Terrorism: Nine months after President Trump promised to defeat ISIS "quickly and effectively," U.S.-backed forces captured Raqqa, which until Tuesday had served as the ISIS capital. The battle now is over who deserves credit: Trump or President Obama.
Trump, not surprisingly, claims it for himself: "It had to do with the people I put in and it had to do with rules of engagement," Trump said in a radio interview.
Before dismissing this as typical Trump self-aggrandizement, consider that for several years Obama insisted that a quick and decisive victory against ISIS was all but impossible.

Even the headline!
Of course the Kenyan fraud did all he could to protect his kind by kabuki theater "war" against them that did nothing.
Several pilots stated how fake their bombing missions were.
ISIS has not been defeated.
Winning a war requires the will to win. Obama did not have it. Trump does.
Oh, those pesky details...
That is true.
True, for the overall organization. However, Obama said repeatedly that defeating the forces of ISIS in Iraq would be a long haul, requiring careful solutions, etc., etc. Well, those forces seem to have been vanquished - at least for now.
Didn’t many of ISIS move onto ungoverned Philippine islands?
There must be quite a lot of those islands.

ISIS is just a JV team . . . Obambozo told us that . . .
I think Duertere, or however you spell his name, announced a day or two ago that they’ve cleaned them all out, or most of them. Also with US weapons/supplies.
Yes, I understand the dead terrorists are now fighting off the wild dogs, feeding on their remains, sticking up out of the shallow mass graves.
(send in the wild boar)
Cat owner is right
Daesh still holds a fat chunk of Syria and whatever the former Iraq is now called
Sad but true
I’d say militarily they are about 60% destroyed which would end most armies
But these guys ain’t normal
President Trump stated the mission and let the military do what they do best. He did not run the war, pick the targets, require suicidal ROEs or go PC on them. Good job President Trump.
(that prez was quite a mess).
What a joke his Presidential Library is.
ISIS has not been defeated — just like there is such a thing as Obamacare, still.
Obama’s JV Squad.
No, but we took their capital which is a huge first step.
Exactly.
