after the president announced the complete withdrawal of troops in syria. the president said he knocked isis out but he wants to keep u.s. troops in iraq to strike targets in syria just in case. what do you make of this? he is announcing policy while on the ground with troops in iraq. well, he is. it is a very interesting wrinkle. the president perhaps hedging his military bets, saying some of the troops in iraq could be used to conduct missions across the border into syria if isis rears its head again. did anybody think isis was really defeated? uh, not really. so how would this even work? this is going to be very tough. isis right now, the targets are very difficult. there are just a few. they are not very visible. this is not back in 2014 when there were convoys of isis fighters rolling through cities and towns in syria and iraq. they very much have gone to ground. so if you want the intelligence to be able to conduct either air strike it is or ground missions across the border in
