Mitch McConnell: Withdrawing from Syria is a grave mistake

OP
OP
i think they might have actually decided to end this.
but they've gotta cross the Ts and dot the Is for their base
so many unforced errors from the Trump admin, like his people are just stepping back and letting him hang himself
they thought they could tame this ridiculous orange beast and bring him to heel but uh oh spaghetti-os
I would never trust Mitch to do anything about trump. Moscow Mitch has so many conflicts that I'm sure Trump has stuff to blackmail him with.
LOL at fucking Mitch throwing shade at Obama calling him reckless for withdrawing while himself was FOR the Iraq invasion which is really what ultimately created the power vacuum an chaos that concluded with the rise of ISIS. No self-awareness for these fools.
Dude literally has the power to put an end to this shit and instead does nothing. Stop being concerned and do something you complicit fuck. You could literally cross the aisle and start solving this problem this very second. Instead youre hoping your constituents give you the wiggle room to do something when theres no political blow back on you but they wont because you cultivated them to act that way.
But Mitch won't do a thing about it because he knows that Trump will expose a lot of dirt that he has on him if Mitch turns on Trump.
Mitch didn't use Trump's name because, as we all know, Trump won't read anything that doesn't have his name in it (and pictures).
This pathetic wimp has every opportunity to say this to Trump's face, or to the Senate, or to the country, aloud.
I wonder if he even wrote it. He's doing nothing more than walking a fence, placating any voters that don't like the decision.

The ironic thing is: by sticking to a withdrawl agreement negotiated by his predecessor's administration, Obama maintained the US' international credibility by showing that the country keeps its word even as administrations come and go. By backing out of the Iran Deal and backstabbing the allies first enlisted during his predecessor's tenure, Trump defiled the country's international credibility by showing that an agreement with the US is void the moment the Oval Office switches occupants.
Despite conservatives' love of conflating these two events, they are exact opposites in terms of diplomatic spirit.
Anyway, it's rich that Mitch is now griping indirectly about Trump. He and his fellow GOP head honchos knew what Trump was from the very beginning and could have set up a front to check Trump's worst impulses. Instead, for the sake of tax cuts and judges, they kept enabling and enabling and enabling and Trump just kept pushing the boundaries because he felt he could.
