Guess who Marie Harf credits with the virtual defeat of ISIS?

U.S. military officials on Tuesday revealed that ISIS has lost 98 percent of the territory it once held, and since President Trump took office, half of its so-called “caliphate” has been captured.

You can thank the Obama administration for that, says Marie Harf, now a political commentator for Fox News. Here she is on “The Five” to explain.

Marie Harf: "The strategy that has led to a virtual defeat of ISIS in the caliphate…is largely a strategy that was laid out during the #Obama administration by military commanders." #TheFive https://t.co/2xXlJTjp08 pic.twitter.com/mr5DZMmCdL

So, is this one of those deals like crediting the uptick in the stock market with policies Barack Obama put in place?

Fox News reports:

The massive gains come after years of “onerous” rules, when critics say the Obama administration “micromanaged” the war and shunned a more intensive air strategy that could have ended the conflict much sooner.

“The rules of engagement under the Obama administration were onerous. I mean what are we doing having individual target determination being conducted in the White House, which in some cases adds weeks and weeks,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, the former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence. “The limitations that were put on actually resulted in greater civilian casualties.”

Isn’t Harf the one who inspired the #JobsForISIS hashtag back in 2015, suggesting that a lack of job opportunities is what led young men to join ISIS?

Or it was because Trump said to kill them with relentless force.

Actually, she’s telling the truth, but it was a strategy 0bama discarded his entire time in office.

Harfing

To say or assert something so patently stupid and preposterous as to generate widespread mockery. Named in honor of State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf.

She’s a lot like the Clintons, just throws out outrageous lies out of habit, even when it’s not necessary and rarely gets challenged on it.

That being the case, the recently revealed dramatic increases in homelessness and poverty must also be due "a strategy that was laid out during the #Obama administration..."

In a way she is correct. Obama created ISIS. So ISIS only exists because of Obama, therefore Obama set in motion the ability for Trump to defeat them.

So thank you Obama for creating ISIS so your successor can in-f@@K what you did and defeat them.

And that, coupled with a booming economy that Obama is now publicly taking credit for, has really put us all in great shape!

That's right. She said the strategy was "laid out" by military commanders during the Obama Administration - she did not claim it was implemented by the Obama Administration.

So, technically, she was not lying.

;-)

LOL, not even reading the article, I found myself musing:

“Who would she say is responsible? Who? Hmmm...The Salvation Army? The Boy Scouts? Code Pink? Sears? Microsoft? Vladimir Putin’s right hand? Francisco Franco? Carl Sagan? Who? I just cannot think of who it might be...”
