Kurds in Iraq, Kurds in Syria. It's the Syrian Kurds, aka the PPK, a Marxist/Leninist inspired outfit that are in danger of Turkish forces. They can go to Iraq if they are afraid for their lives. We fought with the Kurds in Iraq, but the Syrian kurds we are just providing a human shield from, uh, our NATO ally since 1952 - Turkey.
Pulling out of there is the right thing to do. We don't need to find ourselves in a situation where we are fighting Turkish forces and Turkey asks NATO for help against us. Yeah, it sucks for the PKK. I'm sure they have a real beef with the Turks but oh well.
You know that Obama/Hillary wanted Assad gone so they could build a pipeline from Iran to Turkey and eventually the EU, right? And that ISIS wasn't just created in a vacuum, Obama and Co. had them armed with some nasty weapons including Stinger missiles. Which came from Libya. You remember that place? Used to be the cork in the bottle in North Africa and is now the center of the African slave trade? Something something Benghazi.
The Democrats and neocons that hate Trump are just trying to get him out on a branch so they can saw it off. He decided to just climb down from the tree.
