Kansas, Missouri Lawmakers Want Troops Home, But Are Wary Of Withdrawal From Syria

Kansas and Missouri lawmakers on both sides of the party lines said they don't support President Donald Trump's sudden announcement that he would withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.

U.S. Rep. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, told KCUR he has concerns that this could leave the Middle East in a compromised position.

"You whack a mole in the head and another mole pops up. That's what's going to happen with ISIS going forward," Marshall said. "So my question for the president, the security council and the Pentagon is how are we going to continue to control terrorists?"

He added that he's "warming up to the concepts better today than I was yesterday, as the president has shared more of his plans with us."

Before making the announcement, Trump tweeted Wednesday that ISIS had been defeated.
