argue to you that how our leaders deal with this obvious bad act by our president is a window into our future. we start with the fact that some of the president s strongest supporters in the senate disagree. he will have american blood on his hands if he abandons kurds because isis will come back. and if any american is killed anywhere because of isis, it will fall on trump administration. i think it was a mistake, and i hope it s not too late to stop this aggression. you re not used to hearing that. that tells you that s how clearly they see this. that takes us to the house and a window into our potential future. by that i mean impeachment. why? because this situation in syria is such clear proof of bad judgment, bad policy, and bad leadership that it serves as a litmus test for whether the right is about principle or
with the kurds was cowardly and wrong and unamerican and now we look terrible and we don t have any guarantee of allies to fight against isis, who you just enhanced. chris, i guess you approve of men and women being in syria under our military banner and doing that without congressional authority. that s my fundamental objection. i ve been asking you guys to do your jobs are you haven t. you didn t speak out against this president when he bombed? syr syria. i don t know what this genuine belief is in terms of consistency. you did a double wrong here. i appreciate that judgment but what i will say, when you re bombing, seeking intelligence, thattes differe e that s different than putting men and women boots on the ground. true but they re both military first the only time the president can do it himself is imminent plthreat to us and tha bombing didn t qualify. you didn t say anything. and i m going to continue to

only reason we re in this situation of watching the kurds fighting for their lives is because of what this president did? well, absolutely. the president green lighted turkey into syria. he cleared the way so the turkish troops could enter and slaughter, annihilate the kurds. it s the most massive, most horrific double cross perhaps in the recent history of the presidency. and the president is now panicking. i mean, he realizes that there s no constituency that supports this. republicans don t support it, democrats don t support it, nobody in the foreign policy community supports it and the kurds are being annihilated as we speak, isis detainees are fleei fleeing. so why did he do it? i don t know the answer to that. we have to get to the bottom of the giuliani story. i will say this, the president has been pretty clear from the get-go that he wanted our troops out of syria, but if that were the case, there was a way to do
