CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 21, 2018
ONE OF THE FEW THINGS I LEARNED IN PHYSICS CLASS WAS THAT NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM. THAT’S WHY I’M CONCERNED ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S UNILATERAL DECISION TO PULL ALL 2200 U.S. FORCES OUT OF SYRIA. HE SAYS WE HAVE DEFEATED ISIS AND DECLARED VICTORY.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT ISIS AND OTHER TERRORIST OUTFITS WILL REGROUP AND YOU CAN BET IRAN AND RUSSIA WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VACUUM. TURKEY WANTS TO ELIMINATE THE KURDS, WHO WE TRAINED, AND GENOCIDE COULD RESULT WITH NO U.S. FORCES TO PROTECT THEM.
GEORGE W. BUSH DECLARED VICTORY OVER IRAQ AND THAT DIDN’T TURN OUT WELL. PRESIDENT OBAMA UNILATERALLY ORDERED U.S. FORCES OUT OF IRAQ AND CHAOS RESULTED.
YES, I THINK WE ARE OVEREXTENDED IN THE WORLD, BUT WHAT WE DON’T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS IS A RELIGIOUS WAR. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERMONS OF MULLAHS IN THE REGION AND READ AND WATCH THEIR MEDIA, THEY SEE ALL THOSE OUTSIDE THEIR FAITH AND SOME INSIDE AS INFIDELS WHOM THEIR GOD WANTS DESTROYED. THAT’S THE KIND OF ENEMY WE ARE FACING, DIFFERENT FROM ANY WE HAVE EVER FOUGHT. THIS WAR WON’T BE OVER FOR A VERY LONG TIME, IF EVER. I’M AFRAID PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DECISION TO WITHDRAW U.S. FORCES FROM SYRIA WILL MAKE HIS VICTORY DECLARATION A SHAM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
