    I argued starting n 2017 US should quit Syria entirely. BUT if we stay, then we have legal responsibilities. US policy is "stay" but fudge/ignore the intl. legal responsibilities w Rukban. Assad shouldn't block aid, but what 2 expect from war criminal? So we r required 2 step up.

    I just criticized Ilhan Omar on a clip which I didn’t know was doctored, and which took her words out of context. Here is the full, undoctored clip, which I recommend everyone who made the same mistake to see. I deleted my earlier tweet. Apologies.

    “Look at where they’re hiding. It’s deserts. It’s caves. It’s places no one can ever fully control." With the ISIS caliphate in tatters, Iraq's militants are digging in across inhospitable terrain. But they're a shadow of their former selves.

    This can’t be understated. If anything, it just shows that the reasons for the move are too compelling to make such a hard decision

    A new era indeed. A similar decision back in the early 1990s during the Gulf War evoked a wave of opposition and conspiracy theories by the then influential Sahwa figures. This time it seems to have garnered little…

    The reasons why the US troops had had to withdraw 15 years ago make it clear how desperate this move is. It must be driven by more than just one fear. Although most of the loudest critics of the 1992-2003 troops presence are now either in jail, in exile or dead.

    That’s more than 15 years after the US had to withdraw its troops from Saudi Arabia, and relocate to Qatar, under popular/clerical pressure in the kingdom. Interesting this statement is announced so officially. …
