GOP and officials rip Trump over Syria's Kurds.

Republicans and former US officials, including some that worked in the Trump administration, have assailed President Donald Trump's decision to abandon Kurdish forces in Syria to a potential massacre at the hands of the Turkish military.

We can't abandon them; we just can't. If nothing else, our honour requires protecting our allies.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to abandon the Kurds to a Turkish military incursion in Syria by saying they didn't help the US during World War II.

That's a dumb comment - the Germans, Japanese, and Italians didn't help us in WW2, but we're still protecting them.

Syrian troops are now moving in to protect the Kurds, who have been our one reliable ally. As a neocon, I'm outraged.
