I don't care if this is from raw story, leftist source or was said on Morning Joe; make of it what one wants. I do find tiring the dolts who would repeat Russian and to lesser extents, Iranian/Syrian propaganda, you have quite a few of those around on the internet.   And this attack that just happened in Manbij, one could wonder some if this would have happened if Mattis had been in there and we had made no decision to leave!

Some of those attitudes are the same that Rand Paul says as well.  Stuff you read at the American Conservative and antiwar.com.
