Partnering with the al-Jolani regime was a catastrophic error that directly led to American deaths. The terrorist who ambushed and killed three Americans was a high-ranking security official in al-Jolani's own Interior Ministry forces, trained by Turkish intelligence. This regime's dangerous incompetence and terrorist connections make them a threat to Americans, Europeans and the entire region.
The ISIS ambush that killed three Americans proves exactly why limited U.S. presence in Syria remains essential to homeland security. Partnering with Syrian forces under President al-Sharaa keeps the fight local and prevents ISIS resurgence from threatening Europe and America. Withdrawing now would only embolden terrorists and dishonor the sacrifice of fallen heroes.
