LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Victor, I’ve got to get your thoughts though on President Trump's move toward withdrawing U.S. forces from a section in Syria and allowing Turkey to move in, Erdogan’s forces. Now, politicians on both sides of the aisle are calling this a bad move -- endangers our Kurdish allies, they've done so much for us -- but Trump did say he was going to pull our troops out of Syria. The [Authorization for Use of Military Force] from 2001 that was sponsored by [Sen.] Tom Daschle on September 18, 2001, I guess is still authorizing military force in the Middle East, which I'm not wild about. But, what about our Kurd allies? I mean, they put everything on the line for us and our mission.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON (HOOVER INSTITUTION SENIOR FELLOW): I think we’re trying to square a circle because the Kurds are our friends but they’re not our legal allies, and Turks are legal allies but they’re not our friends. So we’re in a dilemma, and we’re in a circular firing squad in Syria where everybody’s shooting at each other. And yet every time we’ve fought in the last 20 or 30 years, the Kurds have been on our side, so I think what we need to do is find a way that's not antithetical to Trump’s agenda -- that is, we’re not going to these optional no-win, no-lose endless wars -- but protect people that have helped us. And I think he can do that, but the problem is that we in the United States are pledged to help independent people -- the Greeks, the Armenians, the Israelis, the Poles, the Kurds -- that are in difficult geographies. We always have. And one of the ironies is throughout history they've often been targeted by whom? The Turks. And yet we come to their aid when it's not in the cost-benefit analysis in our favor. So, I think Trump can find a way, Mike Pompeo’s had great success in Greece reestablishing relations with the Greeks, who are also in the same situation vis a vis Turkey. And I think that's what he's going to have to work on.

INGRAHAM: Yeah. I think it's probably a lot more complicated than people think it is right now.

HANSON: It is. It is.

INGRAHAM: Again, he said he was going to pull us out of these wars. He's doing what he said he was going to do. People voted for that. I think if Congress wants to have another use of military force authorization, they better be voting. That means the squad, AOC, Tlaib -- they should all have to vote for this. That’s my view. Don't dine out on 2001, that's a long time ago.
