Troops Trump said he's bringing home were sent to Iraq, who gave them 4 weeks to leave.

First Trump tweets the wrong name of his SecDef.


Then he deletes the tweet and fixes the name. He also removed the "troops coming home bit".


Esper said that the 1,000 or-so troops in Northern Syria will be relocated to Iraq.

While Trump has insisted he’s bringing home Americans from “endless wars” in the Mideast, Esper said all U.S. troops leaving Syria will go to western Iraq and the American military will continue operations against the Islamic State group.

The troops aren’t coming home and the United States isn’t leaving the turbulent Middle East, according to plans outlined by Esper before he arrived in Afghanistan on Sunday.

US troops withdrawing from northeastern Syria to Iraq are “transiting” and will leave the country within four weeks, Iraq’s defense minister said Wednesday.

So, they're coming home, just after a 4 week transition period?

That’s what I read. Are we both missing something?

I’m willing to bet the Esper thing was autocorrect error since it JUST HAPPENED TO ME!

Perhaps, just perhaps, lets get them out of Syria as soon as possible, send them into Iraq (not like they owe us anything), then we can work on an orderly plan to get them home,,,,,,,,

Probably exactly that. However, I'm gonna push the theory that it was an obtuse dig at Mittens and his alias Twitter account.

Geez. I couldn't believe it at first. Pierre Delecto.
THAT, plus having a sock puppet in the first place.

Give us your twitter feed so we can nitpick too.
