"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

ISIS’s loss of its caliphate and its degradation from a quasi-nation-state back into a traditional federated terror organization.
Indeed, the Atlantic Council has previously used the term “territorial defeat” to describe the U.S. focus in Syria and said that such “defeat” would still leave an “insurgency” on the ground.

So you are not in agreement w/ his leaving troops there??
Getting them in there is easy, getting them out not so much......... Maybe Obama was right, it was a bad idea to go in there??
Oddly enough~or not, most of those supporting the pullout seem to be on the left, the further left..
I did appreciate the wht house coming out in support of the Kurds.. Not long ago it was looking like they were going to be abandoned..
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Bill; wake up. who are you talking to? Remember me and BAC and Libya and the scourge of interventionism?
More importantly is if we stay there we shift from a counter-terrorism role ( literally killing terrorists in battle) to a nation building role.
We're already so badly sucked into Afghanistan, I don't see a way out unless the regional players take over our security roles
As to the left and the right you got good guys like Rand Paul on the right along with Tulsi Gabbard on the left.
The rest are squishy Kurd supporters, or full bore neocons like Graham ( and many Dem Senators like Feinstein)
I hear you on the Kurds . they always get screwed. Erdogan is out for blood and we can't stop him either.
Russia and Iran put their stakes into Syria, so let them have it and maybe bleed out. Not really our concern
