1. He has to go,

the White House already has the results of the trip written up.

3. That's correct - they'll spin this as they, at least, tried...

...however, none of this diminishes the fact that Trump started this whole clusterfuck with an impetuous phone call.

2. Just goes to prove that t-rump is a coward.

t-rump gave the "green" light to slaughter the Kurds and for Russia to completely take over Syria. And I'm not surprised of the current sorry arse Republican party. Party over the welfare of the USA and our troops.

4. I don't think its safe in Ankara right now

Maybe Trump is sending him for a reason?
