I heard yesterday an interview given earlier in the year, I did not catch the man's name...he was military...but he said the goal was to train enough troops there to step back to just overseeing the events in Syria.  He said at that time they were maybe 20% along with the training and would need a few years to get it up to the point where we could feel safe removing our troops.

I am for pulling back on policing the world.  But I also have to question the suddenness of the decision.  And it must have been sudden for members of his own party leadership (and some within the military) to question where the decision came from.
