GOP senators Graham, Rubio rap US pullout from Syria

Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio denounce the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw American troops from Syria.

Graham, on Twitter, calls the decision “a huge Obama-like mistake.”

“With all due respect, ISIS is not defeated in Syria, Iraq, and after just returning from visiting there — certainly not Afghanistan,” he tweets.

Trump “is right to want to contain Iranian expansion. However, withdrawal of our forces in Syria mightily undercuts that effort and put our allies, the Kurds at risk,” adds Graham.

Rubio calls it a “grave error with broader implications beyond just the fight against ISIS.”
