    Oh? You believe only the Saudis would be capable of carrying out terrorist acts?

    There were no state actors in 9-11.. and six of them are citizenship unknown.. OBL hated the Saudis because they revoked his citizenship in 1994 and declared AQ a terrorist group.. He want to kill two birds with one stone. Hurt the US and turn the world against Saudi and Muslims.

    No. Any country can carry out terrorist acts. What is the particular interest in Syria for the US?

    What about displaced refugees? I don't care about displaced refugees.

    I want to know what tangible benefit it is to the US to justify meddling in Syria. How does it make my life better?

    We don't even fight in northern Syria. Why are you so keen to keep our troops in danger in an area that has had this going on long before we got there?

    Did you care about the Jewish refugees who fled there or the Palestinian refugees who changed the demographics of Lebanon overnight?

    I think we have to consider refugees even the refugees on our own border. What can be done for them and to preserve the hosts way of life?

    No. Let them sort out their own troubles. US meddling doesn't seem to help.

    The question is what refugees can do for us! Our nation should prioritize the well-being of citizens over aliens. Refugees are just increasing strife.

    The only way to preserve the host's way of life is to not let them in. They are not guests, they are invaders regardless of how we may view their circumstances. Introduce a large body of a different culture and the country being invaded will never be the same.

    Of course they are.. Refugees are the problem. Bashar Assad caused the problem... Everybody pays except Bashar.. American soldiers, Turkish soldiers, Syrians pay.. The Europeans, Turks and Lebanese pay.

    Turkish President Erdogan confirms military operation in northern Syria has begun
    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/09/tur...ry-operation-in-northern-syria-has-begun.html

    The abrupt foreign policy move was met with immediate bipartisan criticism. Lawmakers of both major political parties accused the Trump administration of abandoning the Kurdish forces in the area who helped the U.S. fight ISIS forces. Among the most scathing comments came from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Trump’s closest allies in Congress who has nevertheless been one of his loudest critics on withdrawal in Syria. “Pray for our Kurdish allies who have been shamelessly abandoned by the Trump Administration. This move ensures the reemergence of ISIS,” Graham tweeted.

    This is proof positive reason why the US shouldn't be involved in any of this crap in the Middle East. No matter what you do, they go right back to tearing each other apart like junkyard dogs the second you turn your back.

    Get out, stay out, and ...

    It apparently isn't even making the lives of the Syrian people better.

    "The abrupt foreign policy move was met with immediate bipartisan criticism. Lawmakers of both major political parties accused the Trump administration of abandoning the Kurdish forces in the area who helped the U.S. fight ISIS forces."

    Why would any ally in the world trust a word the US says in the future now that Trump has set the precedent we are willing to abandon them at the request of an authoritarian leader?

    And you have completely avoided the fact that Obama was Arming and Supporting Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria - as has the MSM.

    The regular parade of Establishment clown pundits claims that "we need to stay to defeat ISIS" go unchallenged

    Trump will probably be gone in three months due to impeachment and removal from office, but sadly it will not be soon enough to save the lives of the Kurds, whom he betrayed.
