President Obama won't claim victory of the Islamic State. But in tonight's State of the Union he will say that he (or "American leadership") is "stopping" its "advance."
"In Iraq and Syria, American leadership – including our military power – is stopping ISIL’s advance," Obama will say, according to excerpts released by the White House. "Instead of getting dragged into another ground war in the Middle East, we are leading a broad coalition, including Arab nations, to degrade and ultimately destroy this terrorist group. We’re also supporting a moderate opposition in Syria that can help us in this effort, and assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism. This effort will take time. It will require focus. But we will succeed. And tonight, I call on this Congress to show the world that we are united in this mission by passing a resolution to authorize the use of force against ISIL."
Here are the rest of the excerpts released ahead of tonight's prime time address:
“We are fifteen years into this new century. Fifteen years that dawned with terror touching our shores; that unfolded with a new generation fighting two long and costly wars; that saw a vicious recession spread across our nation and the world. It has been, and still is, a hard time for many.
But tonight, we turn the page.”

Cynically I observe that once victory is attained advance stops.

Love that song.
My fav Seger song is “Hollywood Nights” - and back in the day I lived in H’wood and met “that” same girl. Absolute nightmare!
It must be opposite day.

Never, ever advance across the shifting red line.

You cannot stop ISIS without foot soldiers. He has been losing ground measured in land area of Iraq and Syria.
