    Wow, the minute Trump finally moves to withdraw a tiny fraction of America's global military hegemony, Mattis declares his views are 'not aligned' with Trump's and resigns. Shows how little deviation from consensus is tolerated within the foreign policy establishment

        Mattis leaving is extremely telling yet unsurprising. Bush started an illegal war in Iraq/set up a torture network still in use 2 this day. Mattis himself over saw the carnage in Fallujah. Participated genocide in yemen. Willing 2 go 2 war in NK but draws the line at ending a war

        Withdrawing "a tiny fraction of America's global military hegemony" would be a good thing if it weren't 1) totally screwing over the Kurds, who have gone out a limb to assist us and 2) being done at the request of one V. Putin of Moscow.

        ig War is finally losing. Only Trump made this happen. It's why I & millions of others voted for him. So many people have made so much money with our illegal, endless wars. Their gravy train is threatened.

        Oh my God, yes, Michael, you're absolutely right, Mattis resigned over THIS AND ONLY THIS; this isn't the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back - there was NO tension between Trump and Mattis until the Syria decision. Amazing

        So Mattis quits b/c he doesn't get his way & it's somehow POTUS throwing a temper tantrum. Gotta love the propaganda. It's a POTUS call 2 bring our troops home, not his. So...thx 4 ur service General & for recognizing POTUS will be better served by someone else-on that we agree!

        As soon as we decide it’s time to end our part in fighting a war, the military gets all huffy. We’ve done enough. The old definition of winning doesn’t apply in the Middle East. It’s time to end our part.

        Since you're such an expert, please offer your prediction for when the US pulls out unilaterally WITHOUT NEGOTIATIONS OR PRECONDITIONS. Invading Iraq was obviously a disaster and war crime. But when Obama pulled out, Iraq got ISIS. Say NOW what you think will actually happen.

        Nobody knows what will happen. We know that we have no legal cover for our presence in Syria, either from the host government or from Congress. And we know that there is nobody with which to negotiate and nothing to negotiate about. How long should we simply fill a power vacuum?
