A short time ago, Vice-President Mike Pence and Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo made an announcement that a “peace” had been brokered with
Turkey over the conflict in Syria. Trump
immediately gave an impromptu talk regarding this news calling the ceasefire an
“incredible outcome.”
When asked to comment on Trump’s reaction, Rep. Chrissy
Houlahan said:
Our president declared victory in a
war that, as far as we can tell, he caused. Also declared success and reveling
in the fact that he just successfully negotiated a peace settlement with an
ally of ours, a NATO ally of ours. And also effectively declared mission
accomplished in something that appears, by all accounts, to be only a five-day
pause.
And if I have seen one thing about the way we progress in wars in this nation and around the world, nothing is accomplished when it's apparently accomplished.
Interestingly the Turkish Foreign Minister said “This is not
a ceasefire.”
