before Trump’s proclamation, military and diplomatic officials had spoken for months about the need for a long-term military commitment in Syria.
At virtually the same time Trump was speaking Tuesday, his top commander in the Middle East and his top diplomat overseeing the international anti-ISIS coalition were across town delivering a different message.
“A lot of very good military progress has been made over the last couple of years, but the hard part, I think, is in front of us,” U.S. Central Command chief Gen. Joseph Votel said at a United States Institute of Peace event. “And that is stabilizing these areas, consolidating our gains, getting people back into their homes, addressing the long-term issues of reconstruction and other things that have to be done."
Before he was fired, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson delivered a speech, reportedly approved by Trump, that argued for a long-term military presence to ensure ISIS does not re-emerge, counter Iranian influence and keep the territory stable until a diplomatic process leads to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s removal.

He said 8 months ago that he wanted to pullout. He was slammed for 'telegraphing' the strategy...
Pompeo, Bolton & Mattis have since announced that the US will stay until the Iranians leave. Seems like they just got overruled.
