Ive done before. no one knows what that last item is a reference to. and yes, congress quickly piped up, and some members of congress are genuinely outraged, but the difference this time to be candid is that some of them have an r after their names. >> isis is not defeated, the biggest lie being told by the administration that isis is defeated, the caliphate destroyed. no, the caliphate would not have been destroyed. this impulsive decision by the president has undone all the gains weve made, th...

Our successful fight against isis in syria. leaving them to die is a big mistake. liz cheney, the republican congresswoman from wyoming, said withdrawing forces from syria is a catastrophic mistake that puts our gains at risk and threatens national security. terrorists thousands of miles away can and will use their safe havens to launch attacks against america. >> we still have interests there against isis. while the physical caliphate has been destroyed, theyre still recruiting there, they can ...

Organization. thats what turkey is trying to achieve. >> so isis is isolated, the caliphate is destroyed, but what will this do to isis? whats the concern? >> the purpose of the buffer zone is exactly to allow turkey -- has less to do with isis and more to do with turkeys relationship with the kurds and to achieve some standoff, primarily. turkey feels like it can take care of itself. what it doesnt want to have to do is be in a position to have to go after kurds and have an international body t...

Certainly to those kurds who live in northeastern syria weve been in touch with. this comes out of the blue for them. keeping in mind that the kurdish democratic forces were the main allies of the united states, in syria, when it comes to the battle against isis. the white house put out a statement, part of which i will read, saying that the united states forces, having defeated the isis territorial caliphate will no longer be in the immediate area. sate goes on to say, that turkey will now be r...

From guarding isis prisoners overnight so they could fight the turks who are invading right now. which means what? there will be isis prisoners, people who were captain on the move again. >> there are 70,000 isis prisoners in one of the camps not in the zone of what we anticipate to be the turkish operation. so those are going to be released and they are not just prisoners that we would think of them in orange jump suits. all men being in jail. these are families. its a family concentration camp...

Out what youre doing is youre going to allow isis to come back. the caliphate is gone but it wasnt that long ago that they were a real viable threat and by pulling out u.s. troops its going to allow them to come back like from the perspective of all these republicans, happen when the u.s. pulled out too quickly of iraq. its fascinating the way they -- its almost as if they were unloading their impeachment angst on this particular policy decision. >> everybody stand by. theres more news were foll...

The border and he was going to wipe out the kurds who helped us with isis. we took out the caliphate. we have 100% of the caliphate. and i called him and i asked him not to do it. they are, i guess, natural enemies of his or turkey, and he hasnt done it. they were lined up to go out and wipe out the people that we just defeated the isis caliphate with, and i said, you cant do that. and he didnt do it. >> president trump is already getting pushback from within his own party. senator lindsey graha...

Saying u.s. troops are leaving this area. the first images emerging, you see them there, a u.s. convoy pulling up the american flag there at their base. they are moving back. in fact, the white house overnight confirming this in a statement partially saying the u.s. forces having defeated the isis territorial caliphate will no longer be in the immediate area. what is really happening here? turkey says its going to cross the border and try and move these kurdish forces out. now the u.s. saying th...

Caliphate. it was a mess when i came to office. most of you would agree to that. it was a real mess. i took it over. i said what are we going to do with these 60,000-70,000 people that are being held and being guarded and we cant release them and many fighters also? i said i want them to go back to germany. to france. to different european countries from where they came. and i said tow the european countries, i said to one of them take the people back and they said, no, no, no, we dont want them...
