Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney criticized President Donald Trump over his decision to pull troops from Northern Syria.
“The President’s decision to abandon our Kurd allies in the face of an assault by Turkey is a betrayal,” Romney said Monday in a tweet. “It says that America is an unreliable ally; it facilitates ISIS resurgence; and it presages another humanitarian disaster.

Turkey is a NATO ally. The Kurds are not. We're in a mess in the Middle East, for better or worse.

I'm not certain how 1000 U.S. troops (does that include support, non-combatants too) are effective in controlling any situation except to sit as a group NOT to attack for fear of provoking the full fledged wrath of U.S. airstrikes.

Turkey should be thrown out of NATO. This country has gone to the other side. The Kurds should be protected.

Be very cautious of taking ANYTHING Romney has to say seriously. He is a lying Globalist and does nothing for Utah or anything positive anywhere else. He spent years selling out American Workers for personal gain.

Hey Mittens, remember Kennedy-Fascist and the Cubans? Or Carter-Fascist and Iran. And who could forget Obambi-Dumb Fascist and Israel. We have always been an unreliable ally. One wonders, with Trump and the art of the deal, if more is going on that we don't know about. After all, where are we getting our information? That's right, the Fake News.

#2, point we’ll taken, but support troops are not non-combatants. They are key in protecting the rear area - which in that situation there really isn’t one - and they carry rifles and have crew served weapons. Combat isn’t their primary job, but they should be ready for it. Or at least they used to be.

Mittens is involved in the Ukrainian (and most likely) other corruption through his son and advisors. Any chance to discredit Trump is his, and the rest of the Ruling Elite's, only hope. They underestimate New Yorkers. Trump has been switched on. He will not quit until they're ALL exposed!
And another thing. Trump has been slowly laying out the path to make all this happen. He might be uncouth, and an egomaniac, but he can orchestrate a project that has a thousand steps that must be completed in a certain order to achieve success. He has proven this!

Where was all of this outrage when Obama pulled the troops out of Iraq? We started the war in Iraq. I’m not sure why we are in Syria.

Frankly, I care a lot more about our own troops than I do the Kurds.
And it was 0bama who betrayed the Kurds. Remember his “red line”?

We did what we went there to do. There is nothing wrong with letting an ally take things over, and we are still in the area. It is their part of the world, afterall. Where is it dictated that everything our military does has to turn into a 25 year commitment?

He only moved 25 people.
I'm sure the Kurds can make the Turks bleed,and tie them down for years.
We gave Kurds plenty of weapons.
Just fall back and bleed them.
Kurds can attack their lines of communication.
Main force units get bogged down with hit and run attacks.

Romney is SUCH an obvious grudge holder that anything the man says should be taken with a massive truckload of salt. I found him a pathetic candidate, never answering back and with that simpering smile, but I voted for him because of the alternative (he won the lst debate and then, rather than finishing with an advantage, sat there like an idiot through the 2nd) but I would NEVER vote for him for ANYTHING again. Can someone please tell the man his motives are clear as glass?

Mitt losing support in Utah. Less expensive to vote him out than mount a recall IMO.

We have been "unreliable allies" in the Middle East for almost thirty years, fighting for one side or the other when both sides turn out to be our enemies. Getting out is the proper move. Most of the current mess was caused by Barack Obama and his muslim outreach but nobody is mentioning that. Afghanistan will go back to growing poppies and the others will continue to fight each other, like they have been doing for centuries. Now that Trump has struck down the stupid Obama-created environmental restrictions and made us oil-independent, we don't need any of them. Mitt Romney is just trying to keep his face out there in case they are successful in removing Donald Trump. No thanks, Mitt, you failed, go home.

Romney is an unreliable RINO.
Turkey has become or is on the verge of becoming an Islamist state, and should be kicked out of NATO.

President Trump said yesterday evening that his order to withdraw US troops from Northern Syria only related to moving about 50 US soldiers out of that area of Syria who were not fighting anyone but who were acting as essentially as a nation building police force in a very dangerous area. Of course the Wimpy Republican chicken hawks did not like that. Then of course the Democrats are opposed, even though they never said a word when Obama pulled out all US forces in Iraq leaving a vacuum that ISIS filled very quickly. There is no way the ISIS is going to make any sort of a comeback in the rather small area of Northern Syria that the Turkish Armed Forces occupies, as common sense will tell you that the Turks will be much more brutal towards ISIS then 50 US soldiers could ever be. Trump reminded his audience that he campaigned on withdrawing the US Armed Forces out of endless Middle East wars, and the conflict between the Kurds and the Turks is an endless Middle East War stretching back to before the modern era. Obviously Trump is keeping another campaign promise and the DC UniParty is certainly not used to that.

I have no doubt there's a strategy in force with the Kurds. They're smart and will have all the firepower and equipment we are leaving there. Like a child, you have to let them go and grow up and learn to not be dependent on mommy and daddy. Trump is no fool and if the Turks step out of line ... Swat!
Don't we have bases in Turkey?

Turns out Mittens has a direct line to the now famous Burisma Holdings in Ukraine. Seems his National Security Adviser, Joseph Cofer Black sits on the board of Burisma and quite coincidentally is best buds with John Brennan. Since when does a senator need a National Security Adviser?
Romney is not only a disgruntled loser but his hands are filthy dirty up to his elbows with deep state traitors. The people of Utah made a huge mistake when they voted him senator. It sickens me that I even supported this POS for president. We can only hope that if a major investigation of Burisma takes place, Mits will be caught red handed, prosecuted and jailed along with his Demorat friends. Hey, one can dream can't one?

Romney's side kick, low life traitor but full of himself Ryan has given FOX the tip 'dump Trump'. I am certain the 'tip' was ordered via Romney. I feel nothing about Romney the washed up nothing junior senator should ever be posted. As the new FOX board chap advised the network, we should do the same. Romney just does not get it. After writing an op ed piece he could not understand that Trump supporters were outraged. Does he think the Dems will vote for him. Possibly. Romney would be clobbered by the President, Warren or the Klintoon cow!

I no longer care what "Romney Says" as it is of no consequence to me. I also don't care when he is "Deeply Troubled" unless he is deeply troubled about crimes he is sure to have committed along the way and is afraid will see the light of day
