I want to go to terry. You were embedded with the troops fighting isis. One of the factors that complicates the mission here and we know the United States were warning in the security council. Thats right. This action by President Trump puts his administration squarely at odds with vladamir putin in russia. They changed the war and saved Bashar Al Assads regime in syria. They are fighting not just isis but long time area that projects power from their influence in syria. They arent really committed to bashar al assad, the president of syria.
