Sen. Rand Paul doubles down on his support of Pres. Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, telling TheView that leaving troops in northern Syria would overextend the military.
"I think the Iraq War and the regime change in the Middle East are senseless and so does President Trump," Paul said."He doesn't want to get involved in another Iraq War in Syria. If anything, Syria is more complicated. The Kurds have been our allies and the Kurds are in all likelihood going to be allies with [Bashar al-Assad] to try to carve out a place in Syria for themselves.""War is not a chess game," he told the hosts.
I stand with @realDonaldTrump today as he once again fulfills his promises to stop our endless wars and have a true America First foreign policy. "These are the same people that would have us still in Vietnam. They are the same people who always say 'stay at war, stay at war, stay at war.' It has not helped us. We have been in Afghanistan for 19 years. The same people complaining about this -- the Cheneys, Lindsey Graham -- you know what they say about Afghanistan, it would be precipitous to leave," Paul said."We have been there 19 years and there's no mission.
"The United States does not endorse this attack and has made it clear to Turkey that this operation is a bad idea," Trump said in a statement."There is blood on anyone’s hands, starting with [Paul] and President Trump’s, letting this happen because there are people being slaughtered after standing with our troops in the Middle East for an extremely long time fighting against terror cells," she said on Thursday's episode.
