On behalf of a war criminal. Nice.

Pence appears to be transitioning into the presidency and Trump is in a rage on all fronts.
Which is why over the weekend Trump decided to bigfoot the Navy on the advice of Barr and the Federalists citing their Unitary Executive Theory.
Pence was trotted out in front of the press on Saturday while he was on his way to meet with US soldiers in Iraq.
Pence had a simple message to deliver.
He told us that even though Trump wants all US troops to be removed from Syria and the greater Middle East, it was not going to happen any time soon.
One reason was because the US has occupied Syrian oil fields and is selling Syrian oil on the open market so we needed to keep 1000 US troops in Syria to help the Kurds maintain control of the oil fields.
For their efforts the Kurds will be given a cut of the action.
Pence is a first-class con-man and putz who, like Trump, is unfit for office.
