Note from ISIS to everyone: We’ll be baaaack!!

On a different note, whether in northern Syria or Iraq the ones to really thank are the Kurds. Minus the Kurds Iraqi leaders would not now be saying “it’s over”, and ISIS would still be all over northern Syria.

in the 2020 elections Trump will say:

We won back Iraq from the ISIS troops that Obama allowed to take over.

Drove the extremists that were still living from all the territory

Can’t wait for the glorious pro-western documentaries to start airing on the discovery, military and travel channels (as if)

So with ISIS being forcibly removed or at least rendered impotent in Iraq and Syria; this should allow all of the “refugees” and migrants who fled to the west to back to their homelands. We should begin the relocation (return home) assistance process immediately.

"Another Trump promise kept. "

That fact wasn't exactly highlighted by the writer of this article.

Thank Trump and Mad Dog Mattis for removing the handcuffs off the military with the day late, dollar short ROE.

Actually, the clintons were the first to attack Iraq.
They started dropping Tomahawk missiles into downtown Baghdad six months into their co-presidency. They continued to attack Iraq repeatedly.

Once W was elected all that was forgotten.

Hey, yeah! Refugee status should be temporary only. At least it used to be. Now it's just a euphemism to jam more Dem voters into the country.

Defeating ISIS his first year in office when everyone said it couldn't be done, and obama-dama-dingdong couldn't (wouldn't) do it his whole time in office. Very telling....

The Kurds, of course, shall NEVER be credited for their part in driving ISIS out of Syria and Iraq, and in fact, all the remaining military force of the regular Iraqi and Syrian armies, as well as those of Turkey, will now concentrate on trying to force the Kurdish genie back in its bottle.

It had better be either a very sturdy bottle, or the Kurds will come busting out all over again, and it may not go well with their oppressors.

10 months of Trump vs. 3 years of Obama since inception of ISIS.

Our GREAT military's accomplishment under Trump CLEARLY shows that Odungheap had NO intention of stopping ISIS.

As a matter of FACT, Odungheap created and used ISIS as a TOOL for forcing refugees into non-Middle Eastern countries such as Germany, France, USA, etc.., thus attempting to SPREAD THE ISLAMIC CALIPHATE WORLDWIDE.
