President Trump announced earlier today that ISIS has been DEFEATED in Syria:
We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.

But Lindsey Graham issued a SERIOUS warning:
With all due respect, ISIS is not defeated in Syria, Iraq, and after just returning from visiting there — certainly not Afghanistan.

President @realDonaldTrump is right to want to contain Iranian expansion.
However, withdrawal of our forces in Syria mightily undercuts that effort and put our allies, the Kurds at risk.

A decision to withdraw will also be viewed as a boost to ISIS desire to come back.

Withdrawal of this small American force in Syria would be a huge Obama-like mistake. https://t.co/028NOsbyzT

OBAMA-LIKE MISTAKE.
Yeah… that kinda stings.
Those are NOT words he would use lightly.
Thoughts?
