THE ONLY ONES UPSET ABOUT OUR LEAVING SYRIA ARE THE ONES THAT PUT US INTO THE MIDDLE EAST TO BEGIN WITH AND NOW WE HAVE BEEN IN A '18' YR LONG WAR...MOMENT POTUS SAID BRING OUR BOYS HOME THE LEFT AND MSNBC UPSET...MEANS THEY WANT OUR BOYS KILLED FOR NOTHING.

Wasn't it the Republicans who used to insist that America doesn't cut and run? So much for that fairy tale.

This mindless moronic, buffoon, Trump has caused this desaster but is should have been expected. The blame for this desaster and the deaths of our allies is on the hands of the fool that voted for Trump!

Really?Trump can’t spin the fact that he made a big error with his telephone call with Erdogan by allowing him to enter Syrian.Trump made this decision on his own-he has no idea what he is doing & he gave Putin, Erdogan & Assad a big win +releasing ISIS. What does his base think?

realDonaldTrump multiple hotels turkey will be ok, right? Cause that’s all he cares about. gop is complicit

Hhmmm. A wider swath of bloodshed. Putin’s happy. Assad’s happy. That means Donald’s happy. I wonder how long it will be before our non-Nazi allies trust us again. The stench from this parasite is overwhelming.

Trump is causing a threat towards the US by back stabbing our allies.

Could we please send Trump and every member of his cabinet to face the assault instead of the Kurds.

Thank the goddess that realDonaldTrump POTUS is getting us out of the ObamaClintonQuagmire! KAG

I think you left out the “...issued the order after missing his double-bogey put on the par 5 12th at Trump National.” part of the story.

First, just last night Trump and Pompeo bragged that they got Erdogan to agree to this mission and troop drawdown. { the War Crimes } Now Trump and Pompeo: 'Turkey blindsided us! We have nothing to do with the Kurds or the assassination! Or Erdogan! Or Putin! Or MBS!' 😐 🇺🇲

This feels like Viet Nam all over again.

Putin's game, Putin's rules. Crazy to watch this all unfold.

Syria will move on turkey and the escaped isis fighters.

It's over for the US in Syria. Trump has 'directed that we begin a deliberate withdrawal of forces', Esper says. US supply lines were cut, another base was abandoned and hundreds of Islamic State detainees escaped.ISIS terrorists freed by the fighting and now free to attack US.

myself1234567 This would not be happening if Trump had not pulled the plug on the Free Syrian Army in Idlib. Now they are getting revenge and a paycheck from Turkey. Its US mercenary vs US mercenary.

SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats SenateDems senatemajldr HouseGOP SenateGOP Sooo....y’all are just gonna watch & let this happen, huh?!? You’re telling me there is NOTHING you can do? I mean, obviously, the POTUS has made some kind of deal with the Turkish President...WTF?!?

Trumps quid pro quo with Russia fulfilled. POTUS

Turning and running from a catastrophe HE alone created. He makes our troops look like cowards.

Turkish agency says key highway reached in Syria offensiveTurkey's official news agency says Turkey-backed Syrian opposition forces have reached a strategic highway in northeastern Syria as Turkey's offensive against Syrian Kurdish fighters enters its fourth day. THANQ GOD FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP! If you told the average person on the street in America that their tax dollars are funding a neo-Marxist Terorist group with links to a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, which has killed NATO soldiers and even killed U.S. citizens, they would be appalled by this. Next station: Usa 😂😂😂😂

Turkish artillery fire comes close to US forces in SyriaTurkish artillery hit close to a US special operations unit near Kobani, Syria, a US official familiar with the initial assessment says. There are no US injuries in the early reports and no indication it was deliberate, the official says. Fake news. There is coordination between US and TR despite poor relations to ensure such accidents are avoided. Anyway just take your troops back 10000miles so they can be with their fsmilies instead of propping up pkk/sdf terrorists on Turkey's border. Simple. Although we betrayed by America but we still protect our land and fight those jihadi Turkish terrorists till we die
