mention the destruction of libya or the failure to achieve any of the american objectives in syria how come that the two years of the. administration which you can argue have an inch of much but didn't do much harm in terms of lives lost are described as a as show by the obama policy doesn't quite rise to that when it comes to the middle east term policy is not that much different from that it is very much expressing the increasing opinion in the american public that it's time for us to to get out of the mideast the middle east as a region seen by the majority of the americans as being a failed region and that we have spent blood and treasure in it over year of decades and we have not gotten anything in return and so what trump is doing today in syria with his decision. last december to disengage from syria of to withdraw from syria is very much a continuation of the obama policy when in two thousand and eleven he decided to also and. what matters in professional circles is not intentions but the results of that policy and it's quite clear that in terms of the results trunk the tra

amendment sponsored by majority leader mitch mcconnell to keep u.s. troops in syria and afghanistan. amendment, the pending amendment we're going to vote on in here in about 25 minutes and it is an amendment that says it is a mistake to proceed with withdrawal from syria in the pace and scale that is currently proposed or that the white house has announced that they're going to undertake. this is -- what i'll say here today is what i said initially about it, my position that i thought it was a bad idea. i said it then. i said it to the president in a subsequent meeting. and i thought it was important to restate it here as we begin to vote since i believe this issue is going to be covered in the press more as a political issue than it is a foreign policy one. and it's unfortunate that a lot of these issues are wrapped up as political decisions. these are not votes on political decisions. these are votes on the conduct of american foreign policy which oftentimes have no partisan lines but rather ideological in some cases or simply different ways to view an issue. i share the white hou
