End endless wars? Trump reportedly considering sending as many as 14,000 more troops to the Middle East

Josh Hawley was dismayed when this WSJ story broke last night, vowing to demand answers from the Pentagon.

His numbers are correct. Trump spent many days in October defending his decision to withdraw from northern Syria amid Turkish threats of an invasion on grounds that he was keeping his promise to end America’s otherwise endless wars in the Middle East. That was deceptive even in the context of Syria: Most of the troops who left northern Syria didn’t come home, they were redeployed to Iraq and to Kurdish-controlled oil regions in Syria. But it was especially deceptive from a regional standpoint considering that 14,000 American troops have been sent to the Middle East since May. And now, if you believe the Journal, that number might soon double.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Pentagon contradicts itself on 14,000-troop deployment to Middle East report

The Pentagon both denied and reaffirmed reports that President Donald Trump is considering sending 14,000 more U.S. service members to the Middle East to counter Iranian aggression.

Two anonymous Pentagon officials told Fox News on Thursday that a plan of 7,000 troops was now being considered for deployment to the Middle East — the latest conflicting report to emerge about the deployment plans.

Pentagon Press Secretary Alyssa Farah had tweeted on Wednesday, “This reporting by the @WSJ is wrong. The U.S. is not sending 14,000 troops to the Middle East to confront Iran.”

In a second tweet, Farah reiterated, “To be clear, the reporting is wrong. The U.S. is not considering sending 14,000 additional troops to the Middle East.”
