THE LAST PLACE

 I see that some American soldiers were killed and wounded along with one interpreter while they were doing something in Syria with the current rulers of Syria's armed forces. I am sorry to see that. That said, Syria is just about the last place on the planet where we need to have any American soldiers at all. It is a famous dead zone much like Afghanistan and Pakistan where there is nothing worth preserving, nothing worth saving, nothing worth defending and nothing that is ours.

I believe that President Trump tried to order our forces out of Syria in his first term but the contemptible slime in the Pentagon and State Department fought that every inch of the way and left our troops there on a pointless and useless mission that served no benefit to anyone, least of all Americans. Every single soldier there needs to go. 

We have done the thing we do best to preserve the flow of oil and that is pretty much guaranteed one way or another and you all know that we simply don't need it. It used to serve our purpose to help the oils flow to Europe and the Far East but not so much anymore. In fact, I cannot think of any reason to worry about the flow of oil out of the Middle East. If they want to sell it, they have the means to guard it and we'll profit from selling them more weapons to do it with. In the meantime, suggest to your representatives that they should urge the total withdrawal of American forces from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and the rest of north Africa.

When the little Barbary pirates decide that the time is ripe to sneak back out and do their thing, we will still be there, just based and supported out of the northern north African bases in Italy and Greece. Who knows, perhaps the north Africans living in Marseilles would like to support an American battle group visit every month or two. With the French you never know and with the new pseudo-French it is impossible to know.
