Baghdadi’s death underscores what we’ve lost by abandoning Syria’s Kurds
"The killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is great news for the civilized world," writes Brett McGurk, CISAC's Payne Distinguished Lecture in the Washington Post. "The raid deep into northwestern Syria speaks once again to the incredible professionalism of the U.S. Special Forces and the intelligence analysts who help target their operations. The details of this operation speak as well to larger truths about Syria — and to what we have forfeited with the sudden U.S. retreat across its northeast this month."
