You must have missed the parts of the campaign where Trump promised to destroy ISIS. This plan was being worked prior to his taking office. After the election, he could have said, “No, I’m not going to destroy ISIS. That’s not my policy. That’s a neo-con one. I’m going to partner with Putin and wait until he finally starts to attack ISIS.” Or he could go after ISIS at their center of gravity destroying their image in the Muslim world as invincible force. Fortunately, he and the incoming military leadership, like SECDEF Mattis, strengthened the plan and are going in for the kill. People can whine, worry, and wet the bed all they want as if that’s a superior way to destroy an enemy. But when this ends in a few months ISIS will be destroyed as a Calipahate and a organization that owns ground. And POTUS will have kept a promise.
“You must have missed the parts of the campaign where Trump promised to destroy ISIS.”
Nope, I didn’t. I also recall him saying that HRC/Obama created ISIS...ie we covertly funded and armed them and did nothing to stop their sales of oil. Stop covertly funding and arming them. Let the Syrians and Russians (who are invited there) take care of them. Let Syrians have their sovereignty and keep their refugees.
