    Correction: It was Bush who negotiated the withdrawal.

    It really sucks to only ever read one side of the story spoon fed to you so that you think exactly what they want you to think.

    And that excuses us abandoning those who fought with us for a decade & lost over 10,000 of their own fighting with Americans? Not in my book.

    So, I take it you support abandoning our combat allies to genocide by Turkey just to extricate ourselves from the turbulent Middle East. I disagree. With friends like Trump, who needs enemies?

    Trump has bombed them twice in responds 2017 and 2018....the last time in Nov they used something a little different Chlorine....Trump then issued sanctions against Russia for providing them with the fuel.

    So his bombing did nothing to stop the use of chemical weapons.

    It did...and so did the sanctions...and we will bomb again if they use them again. It's called defending the red line.

    Desperate attempt at diversion fails.

    Republicans had high apple pie in the sky hopes for the Arab Spring as well:

    2012 Republican Party Platform:

    "We recognize the historic nature of the events of the last two years–the Arab Spring–
    that have unleashed democratic movements leading to the overthrow of dictators
    who have been menaces to global security for decades."​

    well, no he attacked in a different way. He went after the source of the fuel directly...Russia....who's only there because Obama invited Putin in.

    Please keep up

    "While separating children from their family may be the most cruel thing Trump has done, this is by far the most stupid."

    ***Dolly Gee ruling...... (Que excuses how it's actually different)

    "pulling out of the Paris Accord, of the Iran deal...."

    See 30 plus weeks of rioting in Paris and the Iranians conveniently quick re start of their nuclear program

    "But turning on our allies is one that.... I don't know how we will ever recover from our loss of credibility."

    Private Bonespurs' precipitous betrayal of democratic allies in Syria may have so many conservative Republicans so upset because there are so few US casualties there, as tragic as each is, than, say, in Afghanistan from which fake Don has falsely claimed he would pull out repeatedly:

    So do you consider yourself a neo-con? Want us to be the world police? Or should we be looking for ways to extract ourselves from other's messes with as little bloodshed as possible?

    "Oh, yeah!
    Well, what about ...?"
    The desperate need for diversion is understandable.

    The conservative Republican politicians who are outraged by Fake Don betraying democratic allies as if they were trophy wives are seeking no such escape.
