The Truth Finally Comes Out: Death Knell For Syria Pullout - President Drumpf States "We Have To Protect Israel" As Latest Excuse For Not Withdrawing From Syria!

I always knew that the truth eventually does come out..... When the US "announced" over a month ago that they were going to "withdraw" from Syria, I was very pessimistic, and I seriously doubted that this was the truth....  I knew that the US went illegally into Syria for their long planned criminal "regime change" and they were indeed hell bent on seeing that occur before they would ever "withdraw" from that nation....Now it is well over a month since US President Donald Drumpf stated that he would "withdraw" US troops from Syria, and the US troops are NOT going anywhere.... And the American public is finally awakening to the fact that the US troops are indeed still in Syria and want answers.... Well, Drumpf and his cohorts in the criminal US administration have tried several "excuses" over the last month to explain to the American public as to why this 'withdrawal' is not taking place....First they said that they had to "slow" the withdrawal to "protect the Kurds" in northern Syria that did not need any such "protection"... Next they tried their tried and true "If we withdraw, the terrorists will win" game, but by now anyone with common sense can see that the US is in fact the "terrorists"... So that lame excuse was exposed almost immediately....But now, the truth finally comes out as to why the US will indeed be staying in Syria, and does indeed expose their "withdrawal" announcement as being a fraud...For according to the following report from Tyler Durden, through the Aletho News website, at www.alethonews.com, Donald Drumpf himself came flat out yesterday on the US NBC Talmudvision network "Meet The Press" show and admitted that the US will indeed be staying in Syria to "Protect Israel"!   Here is that article right here for everyone to see for themselves, and I do have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:

Death Knell For Syria Pullout: “We Have To Protect Israel” Says Trump

By Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge – 02/03/2019

After approaching two months of talk of a “full” and “immediate” US troop withdrawal from Syria, first ordered by President Trump on December 19 — which was predictably met with swift and fierce pushback from beltway hawks including in some cases his own advisers — it now appears the death knell has sounded on the prior “complete” and “rapid” draw down order.Trump said in a CBS “Face the Nation” interview this weekend that some unspecified number of US troops will remain in the region, mostly in Iraq, with possibly some still in Syria, in order “to protect Israel” in what appears a significant backtrack from his prior insistence on an absolute withdrawal.“We’re going to be there and we’re going to be staying. We have to protect Israel,” he replied when pressed by CBS reporter Margaret Brennan. “We have to protect other things that we have. But we’re – yeah, they’ll be coming back in a matter of time.” He did note that “ultimately some will be coming home.”“Look, we’re protecting the world,” he added. “We’re spending more money than anybody’s ever spent in history, by a lot.” Trump’s slow drift and change in tune on the subject of a promised “rapid” exit comes after Israeli officials led by Prime Minister Netanyahu alongside neocon allies in Washington argued that some 200 US troops in Syria’s southeast desert along the Iraqi border and its 55-kilometer “deconfliction zone” at al-Tanf are the last line of defense against Iranian expansion in Syria, and therefore must stay indefinitely.“I want to be able to watch Iran,” Trump said further during the CBS interview. “Iran is a real problem.” He explained that “99%” of ISIS’s territory had been liberated but that a contingency of US troops must remain to prevent a resurgent Islamic State as well as to counter Iranian influence, for which American forces must remain in Iraq as well.“When I took over, Syria was infested with ISIS. It was all over the place. And now you have very little ISIS, and you have the caliphate almost knocked out,” the president said. “We will be announcing in the not too distant future 100% of the caliphate, which is the area – the land – the area – 100. We’re at 99% right now. We’ll be at 100.”However Trump’s invoking Iranian influence as a rationale for staying further contradicts his prior December statement that the defeat of ISIS was “the only reason” he was in Syria in the first place.

MARGARET BRENNAN: How many troops are still in Syria? When are they coming home?PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: 2,000 troops.MARGARET BRENNAN: When are they coming home?PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: They’re starting to, as we gain the remainder, the final remainder of the caliphate of the area, they’ll be going to our base in Iraq, and ultimately some will be coming home. But we’re going to be there and we’re going to be staying—MARGARET BRENNAN: So that’s a matter of months?PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We have to protect Israel. We have to protect other things that we have. But we’re- yeah, they’ll be coming back in a matter of time. Look, we’re protecting the world. We’re spending more money than anybody’s ever spent in history, by a lot. We spent, over the last five years, close to 50 billion dollars a year in Afghanistan. That’s more than most countries spend for everything including education, medical, and everything else, other than a few countries.  CBS “Face the Nation” Feb.3 interview transcript

The Pentagon in recent weeks has reportedly been putting logistics in place for a troop draw down from northern and eastern Syria.Though it remains unclear just how many troops could remain as the majority possibly begin to pullout toward US bases in Iraq, the Tanf base could remain Washington’s last remote outpost disrupting what US defense officials see as a strategic Baghdad-Damascus corridor and highway, and potential key “link” in the Tehran-to-Beirut so-called Shia land bridge.Foreign Policy magazine has identified this argument as the final card the hawks opposing Trump’s draw down had to play in order to hinder to an actual complete US exit:

“Al-Tanf is a critical element in the effort to prevent Iran from establishing a ground line of communications from Iran through Iraq through Syria to southern Lebanon in support of Lebanese Hezbollah,” an unnamed senior US military source told the magazine.

The Israeli prime minister has pushed hard against the White House pullout plan, and “has repeatedly urged the U.S. to keep troops at Al-Tanf, according to several senior Israeli officials, who also asked not to be identified discussing private talks,” per Bloomberg. The Israelis have reportedly argued “the mere presence of American troops will act as a deterrent to Iran” even if in small numbers as a kind of symbolic threat.The internal administration debate, following incredible push back against Trump’s withdrawal decision, has made entirely visible the national security deep state’s attempt to check the Commander-in-Chief’s power. And now US presence at al-Tanf represents the last hope of salvaging the hawks’ desire for permanent proxy war against Iran inside Syria.It appears the deep state has won out over Trump’s initial policy decision once again; but it remains to be seen if, however slowly on what’s clearly a delayed timetable departing from his original plans, all US troops ultimately exit Syria. Until then there’ll be more time and perhaps more provocations the hawks can rely on to effectively ensure full circle return to indefinite occupation in Syria.NTS Notes: WHY does this not in the least bit shock me?   I always knew, along with anyone who knows the real truth, that the US government was demanded by their Jewish masters to go marching into Syria to get the criminal Jewish want for "regime change" so that the Jewish pricks in Israel would continue with their Greater Israel project by seeing Syria destroyed and dismembered... There was therefore NO WAY IN HELL that the US would ever "withdraw" unless they were commanded to by their Jewish masters!And as I said before the KEY to the entire Syrian conflict does indeed rest upon the US forward offensive base located at Al Tanf in soothern Syria... I have said and repeated countless times that the US illegal position at Al Tanf is like a "dagger" in the heart of Syria itself...For from the Al Tanf position, the US could ultimately launch full scale offensive operations right across Syria itself...It is no wonder the US is not going to leave Al Tanf unless they are forced out...Yes, the truth does finally come out... The US is indeed not ever going to withdraw from Syria as they are there as commanded by their Jewish masters who absolutely want to see their Greater Israel project proceed with Syria's destruction.... And this also shows as I have been saying all along; Drumpf is indeed a Jew butt kisser who gets his orders from his Jewish masters as well!More to comeNTS
