White House says Erdogan promised Trump he'd finish off ISIS in Syria

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In his phone call with President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly promised that Turkey would take responsibility for finishing off the Islamic State group if the U.S. pulled out of Syria, a senior White House official tells NBC News.

"Erdogan said to the president, 'In fact, as your friend, I give you my word in this,'" the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to disclose details of a presidential phone call.

A second U.S. official confirmed that Erdogan had said during the call that Turkey could deal with any remaining ISIS fighters if Turkey were able to operate in northern Syria.

The Turkish Embassy in Washington and Turkish officials in Ankara had no comment Saturday.

And Trump was stupid enough to believe him.

1. Erdogan will do anything to not give the Khurds in Syria a win. Or allies.

Trump doesn't understand the nuances behind geopolitics. That is why he has experts. I bet the saudis and Israelis are pissed too.
