“The American military was unable to carry out a plan to transfer about five dozen ‘high value’ Islamic State detainees out of Kurdish-run wartime prisons before the Pentagon decided to move its forces out of northern Syria and pave the way for a Turkish-led invasion,” the New York Times reports.

“In the same area on Sunday, hundreds of Islamic State sympathizers escaped from a low-security detention camp in the region, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Turkish ground invasion and the accompanying strikes.”

“Both developments underscored the pandemonium unleashed by President Trump’s sudden decision to order American troops to evacuate part of the Syrian region bordering Turkey.”

1. We are seriously and dangerously broken.

3. You can say that again. Some of our troops may now be isolated in that chaos.

I hope that there is ongoing action to get them safely back with the main US force in Syria.

5. That might cause him to care.

I bet that he played golf today, as some of our troops there are cut off from help. What a shiftless, corrupt person he is.

4. I saw Richard Engel's MSNBC report a few weeks ago

about how we (more like the Kurds with our help) have destroyed ISIS. He went to the camps where the families of prisoners are held. The women and tiny kids HATE the US and vow to destroy us. Now they are getting out and we know what will happen. FUCK tRump!

6. Yup

ISIS will re-emerge more hostile and will target Americans. tRump fucking around on a golf course while Kurds are getting slaughtered. And making a mockery on US troops.

7. This is all because of Trump's reliance on dinner conversations to make

brash, quick decisions. No room for good military strategies.

This is how the Republicans like it. They don't want to think too hard.
