Sasse on Syria withdrawal: ‘American allies will be slaughtered’
By Tal Axelrod - 12/19/18 04:09 PM EST


Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Wednesday slammed the White House’s planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, saying the move puts U.S. allies at risk.

"Eight days ago the Administration called a hypothetical pullout ‘reckless.’ Today, we're leaving. The President's generals have no idea where this weak decision came from: They believe the high-fiving winners today are Iran, ISIS, and Hezbollah. The losers are Israel, humanitarian victims, and U.S. intelligence gathering," Sasse said in a statement.

"A lot of American allies will be slaughtered if this retreat is implemented."

Sasse, one of President Trump’s most vocal critics in the Senate, joined Trump ally and fellow GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) on Wednesday in blasting his administration's move to pull troops out of Syria.

1. I've been wondering what Erdogan wanted. I'm guessing once this

4. I think it's PUtin calling in his chips.

He's not getting the sanctions removed as he wanted so demanded tangible proof of drumpfs' following his wishes, or else he'd be very unhappy and who knows what he might leak to the world and Mueller?

2. "most vocal critics" hahahahahahahaha

He tweets out tepid criticism maybe once every few months and he is labeled as one of Trump's most vocal critics, that is some funny shit.


Peace

3. Well if the don't like it

Do something about it! Republicans in the senate need stop this mad man before he destroys the whole damn world! It's obvious he is doing this for Putin, along with take of sanctions off other Russians. Isn't it their job to protect the country from people like trump? They need to stand up for the people they represent, not some con artist crook that is backed by the "Russians" who helped him win!
