Seems the big debate in the middle east is how to manage Iran moving in and threatening Israel, and the US troops are in Syria to block Iran taking over.
Maybe a better approach to keep everyone happy is to slap on the sanctions on Iran and deal with them like NK until they collapse, and at the same time, dock a few aircraft carrier strike groups at Haifa permanently for the foreseeable future. Iran ain't lobbing missiles at Israel while we're stationed there.
This gets the US troops out of Syria. And Russia can have their playground.
If anyone knows Bolton see if he would go with the idea?
