The United States said Friday it would protect its personnel in Syria after the U.S. military carried out air strikes against Iran-backed forces in retaliation for an attack that killed an American contractor and wounded five U.S. troops. newsmax.com/newsfront/syri…

@NEWSMAX Do we really need any military bases in Syria?

@NEWSMAX After bailing out the people that are bombing them ?!

@NEWSMAX I do not trust one single word these folks say. It’s sad that us, the taxpayers can’t get real truth from the people we supposedly employ. 🙄

@NEWSMAX Yeah I knew we were still in Syria but I'm tired of these foreign wars.

@NEWSMAX Why are we in Syria? Let me guess CIA is training Freedom fighters and providing arms and logistical support. ICYMI Russia is in firm control of Syria with the blessing of their government. Now millions of displaced Syrians throughout Europe, Those unintended consequences.

@NEWSMAX You mean the way they protected their personnel in Afghanistan?

@NEWSMAX Call in the defense contractors !!!! Martinis all around. Graham is buying.

@NEWSMAX It is so comforting to the families of the American casualties.
