Trump agrees to keep U.S. troops in Syria for undetermined period of time to defeat ISIS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump reluctantly agreed in a meeting with his national security team on Tuesday to keep U.S. troops in Syria for an undetermined period of time with the goal of defeating ISIS, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
"He wasn’t thrilled about it, to say the least," the official said.
Defense Secretary James Mattis and other top officials made the case to Trump that the fight against ISIS was almost finished but a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces at this time would risk losing gains the U.S. has made in the fight, the official said.
Mattis told the president the Pentagon was already reducing the number of U.S. forces and would continue to do so, though he did not give the president a set time frame for the end of the U.S. mission in Syria, the official said. The official said Trump "wasn’t thrilled about that either," but agreed to give the effort more time.
"The president made his displeasure clear about any kind of long-term presence in Syria," the official said, adding that Trump said he wants other countries in the region to help fund the country's reconstruction.
In a statement Wednesday, the White House said the U.S. mission in Syria was "coming to a rapid end."
"The military mission to eradicate ISIS in Syria is coming to a rapid end, with ISIS being almost completely destroyed. The United States and our partners remain committed to eliminating the small ISIS presence in Syria that our forces have not already eradicated," Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. "We will continue to consult with our allies and friends regarding future plans. We expect countries in the region and beyond, plus the United Nations, to work toward peace and ensure that ISIS never re-emerges."
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said earlier Wednesday morning that he and the rest of Trump's national security team had engaged in "significant" discussions with the White House Tuesday about the future of the U.S. mission in Syria.
The U.S. has around 2,000 forces on the
Or not. Whatevs.
As long as the Trumptards get a headline to write Donald's fan fiction stories, the truth doesn't matter much.
It's too bad he's not like a Commander In Chief or something.

The White House said Wednesday that the U.S. military mission in Syria was coming to "a rapid end" but offered no firm timeline for a withdrawal, even as President Donald Trump has insisted it's time for American troops to return home.
With allies anxious about a hasty U.S. withdrawal, the Trump administration said it would stay in war-torn Syria to finish off the job of defeating the Islamic State group and was committed to eliminating the militants' "small" presence that "our forces have not already eradicated."
But White House press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested that would not be a long-term endeavor, and she described the extremist group that once controlled vast swaths of Syria and Iraq as "almost completely destroyed."
There were clear signs the United States was narrowing its mission in Syria, still in the throes of a long-running civil war, and would focus only on defeating IS and not on the broader task of stabilizing the country and ensuring that the extremists cannot re-emerge.
"We will continue to consult with our allies and friends regarding future plans," Sanders said in a brief written statement. "We expect countries in the region and beyond, plus the United Nations, to work toward peace and ensure" that IS never comes back.
Trump and his national security team are having a contentious debate about the future U.S. role in Syria, where an American-led coalition has been fighting IS since 2014. Roughly 2,000 U.S. troops are currently in Syria.
The president met with top aides Tuesday before telling reporters that he wanted to "get out" and "bring our troops back home." CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who has been nominated to be secretary of state, and other advisers strongly advised Trump against too quick a withdrawal, according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal talks.

If only he were something important, like a Commander In Chief, then maybe he'd have some sway.

Did you read it?
The neocons are trying to convince him to keep our troops there and he is wanting to bring them home ASAP - he is allowing them a little more time to finish off ISIS.
Hillary wanted to go after Assad, that is who you supported.
Trump is not going to let this turn into a boondoggle on his dime.
Seems like one choice is a trillion times better than the other to me..

NE SYRIA
Despite US-backed forces having virtually total control over northeastern Syria,
the Syrian Army does nonetheless maintain a number of key military installations and positions (including an airfield)
inside and around the cities of Hasakah and Qamishli.
Over 1,000 new Syrian Army troops to be deployed at Hasakah, Qamishli enclaves
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article...laves-details/
The reinforcements, numbering 1,500 men all up (the size of a Soviet-era army regiment),
are people native to the Hasakah and Qamishli regions who very recently reconciled with the Syrian government
and entered military service as a result.

Don't worry guys. Trump is going to get us out of Syria very soon. He just miscalculated his strategy and had to change his plans. It may take another year or two or maybe even into his second term, but I assure you he'll get us out of Syria.

Echoing others, the rebels we've funded for the better part of a decade will no doubt remain on the payroll, with or without an official presence.
And then there's that.
That is the deep state, the same people who are trying to get rid of Trump. You are on their side.

Also aren't these neocons trying to convince him to stay in Syria the same ones that he hired? Bolton,Haspal, Haley, Pompeo, etc? Maybe you shouldn't hire people that think the contrary.

Yeah but they seemed so smart when Trump saw them on the teevee....
And they said nice things about him too, which means they have good taste and are terrific and wonderful.
Trump: ‘Just Kidding. We’re Staying In Syria.’
