We could execute all of them. Problem solved.

The people we're abandoning hold the prisoners. We don't.

I guess they figure out what to do with them then. Maybe Turkish bombs will settle that.

We'll see how it plays out. I'm not for abandoning allies. Problem here is they're both allies. Seems Trump's told Turkey there will be consequences if the they jump in. So we're to stay forever? The anti-war crowd is now pro war because they're anti Trump? TDS is very real.

Right. Daddy will destroy the Turkish economy on twitter.

We're there. People can argue about whether we should have been there, but that's the fact. As Colin Powell said to W about our military adventures, "You break it, you bought it."

And Simone has to yet us out. Short of executing 60k Isis trash there isn't much we can do. They'll be let go eventually and will go back to raping and pillaging. That's why they make drones.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know how you gals would be howling if a Democrat had ever done anything this reckless.

Welp. It was the toothless recklessness that got us in there in the first place, so there’s that.

And it would only take a WaPo or NYT article on how the poor ISIS were being abused in captivity for your team to demand release of them anyway.

But Trumps the bad guy. Not the country invading.

You're not really conversant in the facts of this situation, obviously.

Trusting Turkey with the ISIS fighters seems foolish as hell. Their "ally" status is always day to day.

That said, "Fighting between various groups that has been going on for hundreds of years. USA should never have been in Middle East" is as true as anything any American politician has said in years.

I don't love this move but I don't pretend to know what the best thing.

Fuck the Middle East.

The status quo wasn’t getting civilians bombarded by a modern military.

Poor Turkey. Now Daddy, in his infinite wisdom, is going to destroy their economy.

Wtf is the status quo in the Middle East? Pre Trump? Pre US intervention?

I don’t know how anyone could even pretend to know what the status quo in the Middle East looks like, other than war and bloodshed.

Been that way forever and worse since mooselimbdom.

I’m not sure it’s actually any worse under Islam.

It’s been jacked forever, probably will be jacked forever.

As one who thought it was a neat idea to make the Middle East safe for democracy I eventually came to the same conclusion

Leaving our troops as targets is a stupid plan that the left used to agree with me on

I took a tremendous amount of shit for backing the endless wars.
