That's good.

But the Pentagon is still talking direct conflict in Syria.

Assad would "welcome" U.S. troops to Syria, on his terms

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bashar-assad-trump-welcome-us-troops-isis-sovereignty-respected/

DAMASCUS, Syria -- Syria’s President Bashar Assad says he would welcome U.S. troops into his country to help fight ISIS militants “without any hesitation” if the Trump administration espouses a “clear political stance, not only with regards to (the fight against) terrorism, but also about Syria’s sovereignty and unity.”

“You could not talk about sending troops if you’re not honest, or if you do not have a clear political stance,” the Syrian dictator said in an interview with Yahoo News that was published Friday. “We welcome them as well, just as we welcome any other country that wants to fight the terrorists and defeat them.” 




I'm with Igor Mass on this one; I think this all about ISIS.

Remember, Trump ordered a plan to be formulated to defeat ISIS in 30 days... it has been 24.

[TuHolmes]

The US should not be involved at all.

Why is this a thing?!

If this is true, Trump's administration will crumble around him. The US, as a whole, does not want to be in another war.

[TuHolmes]

Ok, I'm for going into to Syria IF we can get one simple answer first:

Who and what are we fighting for over there?

Obviously we'd want to kick the snot out of ISIS. Ok?
Then what? What's the end goal for Syria?

Nothing. We started this shit to oust Assad by proxy.

Turned out just like helping the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. We made Al Quaeda. We made Isis. And all to stop the Soviets and then a person aligned with Russia.

US policy is ignorant.

[SaintAnger]

Trump directed the DOD to come up with a policy for ISIS/Syria in 30 days.

A ground troops war theater situation in Syria is potentially one of their resolutions.

This whole Administration is going great.  Just great.   Our young men and women have had enough death in the Middle East, and so have they.

We didn't make Al Qaeda, not directly. They were created, funded and trained by the Pakistani ISI during the war when they Afghan refugees were taking shelter in the tribal regions.

Definitely agree with the ISIS take. We funded and continue to fund and arm them in Syria. Actually, we are funding and arming Al-Nusra, ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria at the moment.

Fucked up stuff.

Fair. We sent them arms and trained them, but I suppose we didn't put more than that into Al Qaeda.

Yes. We are funding them right now. Plus our drone strikes are not only against the, but also Assad.
.we. Need. To. Leave.
