The Senate majority leader never mentions President Donald Trump by name in his op-ed for the Washington Post.
LOUISVILLE – Sen. Mitch McConnell has published a stern rebuke of the Trump administration's decision to pull military forces out of Syria, saying the decision"will leave the American people and homeland less safe, embolden our enemies and weaken important alliances."
The longtime Kentucky senator and Senate majority leader also explained three lessons he said he has learned while working with three different administrations since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "These fanatics threaten American interests and American lives. If permitted to regroup and establish havens, they will bring terror to our shores," he said.
"Unfortunately, the administration’s recent steps in Syria do not reflect these crucial lessons," McConnell wrote.
