It helps that Obama isn’t able to give the “good terrorist” weapons anymore.
Care to explain who actually defeated the main forces of ISIS? Thought not.

There are Good terrorists, Bad terrorists, and Ugly terrorists. Actually, they are all UGLY terrorists. Have you seen their faces?
As long as they are willing to kill each other, let's give them lots of weapons.
Aleppo and Palmyra were finally liberated in late 2016, the key combats during and after the Elections,

That's when ISIS started being rolled back big time. The battle of mosul started in sept 2016. Of the 60k isis fighters killed in the war against isis 50k were killed before trump took office Since two scoops says it's thanks to trump I want to know what trump did in 2016 for this to happen. It's yet one more simple question that will never be answered by yet one more patnet fanatical ideologue.
It was the Russians who started going after ISIS. Obama was forced to follow like a lap dog. Very pathetic on Obama's part to just allow ISIS to rise, and do nothing while they engaged in mass genocide, rape and slavery.
I will never forgive Obama.

ISIS lost over 50% of it's territory between 2014 and trump being electied. Even more before he took office. That's certainly doing nothing.
Still waiting for someone to tell me what trump did that ISIS was defeated thanks to trump? Most of ISIS fighters were killed before trump took office. Mosul was mostly recaputred when trump took office. Almost all of the ISIS controlled Iraq cities were recaptured before trump took office. Lots of running and hiding going on.

Didn't Pelosi say "We have to grow ISIS before we can start reducing ISIS"?
One day we better wise up and learn the "play book" because they are not playing by our rules or our playbook.
ISIS/ISIL whatever is not on there last legs by a long shot.
Baghdadi has been "killed" more times than Bin Laden and each time this country calls it "Mission Accomplished", we find out it isn't.

Like I said, no thanks to Obama.

Falluja was the first ISIL/ISIS conquest of a city, in January 2014. Obama flippantly dismisses Falluja as a "Profoundly Conservative Sunni City." in the above piece.
In June, ISIL had completed a merger with several Al Qaeda affiliates, and then broke with the Al Qaeda organization.
Here is ISIS, 2014-2015:
Like lightening, ISIS conquered Mosul and Ramadi, prompting a huge crisis in Iraq. Then they followed up with the seizure of Palmyra, and further encircled Aleppo.
An article from BI captures the sense of "Shock and Awe" at the rapid expansion of the "JV Team" in May 2015.

Russia began intervening on behalf of Syrian Government forces in the Fall of 2015.
Aleppo and Palmyra were finally liberated in late 2016, the key combats during and after the Elections, much to the chagrin of the Neoliberals and their Media Machine (see posts to follow, I just found more evidence that Samantha Power, Sunstein's wife, is a total Cunt, btw).
Mosul was declared liberated in July of 2017 by the Iraqi Government.
Here is ISIS today, in late 2017:
Thanks to the magic powers drawn by the Orb of Cofeve:
... and letting Arab Special Forces, Kurds, and Russians, along with US air support and advisers, work their magic without interference from Neoliberals and Political Islam symps.
#Politics #ISIS
The defeats of ISIS under Trump's watch is a major accomplishment; Obama reacted very late to the crisis and indeed apologizes for ISIS' early gains in 2014-2015.
