WITH U.S. POLICY ON SYRIA IN TURMOIL, WILL ISIS WIN?
McGurk’s role as anti-ISIS envoy came with some political baggage, particularly with regards to Iraq where he did not jell with the Trump administration’s view on the Iranian threat.

rett McGurk, the US anti-ISIS envoy who was key to building the 74-nation coalition against ISIS, resigned on Saturday, casting doubt on the coalition’s viability and effectiveness. McGurk was appointed under the Obama administration in 2015. He was a key to building not only the creation of the largest military coalition in history, but also played a major role in the politics of the Middle East, meeting frequently with officials and local leaders in Syria, Iraq and the Gulf.

According to reports, McGurk was shocked by US President Donald Trump’s decision on December 19 to withdraw from Syria. After Secretary of Defense James Mattis resigned, McGurk also decided it was time to exit. He was supposed to be leaving in February 2019, but he pushed up the decision.

“The recent decision by the president came as a shock and was a complete reversal of policy,” he wrote in an email reported by the Associated Press. It leaves US coalition partners confused and bewildered, he noted.

If McGurk was in the White House in 2008, that means he was there for Pres. George W. Bush, hardly the "Obama-holdover" someone spoke of.

If you need to rely on McGurk to prove a point, you've lost the argument @TomSea

More Good News! Obama Appointee and Adviser behind Iraq Disaster and ISIS Nightmare Resigns (Two Months Early) Over Mean Trump

Now here’s the rest of the story…
McGurk was a long-time Obama adviser on Iraq which turned out to be an historic failure and complete global disaster. The Middle East and Europe are still suffering following that foreign policy nightmare.

Obama appointed him to his ISIS ambassador after the Islamic State took over most of Syria and Iraq.

President Trump came in and whooped ISIS butt in the caliphate.

McGurk was scheduled to retire in February. He put in his resignation this week early to pile on President Trump.

Good riddance.

isis will not be "the winner", even if they win.

The real winner will be something else.

Can you name what that is?
