but the basic thing is i think to a certain extent the president changed his mind again. when secretary mattis was there, he said we're pulling out. secretary mattis said i'm out of here. then he says we're pulling out. he gets more criticism and now all of a sudden, well, we're not quite out yet. so i don't know what the composition is, christi, but it certainly appears to me that the president has changed his mind and we're going to stay in certain areas of northern syria. >> you know, sir, it's not just that he changed his mind, he changed the makeup of the force. when you start using mechanized units here, that's a different kind of fight you're anticipating. >> not necessarily, martin. and the secretary of defense was very elliptical about that. i certainly hope it includes artillery and motortars, but th exact composition we don't really know but it will be a lethal, lethal package out
