"If Trump wants to be done with Syria, it might not be done with him."

In the New York Post, Rich Lowry writes in part,
The longstanding American military reflex is to win and go home, but it’s rare that even the most clear-cut victory is so neat.

We won a decisive conventional military victory in World War II in Europe, and we still have troops in Germany.

The first Gulf War is supposed to be the model of a rigorously limited commitment, but it still resulted in a no-fly zone over Iraq, the creation of an autonomous region for the Kurds in the north and a constant effort to enforce UN sanctions.

Nor is getting out as clean as advertised. Obama triumphantly exited Iraq, only to have to go back in when things spun out of control.

If Trump wants to be done with Syria, it might not be done with him.
Read why here.
