Just a few days ago the plan was for the U.S. to retain control of oil and gas fields in eastern Syria and the Al Tanf base in the south. Everyone wins - except for people in Syria.

It appears that the conflict in Syria is about to get even more FUBAR, if that was even possible.

I was surprised to see this in the WashPost.
