RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted October 18, 2017 Not sure I would run with that headline, as they still have strongholds and cells all over but this is damn strong delivery on a promise http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/raqqa-victory-means-trump-defeated-isis-in-months-after-years-of-excuses-from-obama/ I found this kinda funny within the article Joshua Keating, writing in the liberal commentary site Slate, noted that Trump had "instructed the Pentagon to loosen the rules of engagement for airstrikes to the minimum required by international law, eliminated White House oversight procedures meant to protect civilians, and ordered the CIA to resume covert targeted killing missions." (He meant it as a criticism.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted October 18, 2017 whats funny is then you have Huffpo running a similar article, but not one mention of Trump https://www.yahoo.com/news/isis-losing-apos-capital-apos-214123767.html and they say there is no agenda I am sure Newbie, MDC, Worms and others will be along soon to give credit to Obama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,640 Posted October 18, 2017 "I totally changed rules of engagement. I totally changed our military, I totally changed the attitudes of the military Trump said on "The Chris Plante Show." "ISIS is now giving up, they are giving up, there are raising their hands, they are walking off. Nobody has ever seen that before." When Plante asked why that hadn't happened before, Trump took the bait. "Because you didn't have Trump as President." Wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted October 18, 2017 Wow. True or False again take the twitter trolling aspect out of it did he do what he said, and was he responsible for changing the rules of engagement. It took 9 months, for something Obama said would take years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took 9 months, for something Obama said would take years There were signs as Obama left office that this was coming, the cracks had been apparent, but there's not doubt that Trump's strategy of taking off the gloves got to this faster. Then meanwhile in Iraq, (our Iran's) sh*tbag 'allies' have declared war on our real allies, the Kurds, who did all the US's heavy lifting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted October 18, 2017 So, the same people crying about us killing innocent people in Syria are happy to see us stop trying to avoid it? Odd. Almost like they never really cared to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,891 Posted October 18, 2017 The strategy was in place and working at the end of Obummer's term: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/22/world/middleeast/rex-tillerson-isis.html Cheers to Trump for sticking with Obummer's plan to clean up Bush's mess.

wiffleball 4,640 Posted October 18, 2017 Can you imagine Eisenhower after Normandy? "I made the plan. It was me. I told them what to do. It was all me. I made the most biggest most beautifullest plan in the world. Not like those other guys. I'm the one who freed Europe. It wasn't the generals it wasn't the soldiers it was me it was the ike. The ike freed Europe. It's unbelievable. It's amazing. Before they didn't have the Ike and Europe is controlled by the Nazis. But then the I came on and now the Nazis are on the run. It was all me." What a classless buffoon. You know there's a bunch of generals and soldiers just banging their heads against the wall today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
