EXCERPT:
EOYANG: "Look, I think it’s important that the President goes and visits the troops, but he’s doing this backwards. His decision to pull out of Syria when the fight against ISIS is not quite finished, close, but not quite, and then going to visit the troops after that. Typically what you would want is a president to go out to visit the troops, see what’s going on on the ground, have conversations with his generals, actually meet with his secretary of defense instead of slamming the door on him, and then make a decision about what the right thing is to do here. Instead, he’s done this all backwards. In fact, the way he’s done this, even if it is the right decision ultimately, the way that he’s done it will cause more chaos in the region, because it’s a precipitous withdrawal, not coordinating with our allies.”
