President Trump has done the right thing with regard to America\u2019s troop deployment in Syria.\u00a0 Trump ordered the 2,000 US troops based in Syria to get out and come home.<\/p>\n

Neocons and the US war party are having apoplexy even though there are some 50,000 US troops spread across the rest of the Mideast.<\/p>\n

The US troops parked in the Syrian Desert were doing next to nothing.\u00a0 Their avowed role was to fight the remnants of the ISIS movement and block any advances by Iranian forces.\u00a0 As a unified fighting force, ISIS barely exists, if it ever did.\u00a0 Cobbled together, armed and financed by the US, the Saudis and Gulf Emirates to overthrow Syria\u2019s regime, ISIS ran out of control and became a menace to everyone.<\/p>\n

We will breathe a big sigh of relief if the US deployment actually goes ahead: it will remove a major risk of war with nuclear-armed Russia, whose forces are in Syria at the invitation of the recognized government in Damascus.\u00a0 The US has no strategic interest in Syria and no business at all being militarily involved there.\u00a0 Except perhaps that the war party wants never-ending wars abroad for arms production and promotions.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s abrupt pullout from Syria has shocked and mortified Washington\u2019s war party and neocon fifth column.\u00a0 They were hoping reinforced US forces would go on to attack Damascus and move against Iranian forces. \u00a0It was amusing to watch the anguish of such noted warlike chickenhawks as Sen.
