Gabriella
Munoz at the Washington Times reports on former Navy SEAL and Congressman-elect
Dan Crenshaw’s Washington Post op-ed that calls on President Trump to
stay the course in Syria.
Rep-elect.
Dan
Crenshaw, a former Navy Seal, cautioned President Trump
against following through on his plan to pull troops out of Syria.
In a Washington Post op-ed published Friday, the Texas Republican argued
there is one key reason troops should remain in Syria.
“We go there so they don’t
come here,” he wrote. “There is a common misconception that if we just let them
fight their own wars they will leave us alone.”
Mr.
Crenshaw argued that terrorist organizations will always
target the U.S., but preventing attacks does nothing to stem the “cascade
effect of instability and chaos” created by a power vacuum if Americans leave.
