Speaking to reporters en route to the Middle East late Saturday night, the defense chief said the Pentagon had yet to work out exactly how it would conduct its campaign outside of Syria.
Are they doing a remake of Stranglove?
Lets send Congress to Afghanistan and bring our troops home.
Ohhh so we can recapture them again an set them free...Terrible choices on top.
Why...So Trump can set them free again...What,a,waste of money...Billions down the Trumpery..
So more dead kurds and another endless war, two negatives
special forces want to play and hone tactics with CIA
So much for bringing troops home from 'endless wars,' in other words another fake promise from realDonaldTrump
THIS SOUNDS LIKE “MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL”
realDonaldTrump strategy to end endless wars: move troops in Syria to Iraq - giving Iran, Turkey and Russia influence -then send 2K more troops to Saudi Arabia? His incompetence will endanger our security and damage our reputation for decades. JoeBiden PeteButtigieg votevets
Thought Presidunce said they were coming home. So, we just shifted them and caused turmoil and chaos doing it
Odd, thought realDonaldTrump was bringing them home and ending the endless wars?
We pulled out so fast we had to bomb our own bases to destroy ordinance left behind....Love how our tax dollars are just thrown away
The troops need to stay in Syria
I understand the importance of having the troops there however; they (countries/people) need to take charge of themselves and not depend on the United States to hold your hand. The American troops must come home. ♀️
Iraq is not home. Another lie?
ISIS isi Syria not Iraq. Trumps actions let them out of prison while he was saving the Syrian oil and abandoning the Kurd Allies to ethnic cleansing.
Don't you mean continue to protect the oil ?
President shitstain lies again!
Yep, really coming home
Who in his shame and disgrace said he was bringing our US troops homes, tired of ten year wars, yet sends 2,000 US soldiers to Saudi Arabia to help protect the country that supported the 9-11 attacks on the US and took an American journalist apart
Silly me. I thought Trump promised the troops would come home.
Yay, ‘coming home’
Add one more lie to the pile....
Is that in the US?!
`Never-ending wars continue to never end.` Hey Wall Street Journal, there was this guy named Epstein who was doing lots of shady stuff, I was wondering if you guys had any idea what`s up with the people that helped him. Thanks in advance for your fine, informative coverage.
Sooo then the troops aren’t coming home? Trump is pimping out our soldiers to the highest bidder a la Saudi.
When did Iraq become 'Home'?
So if the troops weren't going to be coming home, what exactly was the purpose of pulling them from Syria and exposing the Kurds? A personal favor to Turkey? Another illegal Quid Pro Quo?
“I’m bringing the troops home”
What? That can’t be true. The President said they were coming home?
So all of his blubbering about bringing our troops home b/c the Middle East isn’t our concern & it’s so far away & why risk the lives of our men and women. Ffs he’s so unbelievably comprised. 🤦♀️
Hey Donnie ...stick to picking colors and fabric swatches.. The hospitality president
Because Russia wants in.
US Troops are not going home, at 1,000 of them, are going to Iraq to fight ISIS or Islamic State?
I thought the Islamic State has been defeated ツ What happened?
This getting beyond absurd
That's our home away from home by now anyway
So bringing the troops home really means moving them to Iraq to continue fighting isis which was already defeated 🙄
I thought trump was 'bringing the troops home'. 🙄
I thought they were coming home? Or going to Saudi Arabia? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🙄
Out of harm's way. Great job, Mr. President!
Bringing troops home from Middle East is a pipe dream. As long as they have oil and can continue to build nuclear weapons, we will be there. The alternative is to let Russia take control like they now have in Syria. That is not an option.
So why is Trump saying we have the oil...we are protecting the oil...which is Syrian oil in the SE of Syria not Iraq?..does Israel want to keep it from Assad?
Just shifting it around.
What a joke
Very happy to hear that the U.S. troops will be stationed where they belong.
SpiroAgnewGhost So much for going home...NotMyPresident's putitive reason for withdrawal.
Well it’s great to see our boys coming home to, IRAQ? Mr President you told your base and the people at your rally you were bringing Syrian based troops home. We are going to get out of the Middle East. What sir, all part of your plan. You now have a plan!
So they are not coming home? No more ending endless wars? So this was about screwing the Kurds? Afraid of Turkey? Putin’s birthday? realDonaldTrump .RepStefanik .senatemajldr MoscowMitch
Except when trump is 'winning'. 🙄 How many of our Kurdish allies have died for this? Since 2014, ~ 11,000 Kurdish fighters have been killed in combat fighting ISIS. We just abandoned them?
ThanksGOP. How many more US bases will you hand over to Russia? How many more US assets will you bomb? How many more allies will you let die, while you set ISIS detainees free? senatemajldr marcorubio GOPLeader tedcruz LindseyGrahamSC RandPaul
I stand with Kurds
Sooo, still in harms way...
Getting the US out of Syria is a brilliant move. Thanks Trump!
News Today: 🇬🇧 Boris Johnson to ask EU for Brexit delay. 🇺🇸 Storm Nestor heading towards Georgia after causing damage in Florida. 🇹🇷 Turkish army to double-check that both Kurdish fighters & Syrian forces leave border areas. ↪️🔄❤️ for more... TakeItBack Astros
More lies from trump about ending endless wars & bringing troops home
Yes please kill terrorism and eliminate all terrorist activities there is no way their technology be better than ours and if there are other countries backing terrorist activities then publicly humiliate them. We shall have no tolerance to terrorism and we shall kill the genome.
So, can we finally admit that this withdrawal of troops had NOTHING to do with protecting and preserving our troops and it was really just the president pretending to be a president so Putin would love him?
It's British trained US defense secretary who ordered withdrawal of US Armed forces from Syria....not US Commander in Chief... Donald Trump!!
So no net new troops coming home then.
He said they were coming home !
'America Retreats'.. There, fixed the headline for you.
I thought they were supposed to be coming home? Pretty sure that's what realDonaldTrump said.
Is this what Trump came up with? Abandon our allies, the Kurds, and go somewhere else to fight ISIS without allies. Turkey and Putin win because we're isolated and there won't be anyone in the area that trust the U.S..
🤦🏼♂️
I thought they were coming home?
unhinged foreign policy, leave Syria, allow the Kurds to be destroyed, see thousands of ISIS fighters go free, and go catch them again FakePresident
But realDonaldTrump said isis has been defeated. How can this be? PABOTUS has spoken. It must be true.
So “bringing them home” was a lie?
So they aren’t coming home...one more lie
Thought President Donald 'Jagaloon' Trump said they were coming home.
And that moment when you remember we are still at war in four nations because of the last two Presidents. Thanks Bush and Obama.
I thought we were bringing them home
So we save nothing,our troops are not coming home, we destroyed a perfectly good facility we had. do we have to build a new one at the new post?
😂😂 Great so that ISIS can crush Kurds in Syria and you are gonna watch them from Iraq.
until Putin tells him otherwise
I was told by the commander and chief that they were coming home.
Trump is REALLY the most ignorant President the US has ever had.
