Depends. The point is, we CAN and WILL defeat ISIS if they decide to come back.

These Islamist Jihadists rattle the sword and kill, but when faced focused and determined force, as they did initially in Afghanistan right after 9-11, they run into their caves shaking in fear.

Trump’s point which is absolutely valid, is whatever country is benefiting from our efforts, must pay the price also, not just us.

Again, the point is ISIS is defeatable and WILL be defeated one way or the other. Trump has shown they can and will be crushed. But Trump holds back because the benefiting country must also pay the price.

But if all else fails, Trump and any good President, will go after and crush these murderers, one way or the other. As long as these ISIS Islamist Jihadists understand this, they will be afraid to try to come back, like they were afraid when Bush at first delivered a focused, powerful attack on the Islamist Jihadists in Afghanistan.

They’d be stupid to not be afraid because otherwise they WILL be killed.

Why would anyone take ISIS prisoners?

They did not do it in the 1st place because the Obama regime jumped in the way to make sure they did not.

You really have no clue at all about the weapons and money we dumped into Syria that ended up arming ISIS do you? Amazing how the facts on Syria have been totally ignored by our "journalists".

Ever wonder why the O regime did nothing to stop ISIS selling oil out of Syria? Why the 0's regimes rules of engagement specifically prevents bombing oil shipments or oil wells?

0-Clinton-McCain etc were morons trying to “regime change” in Syria.

Remember all the bombast at the 2015 debates where both Democrat, and Republican, candidates where trying to out macho each other on a No Fly Zone against Russia in Syria? If any of that “thinking” had been made policy we would of been in a shooting war with Russia over Syria now.

Here is an article for you. To give you some background on the topic

If Bush I never invaded Iraq quite possibly 9/11 never happens thus the rest of the sh*t storm which is now the Mideast. Even Bush II/Iraq II was a event that spun everything upside down as Obama the King of ISIS and the ISIS Queen Clinton and Jester McCain p*ssed gasoline on it after. At this point,let it burn and keep a close eye out.

Only morons run around trying to decide who to blame, rather than addressing he problem.

They won’t in the same capability previously. The US state department and the Obama administration created, funded, armed, protected ... ISIS. They were created to kill governments Obama and Hillary didn’t like or had things they wanted to steel. It is that simple. The couldn’t have existed without the USA citizens paying and protecting them via the corrupt Fed Gov.

Simple answer is we are to blame. Had them all I. One jail and we should have bombed the crap out of it. To hell with judicial process.

We crushed them last time with the assistance of 60,000 Kurdish fighters backed up with a few hundred U.S. soldiers in support.

WE assisted THEM. Not they assisted us. It’s their backyard, not ours. If they sent troops to the US to fight terrorists on our soil, then they would be helping us.

Shoot the ISIS prisoners. They should have done that when captured.

I think Bush I had a legitimate reason for coming to the aid of Kuwait.

Bush’s I & II were stupid socialists and Bush II especially blew it in the Middle East, but don’t kid yourself, Jihad and Worldwide Islamic Supremacy has been around a long time and is escalating rapidly in these last days. Bush isn’t the reason for that. Bush didn’t activate UBL.

They still did most of the fighting and dying in destroying the ISIS caliphate. They won't make that mistake again. So who does it for us next time.
