Let's start from the beginning of the exchange:
(cutting them out = bring them home)
You can say it without what is in the brackets, and technically it means the same thing. It can also mean something entirely different without the context.
I should have worded better, but it is not technically incorrect from a grammatical standpoint.
I said Trump will bring them home and declare victory against ISIS, zippy responds with what Bush did when he proclaimed victory against the war on terror, and responded that it doesn't matter why we bring the troops home as long as that is what happens, and we can see that Trump is pushing for that heavily. I never saw Bush push for troop reductions.

Trump expected to send 4,000 extra troops to Afghanistan
Decision contradicts Mr Trump's earlier criticisms of war effort
Donald Trump has agreed to send as many as 4,000 additional US troops to Afghanistan to tackle a steadily deteriorating security situation in the beleaguered country, according to senior officials quoted in American media.
The report comes ahead of a pre-planned speech by the President on Monday evening to spell out his policy for Afghanistan. Mr Trump and his advisors had signaled for days that a decision on the president's Afghanistan strategy was forthcoming.
In agreeing to boost troop levels in Afghanistan, Mr Trump has cemented America's continuing involvement in a conflict that has now stretched across three presidential administrations and nearly two decades.
C'mon.. you're better than that.
The WaPo article was written with the narrative that Trump is unhinged and fighting with his cabinet. That is the fake news narrative.
The real story is what infowars wrote, using the actual quotes that they reported on which can be verified, in which Trump is pushing to pull out the troops and his cabinet is doing everything including using ridiculous scare tactics to keep the troops in place and expand the wars.
The fake news media reports quotes out of context, use sources who make things up, etc.. But these can all be verified, I guarantee you will not see Trump coming out saying he didn't make these statements in the meeting or anything like that.

Maybe someone should inform Rand that it is the generals that are actually in control of the government corporation on a day-to-day basis and Trump isn't. That whole 'gold-fringed military flag standing behind Trump every time he speaks' dealie. Hell, maybe someone should tell Trump that.

"Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul
"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
I guess is that Trump has been briefed on his own assassination plans if we decides to pull out of the Middle East.
