 @SecPompeo :"State Department teams are on the ground working to convince Pres. @Erdogan, Turkey, that the invasion is not appropriate, that, as the President said, it's a bad thing"


Turkey's Erdogan says "We will not stop the military operation against Kurdish militants in northern Syria no matter what anyone says."

 "We are not there to divide Syria, not to disintegrate, we have been there to protect the law of all those who live there.

 "Our anti-terrorism operations in northern Iraq and Syria never target these countries' territorial integrity and sovereignty rights"

SDF positions in northeastern Syria "very weak" against Turkey-backed forces, per SDF Gen. Mazloum Kobani Abdi, speaking thru translator on a teleconference. He describes the situation as "frustrating.We trusted the security mechanism sponsored by the United States"

Syrian Kurds put their lives on the line to defeat ISIS because they trusted America. This president broke that trust. He betrayed our allies and our values, and people will die because of it. The world deserves an American president who can be trusted.

Syrian Observatory says the death toll of the Syrian Democratic Forces due to the Turkish operation is about 100

SDF estimates it is holding 12,500 ISIS fighters in prisons across Syria, 50% in areas being targeted by Turkey. "We don't have the time to be relocating them" per Gen Mazloum Abdi "Protecting the prisons became a secondary issue for us. It is not a priority for us any more"

SDF "very worried" US will withdraw forces from Kobani, following pullback from Rasal Ayn and Tal Abyad in Syria per SDF Gen Abdi.

I joined Nashville’s awesome Kurdish community, the largest in the country, as they spoke out against the withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria. We are already seeing the disastrous effect of the president’s betrayal of our Kurdish allies.

Senator Tom Carper@SenatorCarper : Like so many Americans, I am outraged by the President’s decision to turn his back on our Kurdish allies who have, over the years, fought bravely alongside U.S. troops to help defeat ISIS and stabilize the region. This is beyond bad foreign policy. This is a moral failing.

WATCH: @RichardEngel on what it’s like to watch the Kurds under attack: “It’s a stain on American history to have an ally that is then betrayed. But the real frightening part is this could just be the beginning.” #inners
