Brett McGurk, special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, 

had been planning to exit his post in February 2019. But sources said  he informed 

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he will accelerate his departure due to a strong 

disagreement with President Trump's decision to withdraw 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria,  

McGurk submitted his resignation, just one day after Defense Secretary James Mattis

 quit his post citing fundamental disagreements with the commander-in-chief.

The special envoy was publicly left in the lurch by the president's declaration that

 he was pulling U.S. forces out of Syria, against the advice of his top national 

security advisers.

It appears that many in the State Dept. wants to continue the war. Haven't we 

learn something about the previous wars we have been in? Was there ever a good outcome? 

 Just a thought.
