    Trump: 'Just Kidding. We're Staying In Syria.'

    Trump: 'Just Kidding. We're Staying In Syria.'



    That didn't take long. No sooner did President Trump vow to remove US troops from Syria, when after a meeting with Defense Secretary Mattis and other advisors resulted in another flip-flop. Like with the recent omnibus budget, he complained but went along with it. Will he pull out in six months as he more recently promised? Don't hold your breath!

    Don't worry guys. Trump is going to keep his promise on this. Even if he ends up doing it in the last year of his second term.

    It's good to know the Commander in Chief really, really wants to pull out of Syria but the meanies under his command won't let him. A+ for good intentions. We just need to be patient, I'm sure Mr. Alpha Male will grow a pair eventually.

    US Isn’t Leaving Syria—But Media Lost It When Possibility Was Raised

    At a rally in Cleveland last week, President Donald Trump said that the US will get out of Syria “very soon.” It is now clear that the 4,000 US troops currently occupying Syria will in fact stay in Syria even though keeping troops in another country in defiance of that country’s government is a violation of international law. Yet the very possibility of US withdrawal from Syria rendered "journalists" apoplectic ...—international law be damned.

    I'll take two steps forward and one step back as long as he repeats it often enough to finish what he started.

    If Trump gets reelected he's going to go for MMT.

    There will always be troops heading out as part of troop rotation until they are all home, but we have cut the number of troops in Iraq in half since January and we are going to keep reducing that number until they are all gone.

    I've explained this troop rotation issue before but the TDS trolls like to twist the truth.
