Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as the “neocon War Caucus” after they criticized President Trump‘s decision to remove U.S. troops from northern Syria.
“The Cheney/Graham neocon War Caucus wants to come back to DC and declare a war. My question for them is – who will you declare it on?” he tweeted Wednesday.
“Will it be out NATO allies the Turks? Will it be Assad? Will it be Islamic rebels? Which ones? They want to keep starting endless wars in conflicts that go back hundreds of years, but what they want makes no sense,” he added.

I know this @realDonaldTrump is the first President in my lifetime to understand what is our national interest and what is not. He is stopping the endless wars and we will be stronger as a result. The Cheney/Graham Neocon War Caucus has cost us too much fighting endless wars.
Paul’s comments came after the two Republican lawmakers broke with Trump following the White House announcement that Turkey would be “moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria” and that U.S. troops “will no longer be in the immediate area.”

I think if we just wait there will be a war here. The totally lost what little minds Democrats will try to take our guns and then ouch for a civil war. So hold on to your shorts and leave the Middle East alone for right now even though they need a beating. There will be plenty of time later.
