In a lengthy diatribe, Fox News' Brian Kilmeade excoriated Trump's impulsive announcement that the U.S. defeated ISIS and is pulling American troops out of Syria immediately.
Kilmeade: "In a stunning and irresponsible move yesterday the president blindsided his Secretary of Defense, national security advisor --- and decides he's going to immediately evacuate 2000 troops and the State Department is already packing their bags."
Ed Henry jump in saying should anybody in Congress be surprised and Kilmeade said, "yes" "It's totally irresponsible."
Kilmeade: "Nobody thinks that ISIS is defeated. Nobody who understands who was born after 2000, who sees what’s happened after 9/11 ---- "
He continued, "ISIS is there. They are still a factor. They are far from defeated. There's 30,000 there -- "
Brian went on to say that Iran, Turkey and Russia are "elated" over this decision.
Most of Fox News attacked Pres. Obama's red line comments, but Kilmeade actually said that Trump's decision was worse than that.
Yesterday Gen. Jack Keane, who is a Trump favorite, told Fox Business that unless he reconsidered he'd regret it and said, “Russia and our adversaries will look at this not as a victory by the United States, they will look at this as weakness.”
Watch the entire clip.
Henry and Bila were pretty helpless in their defense of Trump.
