"He's surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory."

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

could care less about how many people are killed by his actions as long as it doesn't directly affect them. Same thing applied to "W" Bush after the hundreds of thousands that were killed for no reason.

We are an immoral country and this will continue until the people of American pay a price for the suffering we have caused around the world.

You cannot stir up a hornet's nest and then not expect to get stung. The US has become the terrorists of the world.

All talk and violence but runs at the first resistance. Especially formidable resistance like we've seen. Run Donnie, Run.

Probably the gulf nations. Not only is this not going to be a cake walk, it will and has made things worse. Top it off, China may decide to hit Taiwan if we are extremely low on munitions. We'll be got flat footed.
