When presidents normally “wag the dog” they start a war. Trump is unique in all sorts of ways, including that he may now be wagging the dog by ending U.S. involvement in a war that remains far from finished. My latest: t.co/0gdlRq5x7S

The president has now dismissed or undermined US intelligence assessments on:
– Russian interference in the election
-Saudi Crown Prince direction of Khashoggi murder
– North Korea’s continued missile and nuclear activity
– ISIS’s continued presence in Syria— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) December 19, 2018
Important thread 👇🏻 – why it is an absolute disaster on the Trump administrations part to pull our troops out of Syria. Lack of understanding, awareness of history and ISIS IS NOT DEFEATED! Make no mistake Trump is apparently as much of an isolationist as Rand Paul… t.co/JuTwjTg25W

U.S. withdrawing troops from Syria would not only embolden ISIS, but signal a victory for Assad, Russia and Iran. Make no mistake, this would be catastrophic. SAC statement: t.co/JxMI25HB8b

Trump gave Putin a big Christmas present this year: Syria.

Refugees International: Trump's decision to pull troops out of Syria is "baffling and deeply disturbing…An abrupt withdrawal of American troops will create a power vacuum that will likely lead to a new round of conflict."

I am happy to see a President who can declare victory and bring our troops out of a war. It’s been a long time since that has happened. t.co/fEBb8080fK

ABSOLUTE LOL:
How about the Syrian American Council come up with some Syrian-Americans to go die for Syria if that far-away shithole is so important to them. t.co/gyySoK7jCd
