Seth Moulton: I’m Not Sure if Trump Knows What He’s Doing on Syria

‘What we ought to talk about is what is the strategic plan for Syria’

EXCERPT:

MOULTON: "Well, it's -- it's -- it's fine if we don’t do anything more. But what we ought to talk about is what is the strategic plan for Syria. The reality is we have troops on the ground there right now. And I am not sure they know exactly what they are doing. When I've gone and talk to some of the troops who are fighting in Syria, as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I asked them, what comes next? What are you fighting to achieve? They don't seem to know. And you know, I -- look, I was in the Iraq war. I didn't agree with the Iraq war. But when I went out on patrol every night, I knew what the plan was. I knew the Iraqi government that I was supporting and I knew that if we make that Iraqi government successful, we could eventually go home. I don’t think there's any plan like that in Syria right now and it's not fair to our troops."
