    Very sad, awful & tragic indeed. But per article.

    "ISIS has been largely defeated in Syria and Iraq, but still has pockets of territory it controls in eastern and southern Syria."

    This is what people mean when they say Trump destroyed ISIS. ISIS fate is determined now, they are on the way out. Essentially wiped out of Iraq, and wiped out of their headquarter city. Leadership in shambles as each top leader & substitute got bullets in them. Before, they were a huge growing network & no one really knew how to stop them.

    The ISIS members in this attack were actually relocated to that area. They were initially in a camp, but they cut a deal with the Syrian government.. Can't blame Trump for Assad/Syria releasing those ISIS members to that particular area of their own country.

    It’s the generals fault. Must be Democrats.

    It's a good thing Trump continued with Obama's plan to defeat ISIS, right?

    Remember when ISIS beheaded one of their first Americans, and Obama then played golf in the afternoon?

    Glad we have somebody else in charge now

    Hell ya man. Trump doesn’t play inordinate amounts of golf, nor play it down the road after children were shot in a school during their funerals, nor during Barbara Bush’s funeral.

    Right on triple X

    I do not believe Trump went straight off 'Obamas Plan', you apparently do. I did not create this thread, you did.
    So I assume your beliefs:
    1. Trump is using Obamas ISIS plan
    2. ISIS is not destroyed
    Therefore, are you admitting Obamas plan hasn't destroyed ISIS?


    To me the 'Obamas playbook' rhetoric was fake news. Even if that plan was 'good' it's apparent he didn't have the right people in the right roles to carry it out properly. To use an analogy in basketball terms (since you know Obama loved to use basketball analogies regarding ISIS) its like the Obama coaching staff drew up a great 3 point play, but decided to have Capela take that 3 point shot instead of Chris Paul.

    I say that because Trump had an immediate impact on ISIS. I also disagree with you because Mattis himself said on record "We've made new tactics approved by Trump in the fight against the Islamic State that put the terrorist group on their back foot. Trump directed a tactical shift from shoving ISIS out of safe locations in an attrition fight to surrounding the enemy in their strongholds so we can annihilate ISIS”

    Trump still initially planned to have a prolonged presence in Syria, which OMG!! Was out of Obamas playbook! Fake News! Trump took from Obamas plan! Give me a break.

    Between the two. Trump gets credit. All of it. Obama gets none. Obama failed against the 'JV team'.

    Bottom line is that Obama was too soft and couldn't get the job done with ISIS? Trump took care of it.

    A) Obama never claimed his plan was to destroy ISIS. It was always to contain it the way they did with Al Qaeda.
    B) Trump is the one who made the bold claims and attacked Obama's plan. Then he took over and just kept the EXACT SAME PLAN WITH THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE.

    literally nothing changed.

    Fake tactical shifts.

    It is utterly amazing the ability of Trumpanzees to distill complicated things into idiotically simple falsehoods then claim credit for the work of others and deflect blame for actual deeds done by simply claiming them not to be real. Kudos on your nutbaggery.
