US President Trump campaigned heavily on a platform committed to ending the endless US wars in the Middle East, stating many times in the past that the United States should “stay out” of Syria.
Now a vast array of reports from senior State Department officials are claiming that Trump agreed to a new strategy in Syria that indefinitely extends the illegal US military effort there and launches a major diplomatic push to achieve failed American objectives.
Trump's 180 on Syria has shifted away from defeating ISIS to now include the exit of all Iranian military and proxy forces from Syria, and "the establishment of a stable, nonthreatening government acceptable to all Syrians and the international community." When was the secular state of Syria ever a threat to the United States, or allies in the region?
Senior officials claim that much of the motivation for Trump's change of heart stems from growing doubts about whether Russia is able and willing to help eject Iran from Syria.
Senior US State Department officials are also moving way from branding the Al-Qaeda-ISIS jihadists fighting in Syria as "moderate rebels", opting now to call the contingent of terrorists camped out in Idlib, by the new moniker of "domestic rebels".
James Jeffrey, a retired senior Foreign Service officer who last month was named Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s “Representative for Syria engagement” said America's “new policy is we’re no longer pulling out by the end of the year.”
"U.S. forces are to remain in the country to ensure an Iranian departure and the enduring defeat of the Islamic State."
“That means we are not in a hurry.”
When asked whether Trump had signed off on what he called “a more active approach,” Jeffrey said, “I am confident the president is on board with this.”
Jeffrey should feel confident of Trump's capitulation. The Deep State has been working overtime to burden the POTUS with threats of impeachment and criminal prosecution, providing Trump only option for some sense of relief from the never ending assault on his Presidency...to partake in the most bipartisan activity America has ever known, war in the Middle East.
