Senator Lindsey Graham has been meeting with President Trump to help him organize a plan for any withdrawal from Syria. He says the President has assured him that he won’t withdraw the troops until ISIS is permanently destroyed; Iran doesn’t fill in the vacuum; and the Kurds are protected.
I learned a lot from President @realDonaldTrump about our efforts in Syria that was reassuring. (1/3)

The President will make sure any withdrawal from Syria will be done in a fashion to ensure:
1) ISIS is permanently destroyed.
2) Iran doesn’t fill in the back end, and
3) our Kurdish allies are protected.

CNN tried to say Obama pulled out of Iraq with a status of forces agreement and Graham called him on it. “No, that’s a bunch of bullshit. Pardon my French. That’s a complete lie.”
CNN’s Dana Bash on Obama pulling out of Iraq: “But he did it because there was a status of forces agreement with Iraq, right?”

It’s very suspicious that Graham has changed his opinion on Syria. There cannot be much Graham has learned that he did not already know. He is not credible.
