I thought they were wiped out. Has Syria now morphed into an anti Assad operation?

An odd and somewhat misleading headline from a supposed “conservative publication”.

We help to train others on how to take care of ISIS should they pop up from time to time.

If I were to guess. Many of the fighters for ISIS were comprised of former Sunni Iraqi military working as paid for ISIS fighters, and are out of favor with the new Shiite Iraq majority government.

Seems that Iraq is set up for another civil war with a Sunni Shiite conflict forthcoming.

President Trump appears to be setting the table for this conflict to proceed in the most favorable terms for the United States.

Maybe even pulling forces out of inner Iraq and intervening only from the outskirts as needed.

Having Iran control Iraq is not an option. And bolstering Sunni and Kurd’s in the area to better confront Iran will allow the local population to control their own destiny with minimal American intervention and concurs with Trumps middle east doctrine.

Why stop pushing them when we have them on the run or dead? It’s like stopping the Christmas bombings of North Vietnam maybe a week early when we could have had total victory had we pushed just a bit longer and had the balls to tell the NVA, you lose.

Interesting word, amid. It means in the middle of. I don’t think you can be in the middle of only one thing.
