[quote]A [b]GOP congressman and Air Force veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan said Friday President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria puts the US in a "far weaker" position in the region.[/b]

"[b]We ceded, effectively, Syria over to Russia and Turkey[/b]. They are the major players there now, and Iran. So when they get together, are they going to basically carve out Syria for themselves? That's a question, and that's a concern I have. So ceasefire in and of itself, good, but a ceasefire that says now, basically, the Kurds have to evacuate, they have to get out, de facto gives Turkey what they wanted through military objectives, and [b]we still have abandoned our allies[/b]," Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said in an interview on CNN's "Newsroom" with Jim Sciutto.[b] "We had to bomb our own military base for God's sakes. It reminds me of Somalia and South Vietnam. It's disheartening, and I think the impact isn't even being felt yet."[/b]

"I think over the next decade especially, but even the next few years, the impact to when we need allies now and in the future, is going to be felt," Kinzinger continued. [b]"Leaving is one thing, but leaving in the way we did, in a hurry ... unbelievable."[/b][/quote]

Are we winning yet?[/quote]
