    What's your plan, have the US attack a member of NATO?

    There are 1,000 American troops in Syria.

    The Kurds are through guarding the ISIS prisoners.

    If it was back, Russia would not be there, nor would they allow Turkey to invade.

    Syria doesn't want commie terrorists running around either.

    The PKK moved into Syria-now they are being removed.

    Yes, Syria was a wreck from 2006 on with drought, inflation, unemployment and the collapse of Agriculture and their Oil sector. In early 20111 when Assad arrested the schoolboys and killed some of them protests erupted all over the country. Neither Iran nor Russia did anything to help Syria.. .. Now Syria is destroyed. 6-7 million have fled the country and Assad want money to rebuild Syria.

    NO.. NPR says there are 1,000. Trump probably doesn't know. He's busy tweeting.

    Doubt it. This could easily turn the few Republicans in the Senate left with integrity against him. And, aside from the moral issue of betraying an ally, if this leads to a renewal and resurgence of ISIS, it is also a Realpolitik failure.

    They are fighting asymmetrically.

    That is to say they aren't sitting in towns waiting to be shelled.

    The arab/islamic world is brutal, even if it offends you.

    Its not going to happen. Trump will win re election and people appreciate him winning wars and pulling out instead of starting them like Obama.

    He's 100% correct.

    That area of the world has been in constant conflict since 600 AD.

    FYI, Trump just created a power vacuum in the area.

    Sounds like you and your Democrat buddies should put together a demand to go to war with NATO.
