(Worthy News) - President Trump vowed U.S. troops are "not going into Syria," during an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that is set to air Wednesday.

The commander in chief's promise comes days after he ordered 59 Tomahawk missiles be launched at a Syrian air base where Bashar Assad had stored chemical weapons that were used in a recent attack on Syria citizens who oppose the regime.

Instead, Trump looked back at the Obama administration's foreign policy and said his predecessor could have taken action against Assad earlier to prevent these continued attacks. [ Source ]

What he means is that we are not going to get embroiled in a land war like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So, basically he is saying that he will keep the numbers low so not to appear as an invasive force.   I can understand that.  He should express himself better so people are not misled or others can't point to his words and call him a liar.  To say US Troops are not going to Syria is misleading as we have some there already.  How we chose to express ourselves or declare an event sets the atmosphere in how it will be accepted.

I'm pretty sure that was never his intent...was more likely just saber rattling just to let the world, especially north Korea know he means business.

Yes, that is what I was thinking, as well.   He is not the most precise in how he expresses himself and that gets confusing at times.

This seems like a contradiction to his campaign Rhetoric where he claimed he would not play his cards like this in advance.
