President Trump savagely trolled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Wednesday after she threw a tantrum and stormed out of a White House meeting with Trump on Syria.
Pelosi was out of control on Wednesday and made a scene at the White House with her partner-in-crime Senator Chuck Schumer.

Yeah. Us being there wasn't an "endless war scenario," because we weren't engaged. We were a stabilizing force, which is a good thing.
Pulling out allowed what is happening now... to happen.

OK how long do we "stabilize" the Country we unstabilized? 5 years? 10 years? Should we just build permanent bases there?
What has to happen in Syria that we would no longer need troops there?

(Sigh)
They weren't there to keep the peace. They were there to train the Kurds. Who were doing the actual fighting against ISIS. And now the Kurds have been abandoned yet again to the Turks, whose leader had ignored the joke of a letter than The Donald sent him.
Trump seems to be genuinely surprised that people are kicking back against his completely all over the place Syria policy, which no-one understands because he keeps remaking it every day.

This letter.. Have you seen this letter?!
Was that written by a third grade pupil?! Nope. It was written by the Pope of Nope. Demented D is (still) in the House.

He sent it before the Turks crossed the border, so it seems to have been both nuts and completely ineffectual. I genuinely thought that it was a hoax letter until the White House confirmed it was real, as it's undiplomatic and as you pointed out reads like a schoolkid wrote it.

Well, ISIS had a major presence in Syria. The US forces were training the Kurds and were allied to the Free Syria forces (the Syrian civil war is ongoing and complicated), bringing down airstrikes on ISIS. UN Peacekeeping forces tend to be a buffer between recognised factions or rival countries. No-one has recognised ISIS as anything more than a terrorist group.
A lot of work has gone into crushing ISIS, from various administrations. What happens next is anyone's guess.

By the way, if anyone thinks that ISIS has gone away then they are delusional as Trump is. He did not crush them, he merely helped in their destruction as a regional power, with the bulk of the fighting being done by the Kurds, who are holding thousands of their prisoners. Al-Baghdadi is regrettably still free (albeit with a $25m bounty on his head) and there are sleeper cells allegedly all over the place. Given half a chance these scum will try to resurface and have another go at it.
