Just the News<\/a> posted an article (updated today) that clearly illustrates why we need another four years of President Trump. The swamp is deep and wide and has undercut President Trump since the day he began\u00a0 his campaign for President.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

James Jeffrey\u2014who is\u00a0retiring from his posts as the Special Representative for Syria Engagement and Special Envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS \u2014 reportedly said\u00a0that “shell games”\u00a0have been used to avoid telling U.S. leaders the true number of American troops in Syria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,\u201d Jeffrey said, according to Defense One<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeffrey reportedly said that when President Donald Trump was interested in withdrawing from Syria, arguments against a withdrawal\u00a0were presented to the commander in chief.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Syria withdrawal? There was never a Syria withdrawal,\u201d Jeffrey told the outlet. \u201cWhen the situation in northeast Syria had been fairly stable after we defeated ISIS, [Trump] was inclined to pull out. In each case, we then decided to come up with five better arguments for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. That\u2019s the story.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The president last year officially agreed to maintain some troops in Syria, according to Defense One.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Jeffrey in 2016 prior to the presidential election signed onto an anti-Trump letter<\/a> with other individuals\u00a0who had previously served under Republican administrations, Defense One noted that Jeffrey’s advice for the Biden administration is to persist in the course set by President Trump’s team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone who was involved in this scam who is still working for the government needs to be fired. Mr. Jeffrey needs to lose his government pension. This is not acceptable behavior. The people who are elected get to make the decisions and the un-elected bureaucrats do not. It’s that simple. Un-elected bureaucrats have a responsibility to provide our elected officials with accurate information. Those who neglect that responsibility need to be fired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
