As Biden blasts away in Syria, Trump blasts out “The United States should have nothing to do with it.” This the aftermath of the fall of Syria. Reports are the U.S. has about 900 troops in Syria. Who knows how many “contractors.” Where would congress fall on this new war?
In March 2023, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. House put forth a resolution that would have required full withdrawal of American forces from Syria within 180 days of passage in the absence of congressional action authorizing their continued presence.
The resolution was voted down by 170 Republicans and 150 Democrats.
Months later, the U.S. Senate tanked a similar effort.
Erik Sperling, executive director of the advocacy group Just Foreign Policy, told The Intercept on Thursday that the Biden administration hasn’t “put the war in Syria up for debate because they know the American people don’t want another war in the Middle East.”Source
Let’s hope we make the next 43 days before Trump takes command.
The U.S. and Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes Sunday on targets in Syria following the dramatic collapse of the ruling Assad regime and amid concerns radical and terrorist groups could exploit Syria’s current situation.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes.
CENTCOM added that it struck the targets to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS” and render it incapable of exploiting the nation’s current state to regroup in central Syria.
There was no indication of civilian deaths from the strikes, CENTCOM noted.
“There should be no doubt — we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” CENTCOM’s commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla, said. “All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way.
”Referencing the airstrikes from the White House, President Joe Biden remarked, “We’re clear-eyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum, to reestablish its capabilities, to create a safe haven. We will not let that happen.”
So what are we doing? Biden admits he has no idea who these rebels are.
Meanwhile Trump opines on the matter:
Does Biden know he is on the way out? Can we pump the breaks on the promise to give more money to Al Qaeda?

Joe Biden isn’t “rebuilding Syria”, all these overseas “building projects” are ALWAYS MONEY LAUNDERING Prosecute Joe Biden and the whole Democrat Regime laundering our money overseas. Everyone involved needs to go to prison. When did this much money laundering become normalized?
We can’t get this regime out fast enough. Ukraine?
Just 6 more weeks of money laundering and kickbacks. Hopefully. It is in the DNA of DC politicians. The Biden Administration announces $988 million in military aid to Ukraine, including drones and rockets.
