the heck is running the government amid the temper Tantrums? People, our President does not know how to do his job !!!!!!

As he should... He was never a Trump person. Little war monger.

I'd think DT would be a bit worried by now.

😤😭😢

Calling all Republican's, trump said he never heard of him. Doesn't know him. And you still want him to stay as our fake president?

We are not an occupying force. This is immoral and the envoy should know that. Trump is right about this. The UN is supposed to be the global peacekeeping force, not the USA.

The War Hawks are jumping ship as expected. Isis is everywhere anyway. Thank the UN Migration Compact for that. Move the UN to Africa. They are tearing the world apart & making it easier for Islamism to spread. China says Islam is a mental disorder-I agree. GOP

So again!

He made quite a little transaction with Iran too. Dont forget that on his glowing resume.

ISIS is defeated and we dont need to keep paying him anyway. Dont let the door hit you in a$$ on way out. Buh bye schumershutdown SchumerShutdown2 SchumerShutdownSequel SenSchumer realDonaldTrump BuildTheDamnWall BuildTheWall

Islamic is a terrorist we cannot keep supporting them and loosing our young men and women to a cause that has been going in for centuries, they need to handle this themselves, it’s time!

Trumps policy is simple - positioning his business interests now and for the future, nothing else matters period.

Get on board the train, or get off. There is a saying. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Is it the Military Complex just worried about keeping their jobs or is it about losing Proxy Wars that we are worried about ?

Trump tweeted that he has appointed a very good replacement for this envoy, Ahmet Burak Erdoğan.

Enough is enough with young men serving in the middle east. How much money has been spent in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, it's silly. We could have built 50 new airports, fixed every freeway, upgraded every train, revamped the national power grid and built two walls.

BYE! THERE ARE BETTER USES FOR OUR MILITARY!

What is actually almost as shameful that a experienced very important WH Staff Member controlling the ISIS efforts is not known by the Commander In Chief, Criminal Trump. Trump is not only Illegitimate he Is UNQAULIFIED. America is at huge risk everyday with Republicans. 2020.

We've been trying to do this for 17 years. Maybe what we're doing is not working. Seems like anytime we're close to defeating ISIS or whatever incarnation of it, the goal posts change and all of a sudden they're a threat again. WTF.

It's pretty simple when it comes to eradicating the democrats friends.

Competent people are bailing.

Good - Dump the swampers.

Bye bye. No big loss.
