Withdrew..

 

The Defense Department is developing plans to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria, two U.S. defense officials told NBC News on Tuesday.  

President Donald Trump and officials close to him recently expressed interest in pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, the officials said, leading Pentagon officials to begin drawing up plans for a full withdrawal in 30, 60 or 90 days.  

 late 2019, Trump ordered Defense Secretary James Mattis to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria. Mattis pushed back against the plan and ultimately resigned in protest.  

Trump withdrew most U.S. troops but subsequently moved them back. The U.S. presence in Syria has continued since then. 

In December, the Pentagon announced that roughly 2,000 troops were deployed to Syria, more than double the number the military had said for years, about 900.

What good did we do in Syria? And how much did it cost the taxpayer

 over the past 15 years?

How much misery created in the area under our noses? Just a thought.
