Weren’t the Russians our allies in WW II?? Yes and we basically helped them achieve everything Germany wanted to, a genocidal expansionist oligarchy who controlled half of Europe. It has become very obvious Communist/socialist regimes are destined for failure, I dont think the U.S should help form or promote them.

Kurds fought and died with us just like others we walked away from in the past! If they were the enemy why did the special ops guy work with them all of these years?

What was the problem when our guys were there fighting ISIS then why not let them stay there and keep the peace! When were the turks on our side?

Spot on, bblwi!!! dick cheney should have his name dragged through the mud anytime problem are bought up over there. One of the worst Americans in history. Not saying I disagree but why let Bush jr off the hook and just look at the VP? Ultimately it was President Bush who had the authority (maybe only in theory).

Fight with people for almost 30 years then walk away and let them get slaughtered wholesale, you will never sell me any angle I will agree with. It's not this guy or that guy it's about loyalty nothing more.

We are, once again, planting seeds that will sprout terrorists bent on paying us back....... We never learn. We could secure our border for a fraction of the cost as worrying about someone's border 7000 miles away. Yes. There are sooooo many things that would have been better uses for the money we have pour down the drain of that cesspool. And Donner, I don't give gw a free pass but, I believe cheney was pulling the strings and was upset that daddy-Bush didn't use the chance to stay over there and make him and heliburton friends even richer. HW was smart enough to know that going in without a workable exit strategy was a mistake.

Some of you genius' who are saying that we should not get out, are the same ones who screamed when we went in. If I had been King when 3,000 innocent Americans were slaughtered in 2001, they would be mining glass over there now. Our men and women were sent over there to fight a "kind" war with their hands tied behind their backs. If we are not willing to turn everything into rubble and not worry about collateral damage (women and, children included), then we should not step one foot over there. Period! Given all of the different factions involved over there who are mortal enemies of each other, it is impossible to "win" anything, therefore we should not spend one minute over there. We should get out now and stay out. If they attack us again, it will be time to fire up the glass factory.

Leaving is not the issue but when, how and what the results of those moves that will come back to bite us is the problem. Could of been done better a lot of different ways is all.

Syrian Kurds are now appealing to Assad and Russia for help
holding off Erdogan and the Genocide-bent Turks who are invading northern Syria.
Reports say a large number of ISIS dependents (women & children) plus close to 800
ISIS combatants have escaped from holding areas run by the KURDS.
Every thing is descending into chaos.
Perfect.
Glad U.S. forces are not caught in the crossfire but the pullout
could have been thought out a little better along with a big stick
to whack Erdogan if He started to act aggressively towards the Syrian/Iraqi KURDS.

Well let me say that I was in NAM and we were fighting with our hands tried. I can't remember how many times I had to call in to the CP for permission to fire back!!! What I needed was someone to help us win that WAR!!!! If it was the KURDS so be it. I don't think we should leave our allies. It just makes look more undependable. I don't like the way we got into this fight, but we should stick it out.
