Syria's foreign minister on Monday vowed to drive U.S. troops out of his country if they do not leave voluntarily.

Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad called the presence of Turkish and U.S. troops in northern Syria illegal and a flagrant violation of international law.

Hundreds of U.S. troops are stationed in eastern Syria and working with Kurdish-led fighters to combat the Islamic State militant group. Turkish forces are present in northern Syria, where Turkey has supported and funded Syrian opposition fighters against Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.

Has Gen. Milley called his Syrian counterpart to let them know the senile old goat in the WH will be stopped from launching a nuclear first strike?  Or was that "honor" reserved for Trump only?

Since US presence in Syria traces back to OhBummer!'s machinations rather than part of GWB's legacy, I wonder whether LIEden will go along with this Syrian demand.
