#1 I wonder if this might be related to the Chinese "company" that wants to run the docks in (I believe in Haifa).

#2 He asked the Pentagon to make plans to leave more than a year ago. This seems to be the lay-on plan.

I never like worldwide dissemination of troop movements. Even if you have secret squirrel shit lined up, only Allies need to know.

The worst thing is Trump chased off Mattis. That is the worst thing you can do.
That is like me chasing off Sutton.

Very poor work there guy. Hope they don't get killed.

#3 MODS: When you Google "Rantburg," you're site doesn't show up as it usually does at the top. You have to go to a Rantburg reference at the bottom of page 1; something from 6 days ago.

#8 This came as a complete surprise to the entire military. Drumpf bent over to Ergogan and Asad, not to mention Putin.

Trump knows nothing about the military or what America’s military is doing.

#10 Drumpf = booger-eatin' troll

As it says in the Good Book, "by their stupid-ass insults ye shall know them".

withdraw US troops from Syria risks shattering a cornerstone of Washington's Middle East policy

I thought the cornerstone of our ME policy was giving the Persians pallet-loads of cash. Glad to see we are trying something different.
