Pathetic.

You know, there is a lot of sunlight between withdrawing in an organized fashion, with all one's allies onboard, and this. What about the 1,000 hardcore ISIS fighters who will undoubtedly vaporize from the scene? No thought needed, apparently.
At the very least, the Kurds deserved a few weeks advance notice to make real plans and execute on them. Telling people to piss off starting tomorrow is criminal, when they are the ones who are going to die. Trump just figures he saved a few million dollars -- his one and only priority.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
