1. Lindsey Graham and other neocons/neolibs who say our troops must remain in Syria are wrong. We need to get out of Syria ASAP in a responsible manner (it shouldn’t take long). An example of an IRRESPONSIBLE withdrawal…

2.…was the retreat of the Iraqi Army from Mosul in 2014, allowing ISIS to take over the city, capture US Humvees, equipment, & heavy weapons and use them against civilians in Iraq and Syria.

It was also irresponsible for the Obama administration to set up a gun running program from Libya to Syria and to support terrorists. Regional players need to resolve regional problems.

"irresponsible" meaning, of course, perfectly in line with our imperial desires to destabilize those countries so we can conquest their resources but yes, regional players must be strengthened. Pan-Africanism and Pan-Arabism are counterweights to western imperialism.

All correct, Major Gabbard. Reasoned, careful noninterventionism. Would LOVE to see you in a national security position. A president of any party would be wise to appoint you.

I know you know the difference between a withdrawal and a retreat. Don’t conflate the two, that’s what the pro-war types do to justify endless occupation.

@TulsiGabbard what about the Kurds? I agree, we must get out but we must take care not sign the Kurds death warrant. What can we do? Please, we need an honest appraisal. Is an evacuation of the Kurds possible?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

“Capture” Really?
What you meant to say was... Our government, under direct orders from senators on both sides of the aisle, provided and gave them weapons such as Humvees, equipment, and heavy weapons to against civilians in Iraq and Syria.
There, I fixed it for you.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yes. 1. They killed Saddam there where in Syria Assad has a good hold. It will be different than Iraq. 2. The US soldiers deliberately left the weapons for ISIS. Just make sure they bring their weapons with them this time.

Yes, but the US was arming ISIS. So I guess that also weighed in how things turned out.

The U.S. abandoning the Kurds, an ally (again) doesn't look good.
