I have mixed views on President Trump’s decision to pull out. I could go through the perceived pluses and minuses, but I will cut to the chase.
Nothing we have tried in Syria or the broader Middle East in general has worked very well. Will pulling out of Syria change that, I don’t think so. Will pulling out make things worse, I don’t think so, at least not for us.
I think we have plenty of intelligence capacity in the area without a presence in Syria.
I am willing to try something new and see how it goes.
