    Brett McGurk Retweeted AFP news agency

    Given this serious situation in #Syria and the #SDF now holding thousands of #ISIS fighters and families, the last thing we should do is plan to withdraw 90 percent of the American force. Makes no sense. The SDF needs more support right now, not less.https://twitter.com/afp/status/1104448452589703168?s=21 …

    US-backed fighters have been hoping for weeks that the final day has come for IS's "caliphate", but its last sliver of land just won't seem to empty. Tens of thousands of dust-covered people have streamed out of Baghouz -- and they still keep on coming http://u.afp.com/J5az

        Dear @brett_mcgurk, what is gonna happen to all these ISIS terrorists and their families? No country wants them. And, we can't just keep feeding and looking after them. These are never going to be civilized people ever again.

        The Middle East with all it's factions. Shia and Sunni and Palestinian and Israeli just to name the obvious. A person looking in from the outside has the impossible task of understanding the intricacies.
