Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday that the Islamic State remains a complicated foreign policy challenge and is actually stronger in some corners of the world today than it was before having its self-proclaimed caliphate decimated by U.S.-backed forces in Syria and Iraq.
There are certainly places where ISIS is more powerful today than they were three or four years ago, said Mr. Pompeo, who asserted that President Trump is very focused on making sure that we apply the right resources against the problem.
Mr. Pompeos rare acknowledgment of the Islamic States threat, a group President Trump has claimed victory over, came during an interview with CBS This Morning.

Pompeo doesn’t sound to me like a dedicated messenger for Trump.
He is right they have reps in congress now
Makes total sense to me given the past decade of 'mass' migration. Look at Europe.... and all those imported by Obama and lying Ryan into the US. We even got a few in Congress.
You expect him to outright lie and bull-shit about the regathering strength of the Islamic State Islamo Nazi Fascist just because Commie Twitterman, is in denial about it? Trump’s decision too openly vacant the battlefield was completely naive and outright insane. Trump should immediately resurge in Syria link up with the Kurds and the Israelis just destroy ISIS, Al Qudea, Iranian, Syrian forces.
Read the article, he does not specify where they are stronger. He does say this:”The caliphate is gone and their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult, Mr. Pompeo said.The caliphate is gone and their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult, Mr. Pompeo said.” This contradicts his premise.
Shut up Mike.
Islam is the problem.
ISIS is a symptom.
You sound like John McCain. I thought he was dead. The funeral lasted a week.
You sound like a typical Islamic Fascist sympathizing leftist Neo-Communist
Yeah yeah yeah
“But Democrats”
The Countries identified as where ISIS is regrouping are Libya, and Iraq.
I believe they are also regrouping in a few Philippine islands.
They’re also gaining much strength back inside Syria too in addition too also expanding inside Afghanistan the fight is far from over.
“Pompeo doesnt sound to me like a dedicated messenger for Trump.”
He never has, as far as I’m concerned. He’s about as exciting as Wonder bread.
Nevertheless, I see no reason to doubt what the’s saying. I don’t think many thought ISIS would go away.
lying Ryan called himself a 'republican'... He helped the Obama administration ship in thousands of so called 'young' male muslim refugees ... They are on lifetime welfare... thanks to 'we the people'... Then there is this thing called 'chain migration' that allows the extended families to get all the benefits government can dispense for life... Catholic Charities, and other 'cough cough' religious charities, thanks to W Bush 's executive order are flush with cash trafficking peoples.
It is said that ignorance is bliss...
Pompeo has stated to a group of graduates in TX, he learned to lie, cheat, and steal in the CIA. “We even had classes in it.”
Meanwhile, much to the boo hoo cries of the US, Syria, and Russia are kicking Jihadi butts in Syria. They have stopped Turkish convoys who were sending tanks hardware, weapons to the rebels. Try following the Syrian War, and see who is winning back Syria for Syrians.
“Pompeo doesnt sound to me like a dedicated messenger for Trump.”
Why? Because he tells the truth? He does what Trump does — he just tells it like it is. I think it’s refreshing. ISIS is not going away.
And there are sure to be a few ISIS infiltrators among the masses of “refugees” being boated across the Med from Libya to Italy, by traitorous Soros-backed NGOs.
