BAGHOUZ, Syria -- The caliphate has crumbled, and the final offensive is over. While the official announcement hasn’t yet been made – Fox News has been told that this village, the last ISIS stronghold, is liberated.

It’s the first time since we’ve been here in Syria for five days that the bombs have stopped dropping and the gunfire has disappeared. We have witnessed the end of the caliphate – the brutal empire that once ruled over 8 million people – is gone.

Troops here are now bringing down the black flags of ISIS. The flags no longer fly over the town, instilling fear.

We need them all here because this is where the enemy is. Posse comitatus has limits, such as, as we know, it doesn’t apply to foreign invasions, and it doesn’t apply to the Marine Corps. Mr. Trump has the support of the tough guys, the really really tough guys, who, they’re polite and everything, to a certain point, and then you know, look out, you don’t even want to go there.

I hear ya! They're never really gone.

Still, it's nice to see a 180 degree approach to the Middle East from when Obama was Pres.

There is only one effective way to win a war and that is totally destroy your enemy and then make their ideology illegal. You destroy all artifacts and symbols of their rule and occupy while making it illegal for them to form any offensive army. This is how the allies won in Germany and Japan.

The relieved faces of our allied soldiers, redeploying home from Baghouz, having survived.

God bless them all, may they have many grandchildren to tell their war stories to.

Bye Bye Baghouz. Bye Bye.

I’m sure that’ll be one of them.

I have no doubt they’ll find something.

ANYTHING besides admit something positive about him.

“Darn no B-52s”

They smoked them pretty hard anyway, 500 pounds at a time.

The soldiers clearing the area are picking their way through a good number of crispy critter remains scattered about.

“I really want to see the videos of their demise.”

A lot of that is posted on twitter, if you search it Baghouz, Baguz, Bahgus and the like.

Sometimes it’s eerie how easy it is to channel these bozos.

With John McCain helping him at every turn.

Sorry - this is apparently someone’s wishful thinking and not authentic.

I want to see a surrender document!

Obama said we’ll never see one in our war against terrorists.

Wow. Never had an account at Twitter. Too much to read and see. Thank-you. Story and the demise is brutal, killer and tragic. Good riddance to Soetero’s “ISIL” for now.
