ISIS is in shambles, and the U.S.-led coalition is currently looking
for signs the terror group is trying to reconstitute itself in Iraq and
Syria, according to Col. Patrick Work, the commander of the 82nd
Airborne Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team . . . . . .
In Iraq, Mosul was liberated after a nearly nine-month intense urban battle in mid-July.
Since the capture of Iraq’s second most populous city from ISIS
militants, territory held by the terror group has rapidly dwindled.
Tal Afar was liberated at the end of August, and the Iraqi town of
Hawija fell shortly thereafter following just under two weeks of
fighting.
ISIS’ combat power appears on the ropes as its caliphate crumbles. The
rapid fall of Hawijah witnessed nearly 1,000 ISIS fighters, who once
pledge to fight to the death, surrender en masse to Kurdish Peshmerga
forces, according to a report from the New York Times.
The liberation of Mosul and ongoing fight in Raqqa is behind ISIS’ rapid collapse, according to Work.
It takes “a massive amount of resources and effort,” and ISIS “consumed
massive amounts of resources” to defend Mosul, Work said in a phone
interview with reporters on Tuesday.
“ISIS is in tatters … the whole thing is falling apart,” he added.

I must've missed your story about the 4 soldiers killed in Niger and how the President was golfing when the bodies returned to the US. Guess you wouldn't want to disrespect the office of the President by being critical of him.
ReplyDelete1. Never mind that Barack ordered the deaths of 32 Navey Seals in the downing of CH 47 in Afghanistan or the gun running from Libya or the deaths of the four at the Embassy, two of which were killed 5 hours after your Heinous went to bed.
DeleteBet you didn't know that the military did not want any fanfare at the return of those soldiers, did you.
So what you are saying is that the military publicly requested the President to not participate in a military event? That is very telling of how the military feels about our President. Unless you know about this because someone told you a secret or there is a conspiracy theory out there that you have the inside scoop on. My Google fingers tell me that Fox news has reported nothing but the deaths of the soldiers.
DeleteIts interesting how you do not have one critical word to say about our President. Do you agree with everything he does and say or do you just have time to be critical of the people you don't like?
What I am saying is this: The Military does not expect Trump to receive each and every casualty returning home. No president (without exception) has ever done so. Again, this is the latest "scandal" from the Left Out Ones. I heard that the wind blew Trumps hair on the rightside of his head into disarray, proving what Trump really thinks of the Right. More crap from those who have no ideas and no awareness as to mounting financial problems (i.e. debt).
DeleteThat sounds remarkably familiar to when Obama was President and scratched his nose during the national anthem and Fox news was screaming the President was a Muslim. So you think the king of running companies into bankruptcy is going to cure the US of their debt problem? Ive got a bridge to sell you if you are interested. The price is right!! PROMISE!
Delete534 Trump companies. Four went into Chapter 11, which is not the kind of bankruptcy you want to think it is. Chapter 11 is a court supervised repayment scheduling. I know, I took a Chapter 11 and paid back all my creditors. That is what Trump did, as well.
DeleteYou don't watch Fox so where did you get your information. I watch that network and know your example did not happen.
So how many businesses have you created or manage?
I was being hyperbolic about the Obama story. You and every conservative writer, commentator, televangelist and twitter warrior in the US tried everything in your powers to undermine Obama with every little twitch he made in public. And you had some success and you had some failures. The result is that this is politics now. Since our President is the least honest person in every room he enters, truth has no meaning anymore. The only thing that matters now is what people will believe. Republicans tried and succeeded to break the political system and now it will never get fixed. And once the side you hate so much takes over again, they'll be little anyone can do to stop them from making America into what you hate.
DeleteI am not a public persona and what I do is not relevant. I have real world obligations just like any grown adult and a thorough understanding of accounting, finance and economics and Trump's business acumen is about as provable as anything else that comes out of his mouth. He may have only sent 4 of his own companies through bankruptcy but their are scores of companies that he's worked with that have gone bankrupt working with and for him, directly and indirectly related to their business with him. Since all of his businesses are private and he has never released any of his financial records, the only truth in his business acumen is what you are willing to believe.
Interesting comment. Those companies you claim to have gone broke working for Trump, well, if you think mismanagement is the fault of others than company ownership, you really do not understand the politic of company dynamics.
DeleteIn my business as a builder/contract, I placed a premium on loyalty. I had a score of sub-contractors who bid and worked on my jobs. I really did not shop bids. But my point is this: Those contractor were required to complete their jobs in line with their bids. If they mis-guessed their costs, too bad. Diddo for me. Diddo for those who work for Trump. There is a reason why you do not see a surge in complaints against Trump by his numerous subs. It is because he is fair and supplies business opportunities. Anyway, good post.
