i actually think trump had a mandate to withdraw from syria, and look forward to an isolationist defense minister.

isis were bad guys and needed to die. but, this is otherwise really long overdue.

and, i'm again left asking the democrats: are you really going to oppose a troop withdrawal, just because trump proposed it? really? after everything that happened since 2003?

are we really that easily manipulated?
