As President Trump continues to address the possibility of a Syria
pullout, other top administration officials tried to downplay that,
insisting that even with the 100% defeat of ISIS, the war against ISIS would rage on.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says that the commitment to destroying ISIS will continue “through our efforts and God’s help,” and urged countries concerned about the US to get more deeply involved in the war.
Vice President Mike Pence also undercut the withdrawal
from Syria, insisting that US troops would remain in the region, and
would continue to strike ISIS inside Syria and elsewhere around the
Middle East.
This appears intended to placate hawks who are outspokenly opposed to
withdrawing from Syria under any conditions, by arguing that the US is
still for all intents and purposes going to be entangled in Syria, even
if the troops aren’t physically there.
What I’m wondering is when will the ISIS fighters be eligible to collect their G.I. benefits? Surely, the money we gave them to fake an uprising in Lybia, Syria and elsewhere wasn’t enough, plus all the photoshoots of the fake beheadings? If nothing else they all deserve jobs as stuntmen in Hollywood. If it wasn’t for these heros we’d all have a standard of living many times greater than what it is, but hey! Poverty is Jesus like.
Good point! They deserve severance pay which is processed through Israel which might be holding up the payments.

Great title to a good article, totally captures the absurdity of the war machine in Syria.
Yes, we will fight IS well on after IS is defeated because… well, just because. Money and Iran and stuff.
“through our efforts and God’s help”
If there is a god, he just vomited.
Good to see the devout Christians knowing God’s will and following it.
