Videos Confirm Hundreds Of American Troops Exiting Syria<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The New York Times confirmed Thursday that the Pentagon has begun withdrawing hundreds of troops from Syria but will leave over 1,000 in the country for the time being<\/strong>,\u00a0following\u00a0prior reports<\/a>\u00a0from earlier in the week<\/p>\n

This means the occupation will be significantly reduced, but will still be fundamentally in place<\/strong>, in the vicinity of Syria’s only oil and gas production sites which historically met the population’s domestic needs. “The United States has started drawing down hundreds of troops from northeastern Syria, a reflection of the shifting security environment in the country since\u00a0the fall of President Bashar al-Assad\u00a0in December, but also a move that carries risks,” says the NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Massive U.S. Army convoys withdraw from Syria, heading toward Iraq.<\/p>\n

The first phase of the U.S. withdrawal from Syria saw around 600 troops pulled out, bringing total troop numbers down to about 1,400.<\/p>\n

US officials told the\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0that three of eight American bases will bring shut down<\/strong>, and that troop levels will be brought down to 1,400 from around 2,000. The Pentagon had for years misled the public on the true numbers of troops there.<\/p>\n

The next phase is planned for 60 days out – that’s when US military commanders and Trump admin officials will newly assess the situation and possibly order another draw down.<\/p>\n

The bases which are being shuttered have been identified as the Mission Support Site Green Village, the MSS Euphrates and a third much smaller facility, according to the Times<\/em> report. Congress has\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0voted on sending troops to Syria, or the enduring occupation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New video footage has confirmed the fresh draw down from northern Syria…<\/p>\n

Syria analyst Charles Lister: “This video from today shows a huge U.S. military disengagement from Deir ez Zour is underway \u2014 with bases at Conoco, Green Village\/Omar being withdrawn to the northeast<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

President Trump during his first administration wanted to see US forces pulled out of Syria, and the situation has drastically changed since then, with the ouster of Assad on December 8 and the Kurdish-Damascus deal for integration. Washington was a prime driver in covert operations pushing for regime change, which began all the way back in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

We reported earlier<\/a> that the US-backed Kurdish-led SDF in eastern and northern Syria recently began\u00a0handing over control\u00a0of some areas in the northern Aleppo province to government forces led al-Qaeda offshoot Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,\u00a0under an integration agreement with Damascus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
