    Nothing like being in the Middle East now to see and feel the reaction to the president’s decision to withdraw from Syria. Many of those who called me crestfallen after the Obama decision not to act on the red-line are again downcast. So much they say for US commitments.

    McGurk told reporters on Dec. 11. “Nobody is declaring a mission accomplished. Defeating a physical caliphate is one phase of a much longer-term campaign.”

    A contact who works on projects in N/E and who recently met with officials tells me the Turks were bragging that knew about 's decision on U.S. forces before the Pentagon and State Department did. That's...disturbing.

    French diplomatic source: France was not consulted with, or warned about the US decision to withdraw troops from Syria. [France has troops in Syria, and is a partner in the anti-ISIS coalition]

    I would watch flight tracker from Damascus to Qamishli airports in the next days. Regime will do what they did in Afrin & send whatever materials they can to bolster YPG and other regime leaning forces in Qamishli and elsewhere to make sure Turkey will take sustained losses
