Now I am trying to recall saying anything more than this is what Trump promised to do.  I actually am opposed to this decision.  I understand his rationale.  I understand that Turkey is technically a NATO ally and as such, we are precluded from direct military action against a member of NATO and likewise.  I also understand that Turkey is claiming they are protecting their border from Kurdish attacks.  And I also understand that Turkey is not really an ally of the U.S.  Taking all that into account, I think removing our troops from Northern Syria was a mistake and I agree with this vote.

And the vote doesn't surprise me in the least.  Trump has accomplished something I did not think possible, getting Democrats and left wing nuts like you going on the record for endless war in far off countries. Simply amazing to behold.  Add that to your new found puritanism, concern about the national debt and so on is one of the more interesting facets of TDS.
