Under Trump we've essentially annihilated them. Don't get your question.

Except for the thousands held in Kurd-run prison camps. The ones who will be back in action shortly. And if they start re-establishing their caliphate? Who stops them?

Just think, for about $5,000 worth of hand grenades dropped into the cells these Vermin are imprisoned in this problem could be permanently solved. Instead, they will probably be be released and 75% of them will rejoin the fight, killing hundreds and hundreds of civilians of every description. I say up the budget to $150,000 and pay some Dirtbag over there to machine gun all of them.

Who gets blamed?

The ISIS fighters, of course.

Everybody want to US to stay out of their business, right? Fine, stay out of their business.

They started with less than a few hundred and now there are 10,000 in captivity. 10,000 is not “essentially annihilated”. That’s not counting the thousands which are actively fighting in small groups in places like Libya. They could reconstitute in a heartbeat left alone.

The ideology of *slam is all that’s needed for IS to reappear. IS is just another group that’s trying to do what it says in the “holy” book.

As long as the ideology exists, there will be fanatical followers.

It doesn’t matter the name, raghead nut jobs will always “come back”. They never left since 623 A.D..

Exactly.

Unless we commit the largest genocide in history, they will always come back.

The problem is particularly acute with regard to the estimated 2,500 foreign fighters -- the majority of them holding European passports -- and their dependents who abandoned their home countries for fight for ISIS.

If someone leaves the country on positive business or pleasure, it seems the U. S. should expend an effort to help them if they get in trouble somehow unfairly. If they go places to do things that are of a problematic nature, fight against the U. S. or our allies interests, that doesn't hold true > IMO.

As for European nation's citizens, it would seem the same should hold true. You went out recklessly, got yourself in trouble, and have now been caught. You sit in detention somewhere. Sorry. You made our bed.

People, actions have consequences. Think before you do dumb stuff.

Since ISIS is per se a threat to America and America’s interests, we have every right to go in and wipe them out. Again, as long as we have the will, the focus, and superior might, we will crush them as we have in the past. Under Trump we have all those things. Still not sure what you’re puzzled about.

With McNoName down for the dirtnap, Obama out of office and the Clinton Foundation under scrutiny can ISIS come back?

It takes more than psychopathic trigger pullers out for rape and torture games to make a Caliphate.

OK, so Trump has contained them. He has made them essentially a non-issue since Obama who let them be a daily threat to America and her interests.

If they try to come back while Trump is President, I have no doubt Trump will crush them.

No blame. Just the realization that the greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective has been around for about 1400 years and civilization has not figured out what to do with it. Jihad continues apace. Long war.

The U.S.A. had a countervailing philosophy and took peak civilization (individual rights endowed by a creator) as far as it could before coming under heavy attack from within.

To be continued...

That’s the proper and permanent solution but imagine the weeping and wailing that would follow. The same solution would solve the border problem kill a few thousand they will stop coming.

We did assist in getting rid of ISIS in more ways than one.

THAT was the goal....not keeping the Kurds and Turks from clobbering each other.

And how in the world to we attack another NATO country. No different than attacking France or Germany. I can't settle that in my head.

Being Trump said “ We will round up all of the Isis prisoners that escaped “ at the Dallas rally makes me wonder, did we chip all of the prisoners?
