And I think Trump did know what was to come and what if my son or daughter were one of the fifty pulled out in advance??? I see both sides of the coin, and he is in the seat of no good options. But fifty Americans are not enough to have made a difference in the face of this operation and would have been a horrible, needless sacrifice if he had not pulled them out...
