Anti-Trump Syria Envoy Now Admits Successors Should Follow Trump Foreign Policy

A formerly “Never Trump” Syria envoy who admitted to lying to the President about the number of American troops in Syria now insists his successors should follow his approach to the Middle East. “Trump’s administration, he said, has looked at the Middle East through a geostrategic lens and kept its focus on Iran, Russia, and China, while keeping the metastatic “disease” of Islamist terror in check,” the former Syria envoy noted.

What Do Bush, Walker, and Graham Have Against Christians in Syria?

Jeb Bush’s August 11th speech at the Reagan Presidential Library laid out a six-point blueprint for driving the remaining Christians out of Syria — unintentionally, perhaps, but effectively nonetheless.  Each element of his plan for Syria was contrary to the interests of those beleaguered Christians.  A point-by-point discussion of the plan and its defects is published here.  Scott Walker gave a decidedly less substantive speech on the same subject at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., on August 28th, which also embraced policies contrary to the interests of Syria’s Christians. By way of background, the Christian population of Syria was roughly two million
