It seems that the H of R doesn’t appreciate Mr. Trump doing what he thinks needs to be done with out getting their approval first, which – obviously – they’d never give. So they held a vote and wrote up a resolution four pages long to let him know that they are not amused.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/10\/16\/bipartisan-house-majority-condemns-trump-for-syria-pullout\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The gist of it is here:\u00a0 The four-page resolution, from House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and ranking member Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, calls on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to \u201cimmediately cease unilateral military action in Northeast Syria and to respect existing agreements relating to Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It also calls on the U.S. to continue supporting Syrian Kurdish communities through humanitarian support, including to those displaced or otherwise affected by ongoing violence in Syria and to work to ensure Turkish military acts with restraint and respects existing agreements relating to Syria. – article<\/p>\n

If they’ve passed it, so the full text should be online by now.\u00a0 I’m really, really sure that Erdogan is going to heed their demands and obey them right away.\u00a0 (If I have to put \/sarc on that….)<\/p>\n

Other than opposing everything Trump does, what is that really has their undies in a bunch over this? Oh, right: he made the decision Without Consulting Them.\u00a0 As I understand it, the Kurds are now trying to get help from Russia.<\/p>\n

The author of the article does indicate that the bases the US is leaving behind may possibly become “fortresses” for ISIS, because they are reinforced, but no real backup is provided for that. It is not all that difficult to pound a fortified facility with artillery and wreck it, or is it? I have no details on the construction of them, but it seems to me that a petard properly constructed and placed could do the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
