Apparently not, as the WaComPost will only say “claims”. What? They can’t verify it? They print rumors and innuendo of President Trump with no verification...
Trump did this in 4 months!
The Free Syrian Army is not what it seems. They are a conglomerate of special forces from dozens of nations.
We, along with our gulf allies, have changed the way we fight wars. Technology and small, composite units are winning.
Considering the trained-chimp press thinks Hillary is the President, they probably would extend that credit to POTUS.
Hussein is deeply saddened.
They’ll give it to Obama......................
Meanwhile the MSM will be fixating on Trump taking away NBCs license...
Remember, when Obozo and his perfumed princes and princesses in the Pentagon were telling us it would take decades to eliminate Isis?
Of course the Russians are too busy establishing themselves, Hezbollah and Iran's military in the region, and setting up for the end times scenario. Maybe the reason the US is not mentioned in Bible prophecy is because we have been taken out by the socialist and communist agents, or a natural disaster?
Of course their are others who believe that the US and its allies are Ephraim in prophecy, and that Judah actually fills its bow with Ephraim to defeat its invaders.
Time will tell.
This was the last city of note that ISIS held. After this their remaining strongholds would naturally drop quicker - but it is starting to look like ISIS going to stop fighting to the death, and run for it. Relatively large numbers have begun to surrender.
Deir ez Zour is almost as big as Raqqa was (~200K before the war), but is already surrounded and partially liberated by the Russians/Syrians/Iranians. There is nothing much left after that would hold a population over 50,000 - basically Mayadin and abu Kamal, and then just a bunch or rural villages/hamlets.
ISIS has taken so many losses of fighters, and lost so many leaders at so many levels, that they should be coming apart. Virtually no replacements are coming for ISIS. Their oil revenues and taxes are gone, they cut off from Turkey for re-supply and running out of ammo.
Full collapse could come at any time, but over this Winter is most likely, even if the fight to the last.
Some rump will remain, as well as their brand name, to form some undercover terrorist/guerrilla group - but the Caliphate is in its death throes.
Trump did in eight months what obama failed to do in eight years:

“Much of the city now lies in ruins”
I argued for B-52 strikes to level Raqqa over 2 years ago.
We finally got around to it, far too late in my opinion.
The enemy had a capital city. It should have been leveled from day 1.
