Liar. Trump never said they'll stay in Syria until "we roll back Iran". That was Bolton & Pompeo who tried to make that the policy by announcing it.

And Iran has left, that was part of the negotiation for US withdraw to keep everyone happy. The jet carrying the last of the Iranian advisers was leaving on Christmas day & those Israeli fucks attacked it as it was taxying in the Damascus airport putting 2 civilian airliners at risk. That's the 3rd time they've tried to take out that plane & it has a civilian transponder so can be monitored by anyone.

I've got to give Jimmy Dore credit.  He may not like Trump but when Trump does something he likes he gives Trump credit.

It looks like Trump really did just hire Bolton to scare people. Like look at this Mad Dog I have on a leash. With that said these unilaterally threatened withdrawals could be a form of hardball negotiation with Trump's domestic enemies.

Yeah I agree about Bolton, he seems to get ignored a lot of the time. He screwed up with Noth Korea & I don't think Trump has trusted him since. I don't agree that the withdrawl is a rouse but if he gives too much leeway the hawks will keep the forever war going - this seems likely in Iraq/Afghanistan. They badly want a presence in the Middle East. Without it they have to admit the ~7 trillion spent was a complete waste of money.
