Ending the Hidden Occupation

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:25 GMT

This week, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., brought forward a war powers resolution, backed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, that would bring U.S. troops home from Syria. On Wednesday night, the resolution was rejected by Democrats and Republicans alike. During the debate, some advocated for an endless occupation, while their arguments unwittingly made the point that the U.S. government may not be the best group to solve the crisis. This week on Deconstructed, Ryan Grim is joined by Robert Ford, who was President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Syria up until 2014. Although he was known inside the White House as a hawkish supporter of arming the Syrian opposition, this week he came out in support of Gaetz’s resolution to pull out U.S. troops. Ford describes some of the political maneuvering and behind-the-scenes conversations taking place in 2013 and why he is calling to remove U.S. troops from Syria.Transcript coming soon.The post Ending the Hidden Occupation appeared first on The Int...

(CNN) — Una semana después de los secuestros violentos de cuatro estadounidenses en México, los investigadores todavía trabajan para reconstruir cómo y por qué se desarrolló el secuestro, incluso después de que un cartel se disculpó por llevar a cabo lo que el padre de una víctima llamó “un crimen sin sentido” que dejó dos estadounidenses y una mujer mexicana muerta.El caso sigue siendo “muy confuso” para los investigadores, que todavía están obteniendo información sobre el secuestro del pasado viernes y considerando todos los ángulos, dijo a CNN un funcionario de la Fiscalía de Tamaulipas familiarizado con la investigación.Aunque las autoridades no han nombrado públicamente a ningún sospechoso, el Cartel del Golfo, que se cree que es responsable de los secuestros, emitió este jueves una carta de disculpa y el grupo entregó a cinco de sus miembros a las autoridades locales, según imágenes que circulan en línea y una versión de la carta obtenida por CNN ...
