Trump did not indulge his "inner Libertarian" with sending of more troops to Iraq

[enhanced_deficit]

Hawkish leadership on globalist interventions front, Iran needed to be taken care of for US interests also and not just because MAGA's top donor is member of our closest ally Israel's military that faces existential threats from Iran:

From Iraq to the Red Sea, Iran-Israel Battleground Now Spans Entire Mideast

As the eyes of many in the Middle East are focused on northern Syria, a special note should be given to what was said in Tehran. After a mysterious incident off the coast of Saudi Arabia, it took the Iranians time to reach a conclusion as to what happened there. But on Wednesday, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission in Tehran said that Israel and Saudi Arabia were involved in the attack on the Iranian oil tanker that came after a series of similar attacks by Iran on tankers making their way to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In other words, the Iranian account with Israel is still open – and sooner or later an attempt might be made to close it.


US, Israeli efforts put Iraq’s stability on the line ; 104 killed in Iraq unrest, 6000 wounded

Alleged IDF airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed paramilitaries have heightened divisions between the Shiite groups and Iraqi government
20 September 2019

BAGHDAD (AP) — As the United States and Israel escalate their push to contain Iranian influence in the Middle East, countries in Tehran’s orbit are feeling the heat.
Pro-Iranian militias across Lebanon, Syria and Iraq are being targeted, both with economic sanctions and precision airstrikes hitting their bases and infrastructure. This is putting the governments that host them in the crosshairs of an escalating confrontation and raising the prospect of open conflict.

Trump: Bannon's Libertarian more than anything else

[CCTelander]

I thought we were supposedly in the process of pulling OUT of Iraq? Peace at last!

[Swordsmyth]

Taking them out of an active war zone and avoiding a war with Turkey was absolutely an expression of his "inner libertarian", he can't just bring all the troops all the way home all at once or the Neocons will join the impeachment and he will be replaced by someone much worse.

More troops will come home and the remaining troops will leave Syria in a phased withdrawal.

He has already been attacked by Republicans for avoiding war with Iran and now Turkey, he has to show that he is "protecting our interests and our allies" while arranging to end the wars and bring the troops home.

Do we have any bases closer than Iraq? Seems like the logical first location to send the troops. It's not like all the personnel, equipment, vehicles, and weaponry can just catch a flight back to the states tomorrow.

Is this thread serious? Iraq is an 8 hour drive from Syria, less than 300 miles.

Objective of the deployment was clearly outlined by top official of commander in chief, looks like you missed that detail why they are being sent there:

There were controversial theories already in the air but those are just unproven thoeries.

We only have 131 C-5s, of that I have no idea how many are set up for passenger transport, or are even currently in service. A typical C-5 is set up to carry 73 passengers. I think we have over 2000 troops over there. So just for the soldiers, you are looking at 28 C-5s to carry that many troops. I'm guessing you might need 4 or 5 times as many planes for all the equipment and vehicles. I doubt we could physically do something like that in a week if we had to. It seems a lot smarter to me to drive 8 hours away to bases under US control, and start bringing everything home in an organized fashion, than unnecessarily create a logistics nightmare.

"ISIS wil return if we leave Syria" is being shouted by all the warmongers, so as part of the phased withdrawal Trump says that the troops will stop them from Iraq if that happens after we take them out of Syria, when it doesn't happen they will come home.

So Trump will be bringing the other half or so Troops back to the US? Better than staying in Syria. Even if all the troops were redeployed to Iraq that would be better than having them stay in Syria.

Blow the equipment in place (like we were taught).

Vacate...post haste..

The US created ISIS..

The Banks Fund them.. (To hire foreign Mercs)

Turkey provided transport and cover for them.

Turkey is NATO,,, and it's military propped up by the US...


What was your point again?

That the government creates a problem, and he's paid to stir up a reaction, so the government can create a solution that creates more problems.

That Trump is bringing the troops home and that one step to do that without being impeached is to prove they can be taken out of Syria without ISIS making a comeback.

What's yours? Are you trying to brainwash people into believing that a big, bad Alpha withdrawing troops is a high crime, or a misdemeanor?

That it is Propaganda Bull$hit and Nothing more..

The Agenda has not changed.. We are not leaving..

This is simply the Clown giving a Clown explanation for shuffling troops..

If they were coming home the planes would be landing.. It ain't happening..

wish it was ,, but not enough to believe a lie..

That's some nice Neocon MSM propaganda you are pushing.

These are dangerous talking points, might confuse America-First Alpha believers and may even reinforce media's FLAT narrative.

Don't drink and post.

I support the withdrawal, it's you TDS victims that are attacking it.

[Swordsmyth]

That makes even less sense than your usual posts.
Trump is doing exactly what he always said he would do, a phased withdrawal that ensures ISIS doesn't make a comeback.

You don't want it to be true, you'd rather watch the world burn and that's all you have to back up your assertions.
Trump is removing the troops from Syria and he will bring them home in a phased withdrawal just like he always said he would do it.

[acptulsa]

Don't drink and post.

I support the withdrawal, it's you TDS victims that are attacking it.

You're saying I don't support troop withdrawals? Seriously?

Care to post a link to prove you're not deliberately lying about my position in violation of forum rules? Don't you ever run out of straw to make straw men and call them me? Do you consider that behavior honorable?

Got proof this withdrawal is a withdrawal, not a transfer?

[pcosmar]

I support the withdrawal,

No you Don't.. You Parrot whatever your boyfriend says. even when it is Ludicrous.

You have done nothing else here.

Making it easy for a NATO invasion of Syria by another bad actor is not "withdrawal".

Moving into another unstable country we destabilized (and should have left entirely years ago) is not "withdrawal".

Standing By in a close location is NOT "Withdrawal"..

There are more troops going there..
the Agenda continues despite what spittle drools from the Clown in Chiefs mouth.

Except for confirmed news, rest of comments here by all are mostly subjective opinions. But your certitude about your predictions about claims made by a politician is quite impressive. Do you have some inside knowledge or just prize yourself as a great reader of politians' promises and trustworthiness?

But you don't have to answer above question if you can share with us when following 2019 globalist intervention surge will come back home?
Also, how many of the 5000 troops surged in Afghanistan in 2017 have returned home so far?
