Matt Gaetz has introduced a resolution requiring President Biden to withdraw all troops from Syria after Gaetz says Biden lied about how many troops were left in the region.
Rep. Matt Gaetz's response after DOJ charges dropped: The left told these lies because I’m effective.R-Fla., is pushing his colleagues in the House for a vote on whether the U.S. should keep forces in Syria after reports that four U.S. service members were wounded in Syria last week, long after Biden said there were no U.S. troops in that country.
"And it strikes me as a powder keg for very dangerous escalation," he added."And as we find ourselves here in 2023, we ought to ask ourselves, ‘Do we really want to continue the Obama-era policy of engaging in a Syrian civil war?’ I don't think we should."Gaetz, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, filed the resolution following a Feb. 17 report from U.S. Central Command that four U.S. service members were wounded during a U.S.
"I’ve heard reports as recently as today from people who've spent time in the Syria theater, indicating that Russian and U.S. personnel get into very close proximity to one another, close enough to take photos and wave," Gaetz said of potential escalation in the region. "If Joe Biden wants to keep U.S. troops in the Syrian conflict, he should have to explain to us why, what the goal is and what winning looks like."
