A bipartisan letter signed by nearly 400 US Congress members is calling on President Trump to remain militarily engaged within Syria, while claiming to be “deeply concerned” about extremists in the country.
President Trump had announced a pullout from Syria in December, but had
already disavowed it repeatedly by February. Still, lawmakers want to
keep emphasizing how enthusiastic about the Syrian War they are, and
push Trump into escalating it against various other parties.
Once a war about ISIS, the letter urges Trump to “increase pressure on
Iran and Russia with respect to their activities in Syria.” The US
already treated Syria as something of a proxy war, and the letter
suggests they do away with all pretext and just make it into a war
against Iran and Russia over Syria.
The lead signers of the letter were top party leaders and ranking
committee members in both the House and the Senate. This once again
underscores that on matters of war, Democrats and Republicans within
leadership positions are almost completely in-line on keeping the wars
going.
*facepalm* But a lot of you guys are convinced congress really gives a damn about what’s going on in Yemen, right?
Who cares if they were sincere? I’ll take an insincere vote on a resolution that ends our involvement in any of our wars.
True. A degree of pragmatism is in order. Ending the carnage is the goal.
Hundreds of billions of dollars a year are looted from the American people to fund these wars. Misery is inflicted on millions of innocent people around the world. 400 congress persons think this is a good idea.
I think these 400 members of Congress are a bad idea.
I have begun a campaign to replace Richard Neal for representative of congressional district in Massachusetts.

Practically every member of Congress and practically every mainstream media (including Fox), just love their wars.
Important details to keep in mind are 1) Russia and Iran are in Syria LEGALLY because Assad called on them to assist his country’s efforts to repel an invading force. This was done according to the rules of the UN. US and UK are not there legally. 2) The extremists that are referred to in the letter are forces that are being bankrolled by the US.
“Lawmakers”? They support the illegal U.S. presence in Syria. They are all War Criminals who have violated the U.N. Charter, the U.S. Constitution, and the Nuremberg Principles. Lock them up!
Yet another shameful example of how Zionist/Neocon influence dominates DC. America is Israel’s b*tch. I’d like to see a list of those 35 courageous Congresspersons who ***didn’t*** sign this treasonous betrayal of their own country.
You couldn’t get 400 of these charlatans to tell Trump to lift the sanctions on Iran or to stop participating in the KSA/UAE slaughter in Yemen. HYPOCRITES!
Gabbard, Sanders and Warren did not sign. Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, Gillibrand and Moulton signed.
I phoned my congressman and the staff seems in the dark except for reference to a vague letter sent warning about danger.
Where can we find this letter and the list of signers?

The “two” party system shows their true owners every time when it comes to foreign policy.
“Letter written by lobbyists and signed by the useful idiots of the elite, urges Trump to stay in Syria”
Fixed it for you at no charge 🙂
Draft every one of these self-serving bastards …and their children. Send them to Stria.
Publish their names and we will know who the Rothschild Banking Cartel is bribing to keep these wars going!
Somebody needs to charter a one-way flight to Idlib in Syria for every one of these traitorous “legislators”. Maybe Assad and the Syrians will do what the American public cannot!
those wanting the invading forces to remain need fired asap, they violate the constitution .
