Fox News: Hundreds of ISIS supporters escape camp in Syria as Turkish troops approach

About 950 ISIS-connected foreigners managed to leave the camp, located in Ain Eissa, roughly 20 miles south of the border, after detainees apparently attacked the camp's guards and gates and fled, the Kurdish-led administration said in a statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said Turkish warplanes struck villages near the camp on Sunday. They didn't provide the exact number of residents who fled the camp, but said clashes broke out between Turkey-backed Syrian fighters and Kurdish forces.
The Kurdish forces, who partnered with the U.S. in the fight against ISIS, say they may not be able to maintain detention facilities holding thousands of militants as they struggle to stem the Turkish advance. The Trump administration has been criticized for abandoning the Kurds, who have been steadfast allies in the five-year-long fight against the ISIS terror group.

Turkey launched an operation to carve out a "safe zone" along the border earlier this week after President Trump moved U.S. forces aside, saying he was committed to getting out of America's "endless" wars.
And then Crooked donnie commits troops to Saudi Arabia, republican/deporable circle logic at it's finest.
Trump's abrupt unilateral decision to pull US forces out of Syria has handed ISIS a new lease on life, and handed a major victory to Syria's Assad, Turkey's Erdogan, Iran, and Russia. Note that all of these are our adversaries, and he managed to make them all happy, all in one move.
Perhaps is he is a master negotiator!

ISIS members escaped? Well gee, who didn't see this coming thanks to the bonehead in the oval office.
ISIS is cheering Trump, and plans to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Well, as I've said elsewhere, if Arafat got it, even Hitler could have qualified.
What no special thanks to Britain and France for pulling their forces out of Syria as well? They were supposed to take over once we left. The US leaving was no damn surprise to anyone outside of our those who hadn't been listening for the past two damn years.
In case anyone missed it the French and British special forces pulled back when we did. Funny how no one is calling them out. No US to do the heavy lifting and our "allies" wimp out.
Funny how no Trump supporter can seem to acknowledge that our pullout was the first domino that caused the ensuing chain reaction.
NONE OF THIS MESS NEEDED TO HAPPEN!
…."Trump.. Making ISIS Great Again!"
Sadly this is only the start.
This is all on Crooked donnie's head
With the execution of the first Kurdish citizen, imo it makes Trump a war criminal.
Your opinion means nothing under international law.
The first Kurdish citizen executed the Turks, their rebel jihadist allies, and the Kurds are all at fault. The Kurds aren't the innocent darlings the US media has portrayed them to be.
Also, catch up on the news. The Kurds got over their US remorse real damn quick and made peace with the Syrian government. Syrian troops are headed to the front to help battle the Turks. Want to place bets on the Russians playing peacemaker in the background.
Which would have happened along time ago if Obama wouldn't have butted into Syria illegally using the "War on Terror" and held out the false hope of Assad getting removed. But you know, Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!
Well gee, executing two Kurds who had their hands tied behind them is soooooooo brave of those ahole Turks. Yeah Truruuuuuuummmmmmmmmppppp. Their blood is on his hands. Get over it. He totally screwed the pooch on this one. Obama has nothing to do with this. This is all Trump.
I said it was my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Buh bye.
The only thing trump has made great again is ISIS.
If I still had a car I would so get your comment made into a bumper sticker.
What's the surprise? Everyone knew this would happen.
Except the man with the "great, infinite wisdom".
